tractor shelter

[chuck172]

I got my new tractor coming next week, but I have no house for it. Besides a tarp, is there any quick shelter I can put around my new kubota L3200 that I due for arrival next week?
I know I'll probably use a tarp, but does anyone have any ideas?

I have a Shelter Logic shed for mine. Takes two people to put it up.

ShelterLogic for my 5740. Been there for four years and still like new. Very happy with it.

Does it need to be anchored to the ground? The ground is frozen.

I anchored mine to railway ties. They also raised the doorway up 8".

That's the trick to a successful life with your shelter. Nail it to the ground, you don't want it blowing away. I welded plates to the bottom of the pipes, drilled holes in the plates then got a ground rod driver and hammered about a dozen 42" lengths of rebar in the thing. It will not move, not even during a tropical storm and we've had three of them since my shelter has been in place.

Is there anyway to just weigh it down till the ground thaws?

Good idea! And less expensive than a barn.

I have a second one and I put a floor in it. 2x8's on 4x4's and then anchored the shelter to the floor.
