Where do you park your tractor when not in use, inside/outside/Covered outside?

[part-time-Farmer-NC]

I am blessed to be able to park my Kioti in my fairly new shop. I built it with my tractor in mind. Have two opposing 9' doors on the long end of the 30X24 shop.

My JD F1445 I keep under a covered shed. I'm wondering does it matter?

My initial thought was to keep from sun/rain exposure to the seats/hoses etc. I know it's not practical for some folks.

So how do you store keep your tractor(s) ?

Seen any adverse effects to storing your tractor in your method?

Under roof whenever possible

I keep the Kubota in the barn when not in use. I kept the previous tractor outdoors for 15 yrs and it suffered Sun damage to all rubber, plastic, and vinyl parts. Basically everything from hoses to switches deteriorated.

One of these... Don't have a shop/garage/barn...

I have the round top version of that. Kept my tractor in it for almost 20 years and it still looks like new. Worth the $1200 I spent on it.

My tractor lives in it’s house when not being used.

One third of my barn is like a one-car garage with no door; I had my tractor parked there for the first year I had it.
Rats chewed through a diesel line and so I bought a high-cube 40' shipping container; I park in there now.

In the garage at the house next to my truck. I have a separate shop I keep most of my tools in and a couple cars in.

ALWAYS under a roof, be it in the pole barn or in a shed. That Nevada sun wreaks havoc with paint and rubber.
