Where is Your Tractor Kept?

[majorwager]

Not trying to redirect TRAFFIC, but question was posed on the ORANGE TRACTOR TALKS website, and it generated significant response.

For this Thread, if you care to share where your tractor "Lives", please do so. Attached house garage? Outbuilding/Pole Barn? Tractor Port?
Outdoors? An Additional Option?

Currently resides in the barn. She is also draped in a couple old flannel sheets to keep dust and any potential bat waste from landing on her.:laughing: Some may say I might be "pampering" a piece of equipment...but then again, its not like she receives "turn down" service at night.

I keep everything is the shop. The sun kills paint and interior. When you build a shop and someone tells you to build it bigger, do it. I致e outgrown mine.

Rusty, that shop far too clean, organized and well lighted to resemble my own, very impressive!!

DeerSlayer, not to over emphasize, but would "turn down" service really be considered unreasonable? Use tyveck dropcloths in my building, seems I unintentionally share space w/ too many birds, unfamiliar w/ the concept known as "house broken"


EDIT: UV rays deteriorate tires!

She has an easy life in an insulated, heated, air conditioned, dry, detached 40X80 metal shed.

I keep them under a metal carport cover. It protects them (& me) from rain, snow & uv, but not temperatures. I can only dream about an big enclosed work shop building here. The carport cover has to double as my fair weather work shop.

I keep the goodies in a packed Steelmaster shed. They really get us on property tax so we don't over-build.

Outside where she's been since 1947.

**** few parts on her less then 30 years old that I know of.

Mine stays inside. The roof leaks and it’s not insulated and I wash the tractor about twice a year. I don’t care about any of that. Sunlight kills equipment.

 

[cat fever]

This was the sleeping quarters for all my equipment. I have moved and now only the seeder, baler and tractor are under cover. Give me a year or two and it'll all be covered again.:thumbsup:

 

[timswi]

Mine stays in a heated and AC'd garage.

 

[wagne223]

Outside under a pole barn roof. Last summer hurricane relieved me of about 10 feet of it. Tree was inches from the tractor.
The 4 wheeler did not fare well.

 

[Thomas]

Outside but cover setting on planks...this I like.

 

[zoltanthegypsy]

Tractor port. N side of the boat barn mostly out of the sun. Battery maintainers connected.

 

[shooterdon]

In a detached garage.

 

[bdhsfz6]

L6060 in detached garage near house with seasonal implements. Mower & pallet forks in Summer, Snowblower & FEL plow in Winter.



MX5800 in pole barn near fields with hoe & grapple attached.



Both have no heat but are dry and out of the sun. Never enough room in either.

 

[JerryK]

All three of my Mahindri are kept in a dry, partially heated in the winter, critter proofed, camera/alarm equipped 40 by 80 barn...

 

[HEC]

Both tractors in a garage . I have a drive in garage under house for the 2650 so it is kept warm for the winter activities . I did have to do some mods to the overhead door due to cab height . The M5700 is kept in an unattached two car garage along with car .

Where I can keep an eye on it...

I have a 32'x80' pole barn for hay. I added a 20'x80' side shed to it for the tractors and hay equipment.
