How do you store your tractors?

Asking out of curiosity, being as I’ve had a hard time finding good storage for mine (currently in a buddy’s barn) and I wanted to see how everyone else was doing with theirs. If yours is outside or in a carport, anybody have any paint/mouse/weather/theft issues? I don’t plan nor hope to leave mine out in the elements ever but I was curious to know how it works out for everybody else.

Mine are in a 6th option.  Leaky shed. 

I'm in the same boat as Mighty on that one,haha.

I went ahead and added that 6th option for ya... 
:upg: :upg: :upg:

Thank you! I used one last winter so I could blow the driveway out...wind always blew snow in through the door and I always had to cold start the ol' girl...she wasn't always too happy...

this is my spot for my stuff in the winter i put tarps on all my stuff

I keep the better ones, the runners and ones being worked on inside mostly in the garages but sometimes I'll stuff a few into the enclosed trailer AKA the portable shed.

The house up north has a slab of concrete where a pole barn was before we bought the place and that is where a lot of my parts tractors sit outside, the ones that are used are in the garage up there and down state I have a few sitting outside, I should tarp them but the tarps seem to always shred and leak so I don't bother.

I have only one running rig and sadly, it is out in the snow bank with the ‘junkyard’ dogs. The Rat Rod, is taking up a bay in the garage and my RTV sits outside. Sigh... now the snow is drifted in front of the garage door. Guess I’ll have to get the ‘real’ tractor out and dig my way in.

This is the junkyard pre-snow. The LT1000 (the only running rig there) with the seat tipped (at the far end) is hopefully going to be my build-off entry.

that is way to UNcluttered, not nearly enough going on in there.

Actually i am trying to get my garage down state decluttered so I can do some work without getting hurt, i have our side by side in there to do some plow mods and a zero turn mower that needs to be put back together and a yard machine L.U.V. bug (wifes little mini monster) that needs belts, lug tires, battery and paint touch up then MAYBE i can pull a stiga in and enter the build contest.

I need to build a 12x16 shed at both houses

Oh man, if you want cluttered you should come to my shed:



That's some of them anyways, there's more in the olther section. Haha.

man, that's a nice-looking collection! also, see your a chainsaw collector too.

Thank you sir! Yes that's my second collection, haha.

All my stuff sits outside uncovered. I do put a winch cover on and flip the seat up though.

Keep Brutus outside under a tarp. Have never had any issues with rust or anything but mine is painted. I will say if you live somewhere humid then you might get some light mold. Also I've used grill covers in the past and they work but the last one I bought was made by Tough Cover (got it off Amazon) and its actually made for mowers and its awesome!

The guy who buys "water proof" switches and swaps to stainless winch cable, just so it can sit out in the rain. I now have a fairly solid plymouth satelite currently out in the weather right now so I guess I shouldn't say too much.

My tractors are all stuffed inside but most of them are parts machines and buried under other stuff.

@mr.modified Oooooo please tell more about your satellite! I just bought a 74 back in October.
