Tractor attachment storage

[vartz04]

Trying to figure out how you guys do it. I ccan't build a shed for at least a year. I have a lawn sweeper, a rear grader blade, a single bottom plow, a 42" snow blade, and a 42 " mower deck.

Usually there is only one on the tractor at a time. I hate having the stuff on the ground cause its a pain to clean around

At one of my dad's farm properties, we put together cheap "pole barn" which really was just a roof and north side of used galvanized tin. It was enough to keep Ford 9N tractor and mower out of the weather.

Thus, I'd recommend a makeshift roof until you build your actual shed.

Get some railroad tie scraps to keep implements off the ground (ie prevent rust).

Pallet racks. Great for storing snowmobiles, back blade, rear snow blade, front plow for lawnmower, rear rototiller for tractor, sweeper, snowmobile buggy, tons of stuff.

Just a roof is all you need to keep them covered and out of the weather.

A few poles, sloped tin roof and cross ties or concrete blocks (even similar size logs work) to keep stuff off the ground and covered.

Or just do it like we've always done it. Just park them against the tree line and cover with a tarp. Some don't even get covered.

I've had good success with portable garages from Shelter Logic. Heavy duty fabric will last several years. The quonset style is easier to get vehicles and equipment in and out of than the peak roof style due to the increased door opening. A tarp or poly film floor will keep out ground moisture and vents high on either end will minimize condensation. I rigged up a roll-up door with some rope and a couple of pulleys, so getting in and out is no fuss. You might think about getting one with a clear cover and use it later as a greenhouse, once your permanent shed is built. A huge selection of hoop greenhouses -- and portable garages, too -- is available at Farmtek.com.

+1 That is the standard here. Gather some used telephone poles, sawmill grade lumber and go to town.

Dont put walls on a sloped shed unless you have doors. The derecho of 2012 blew out 1/2 of them in my area. Wind catches them just like a parachute.

I put my stuff on logs or cinder blocks then cover them with EPDM roofing. Sharp spots will punch threw EPDM but seems to last longer then a tarp. Some use tyvek.

Portable buildings aren't allowed here. That and a maximum 6' fence height are the only restriction the village has that affect me.

My thought is some 3'-4' deep by 4' wide shelves in the back corner of the garage. If I plan it out right they can move right into the shed.

Tarps

I keep tractor implements (and even tractors) on pallet racking:
