I'm up to 17 tractors after todays purchase.I checked out some old A-Cs at guys home today.B-1,two B210's,36"tiller,3belt snowblower and 2 42" decks.They all run but need a little TLC,they sure did fill my trailer up.How about $475 for the whole lot.I'll get some pictures next week.

I have 5 at the moment. 4 are running. Due to storage space, that is one or two too many. Hopefully the club auction 7013S will be gone soon then it will likely be the 716-6 speed if the 720 works out. I'd love to have one with a deck on it full time, another with a tiller, another with a belly grader, another with dozer etc etc but I refuse to keep these machines outside. Brent

Brent, I appreciate your sentiments. I don't like the idea of any tractor sitting out and rusting away... I was trying to limit myself to 3, but then I was given this Gilson, whose fate is yet unknown... based on whether I can figure out the hydro problem (when I can find time to look at it)....

I have 11 with all but two inside, Sun41bird ask's a good question, What is the best way to store a tractor outside? I tried the tarp thing on a tractor a few years ago and swear it was worse than leaving it out. I think it traps the moisture in, more than it keeps it out, especially if its on the bare earth. When new tractors or quads are shipped I see they are on a big pallet and in a crate enclosed in plastic. Thats what I am gonna do this year with a few of them. Think Ill ask th question in Shop Talk and see if anyone has different ideas.

I've strung a tarp up on ropes tied to trees so if forms a kind of slant roof, used the kids old blow-up pool over two tractors, and just plain not had anything to cover them with. I've heard of using old truck caps (plain ol' shell type) as a roof over two or three tractors at a time, either resting on saw horses or right on the tractors.

I have a 4-wheeler cover I use on mine and its vented. It does pretty good and keeps the tractor dry when its outside. Currently I have 3 riders, one John Deere; a 1999 GT-235 54" cut, my Simplicity; a 1983 4211H 36", and a Dynamark 11hp with no deck. Hopefully after next weekend though, I'll have an all original 1974 John Deere 110.:D

Have 11, only five are good to go right now. Everything stored inside, even the implements. There's no such thing as having too many tractors or too much fun.:D

Just remember that when you die, your wife or relatives either sells the stuff at give away price or just calls in a dumpster to have it all hauled off. Seen it happen time and time again....

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
