B2601 Out in rain?

[milanmark]

I don't make a habit of it but will end up leaving my B2601 out in the rain... I'm having a polebarn built just won't be ready fora coupla storms coming thru.... definetly prefer to have stored inside. That said they are built pretty tough! Any input?

Buy a cheap tarp. You will probably find other uses for it later.

They sit on dealers' lots out in the rain, snow, sleet, etc. all over the USA. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Leaving a tractor in the rain is no problem, but leaving it out long term leads to weathering of paint, plastic and rubber.

It's not made of sugar!
It will be fine being out in the weather!

I would worry more about it turning pink in the hot sun, can you find some shade?

I see you have a grapple. My L2501 with Landpride third function sat outside for 6 months before I had my tractor shed built. At the very least I covered the joystick with a heavy plastic juice bottle that I cut the mouth off. I had read a few posts prior that folks had to replace the 3rd function switches and figured they might not be rated very high for water intrusion.

Get the wife's car out of the garage and store the tractor in there !

After over 20 years using them, I now park my tractors outside when it’s gonna rain so that they get washed…
