implements on the ground

[Billy13]

I have a few implements that I got along with a tractor purchase. A brush hog, finish mower, box blade and a single bottom plow. I'm not too worried about the plow but I thought I might put them up off the ground on some scrap 6X6's.
Is this unnecessary?

Get them off the ground and covered. Spray all unpainted surfaces with wd40.

Thanks, I needed another excuse for a pole barn.

Yep - know what you mean. I plan on putting up a new Pole barn and putting a sign on it: Toms Toybox

I would insulate the pole barn put heat to keep moisture away from the implements.(Keep away rust).
Refrigerator
Sofa
TV
Radio
AC for the summer

This would be a good pole barn to keep tractor and implements in.
Also
If you get kicked out of the house, It would make a good dog house to stay in for a while.
LOL

Well for those on a budget and cant afford a pole barn, pallets are a cheap option to get the toys up off the ground with. And depeneding on where you go they can be given to you free!

A heated concrete floor in the old Dog House sure makes it comfortable when you decide to take a nap under the bota.

You need to look at the glass half full. Not "excuse"- justification. You NEED one, to preserve the value of your equipment. A pole barn will save money. It will add property value. It will keep you out of trouble. Yada yada yada.

Well if your like me and keep your tractor parked in a residental neighborbood often times you may not be allowed to build a pole barn per code and ordenances. But what the Henrico Co doesnt know wont killem! My dad and I both have our toys up on blocks of wood or pallets and we took used truck bed liners to cover up our tractors with! All free material!

Re: implements off the ground

Just put all my Implements on pallets today, I need to snag some newer ones when I see them again, as the ones I had are pretty old but still functional..

With the addition of the Bucket Pallet Forks I can move stuff around in the Pole Barn and Out Buildings pretty easy to... Plus with just a few scraps of lumber as stands I have the implements adjusted so that attaching them is much easier now.. Not as easy as a QA would be but much easier then it was

Gotta love when free stuff makes life better
