I've got a half dozen or so implements for my Ferguson TO20, and I'm thinking about putting up a storage shed of some sort for the tractor, the implements, trailer, etc. In thinking about this I had the notion that if there were some sort of stand for each implement I could line them up in the shed with less space taken up (right now each one is on an old pallet with a tarp over it). Anybody dealt with this problem and have any useful ideas and/or drawings, photos, etc.?

Thanks

There are several websites that have plans for various ag buildings. Some of them are extension service websites. Here's one with lots of plans to look through.

Have fun.

My smaller implements are all on dollies that I
roll out of the building when I want to use them.
Everything from spray rig, fertilizer spreader,
wood chipper, cement mixer to a disc mower and a
rotary mower. They work great, but you need a
cement floor so they will roll easy.

I had thought about dollies of some sort. Did you make yours, buy them, or what?

I make mine from 2x4s and 3" or 4" casters. The
caster size depends on the weight of implement.
Lag bolts to hold the casters on and deck screws
to build the dolly. Each dolly is custom sized
to get the right balance point and fit the imple-
ment. I use 4 swivel type casters so I can turn
it real easy and get in tight storage areas. The
job goes easy with a power chop saw.

Thanks. I made one like that for my rototiller so I could move it in and out of a garage without running the engine inside.

I'm planning a new equipment shed for implements and have already decided to erect a steel beam running the length of the shed (centered in the ceiling). Each 3 pt. hitch implement will hang from the beam (using short wing arms if necessary) with chain. Then I can back up to it and swing the implement in line more easily. I had thought this was an original idea until I talked to several other farmers who are already doing it and now I see others on this posting are doing the same thing. Sounds like it will work.

Glenshoe, that's an excellent idea. An old work buddy talked about "hanging" his old bushog front from a big limb under a tree. Made it so easy his 12 year old daughter had no trouble in hooking up . Done my shed the same way with 4 inch angle iron running 3 feet from the edge of the roof. Don't even have to be close to have easy hookup on my finish mower, bushog, scrape, or ripper. Now if I could just get that darned post hole digger mounted some way.

I've got a cousin in NC. Her husband and her farm 85 acres of tobacco, 500 acres of cotton and assorted peanuts, corn, and beans.

He sent me down a picute of his sheds where his equipment is stored. I noticed he had this big eqipment stacked in the shed. I don't know if it is a hoist system or what but he had hooded cotton sprayers stacked two high.

I wondered if you could put up a rail and use a cheap come along or hoist and roll in on the rail?

I have heard of hanging smaller implements from old swing sets with. This will let you move them around when hooking up. Maybe you could hang a beam in your shed to hang some implements from. Just sucure the chains to the beam well.

Steve,
I'm in the same position and was thinking about building a shed/building maybe 20 feet wide x 40 feet long or somewhere in that range. On each side of the building there would be, not sure what to call them so, "wings" or to better describe them an attached shed to the building. The inside of the building would store tractor and round baler. The attached sheds on each side would allow me different "stalls" in which a different implement could be stored in each one for a total of 8 to 10 (four to five implements on each side). The attached sheds would be open on three sides. Hope this makes sense and this is just something I was kicking around.
good luck,
Mike

Exactly what I am building except I went with a 32' by 60' at a height of 12' up to 14' plan on puting drop shed on sides for implements. One thing about country life "never can have to much shed space".

I too am in need of a shed, but need some sort of plans more than what I currently have in my mind. What are you guys using for plans? .... or are you using plans?

Lee,
Don't have any plans. I've been around and built these types of buildings, pole barns, horse stables, etc. to where I have them memorized.
