I usually tarp at least one tractor over the winter but I build a temporary "frame" over it before laying the tarp on and fastening it down. Many frames I build as I go and actually attach them to the tractor (floorboards, front axle, etc)with clamps, etc. and make them out of 2x4's using deck screws. I usually have one main stringer down the top center between the steering wheel and the front and I always round off this one plus round all edges with a router so the tarp won't wear. Once the tarp is laid on I lash it down into place using the frame and tractor parts (like wheels) to achor it. It gets lots of air circulation and the tarp doesn't touch the tinwork. Occasional tightening of the cords is sometimes necessary over the months. I keep the tarp about 12" off the ground to allow the air in and out and even poke a few small ventilation holes in the tarp which doesn't hurt.
