 To cover or not to cover?

Tarps aren't too bad, especially if they don't go down to the ground. Special covers are made for some tractors but they are pricey. My 6-month solution (supposedly over one winter) was a 14' x 25' arctic shelter with an all weather cover. That temporary solution has been in place for 5-years so I guess it worked out OK or maybe it says something about me and my priorities.

My tractor does spend some summers unsheltered at our camp and doesn't seem the worse for wear. I just put a juice can over the exhaust, tip up the seat and hold it forward with a bungee cord. To me, having some shelter and lighting for working on the tractor is more important than keeping it out of the weather. I'd go for something that both the tractor and I could get under. I think I'm less weatherproof than most tractors and I also complain about it a lot more.
