PetesPonies1 117 #1 Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) i have several buildings, lots of land . . but I need a place for my tractor collection . . which is growing. I built a 56 x 64 monitor style barn for my cars./restoration work. I'm building an Esso Station presently for my Esso stuff AND 2 wheeled items But I need another. I have several ideas in my head, but not sure which I'm going with. So I was wondering if anyone has a special building for your tractor collection? If so, let's see it.

Pullstart 63,109 #2 Posted March 18, 2021 @stevebo has an awesome Horse Barn with class! I have a big pole building with pallet racking, but there’s not much fancy about it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,882 #3 Posted March 18, 2021 If I were building a Wheel Horse themed building it would be fashioned after the Chandler Equipment Sale building that was next to the Pond's first factory. Chandler Sales and Service located next to the old South Dixie Way factory is thought to be the first Wheel Horse dealership, they were bought out by Weaver Ag and are still a Toro dealership although no longer at the same location. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,442 #6 Posted March 18, 2021 Growing up my parents bought a house when I was about 4 1/2. It was in the village and was owned by a family that ran a feed mill. There was a carriage barn and horse corral. Yes they had a couple of horses along with all kinds of barn fowl there. There were I think 4 horse stalls inside along with another approx. 15' X15' corral, and a couple of small rooms. 2nd floor was wide open. It would made a perfect horse barn today. All kinds of room for parts. Probably could put 50 tractors up top with a lift system. House is for sale. I'm waiting for an open house to go visit and see what has changed.

You finance the build and I may let you use my land... For partial use of course. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would look like the cupola in @squonk’s old place! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PetesPonies1 117 #9 Posted March 18, 2021 Good ideas. I have a variety of machines, always looking for more Wheel Horse. I love the idea of a machinery shed, but think I want it closed, rather than one side open. Where I want to place it, more narrow, than deep. So again, machinery shed doesn't fit the bill in typical terms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,442 #10 Posted March 19, 2021 Forgot to mention: The little bldg to the right is where the outer Horse Corral was. There was a hedge row on the end where I found a Suburban front reel mower buried. Little window on left. There was a long room there and that's where we had the West End Rams dressing room. One neighborhood football team against another neighborhood team. I remember winning one game 164 to 48! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I'll need some facing each other. In other words, both sides. You think a 5x6 space is ample room per tractor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,499 #14 Posted March 21, 2021 That sounds about right, with no implements attached. The plow or snowthrower adds 2-3 more feet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
