machinery storage

[scottrac]

Hi
I'm after some ideas for storage when space is limited please
I'm not a real farmer but have a 10 acre small holding
I have 2 large sheds but one is full of stables for the wifes horses
the other is for my tractors,digger,dumper,telehandler etc and my workshop
I try and keep everything under cover to make it last longer but seem to always end up with attachments/buckets etc all over the yard
I know some of you have massive sheds etc to put stuff in but for the ones that havn't have any of you any ideas/pics of how you store yours?
I'd love another shed but nowhere to put one that wouldn't require driving through to get to others so no point.
None of my kit is new and want it to last as long as possible.
thanks in advance
scott

I do put tedder, fert spinner etc on a bale trailer, that saves a lot of space.

Don't have a bale trailer yet,looking for one to be a bale/low loader trailer to save space
Was thinking of some heavy duty racking to put skid steer attachments on?

Machinery is worth more than horses ,kick.them out and store the machinery ,its cost more to repair

At least you have a tele handler just incase the the horse dies in the stable ,,you have something to pull it out ,, note Dead horse in stable thread

Horses lived outside for thousands of years kick them out and use the stable

Keep the telehandler at the front as I would say that will be used most
If you keep horses there is good chance you are keeping rats
Is the horse shed near house ?

I think I might have to live outside before the nags

to be honest the skid steer is used the most but I know where your coming from, yes too near for my liking but got rats under control eventually

if she is into horses it might be cheaper in the long run

A curtain side body for the smaller stuff, cheap and easy to move.

I wish someone had told me that before I bought the place and built an arena and stables and field shelters etc etc

Mezzanine floor can be built for not a lot of money , few girders and a floor can double your storage , especially with. Handler with a bit of reach.
Smaller implements can be stored up on it .
Or heavy duty racking around the walls an option too for smaller equipment.

Loader buckets etc. can live outside.

If you could site an old curtain side trailer - could you not build a 3 or 4 bay single sloped roof shed. Open at the front, reverse in drive out, or store kit etc
