What"s the best way to store a tractor outside when inside storage not available?

I use the plastic tarps BUT if it is for any period of time (as in being stored) I always build some type of a wooden frame to keep the tarp away from the tinwork. That way air can move freely around inside there and the plastic doesn't make contact with the metal. I tie it down to wheel rims, axles, etc. to keep it secure. Not too handy if you're using the tractor but for longer term storage, it works great, even through these northern winters we have up here. I custom make the frame and even attatch it to parts of the tractor chassis if I can, I use 2x4's and deck screws which enables me to disassemble it when it comes apart.

I kept my Ford backhoe under a tarp for the first 8 or 10 tears I had it. The hoe, the front bucket and the tires were in the weather but everything else stayed dry. I put a plastic bucket over the exhaust to keep it from cutting through and tied it at the corners and two places on each side. With practice I got to where I could cover it in about ten minutes, uncover in five. An ugly solution, and often a pain in the butt, but it's better than having the rear end fill up with water.
This was a great relief, though:

I'd try to get an old semi trailer or a shipping container to put it in otherwise you will end up with a junker in a few years.
