Jim: I farmed for years with no insurance on equipment other than liability to protect me from damage that equipment may do to others. Liability is a very small bill. If you do the economics and I mean straight economics, it is by far less costly to leave those tractors and tillage equipment right outside, than to provide housing plus loss insurance. Big problem with loss insurance in my opinion is you pay dearly for other peoples carelessness.

Did you know that floor temperatures of cab of a 125 hp tractor doing tillage work can reach temperatures of 140 degrees F when its 65 degrees outside. That my friend can create fires long after you leave for the night. You go to those salvage yards, most burnt tractors happened when no one was around and chafed wires were the source. Those last 85 series IH with cabs were fire champions.
