I would start with a double wide car shed, since that size is so common the trusses and such will be cheaper.
I would make it 4 feet longer for the workbench up front. As well. Measure out even a small 9n with a loader on it (we all want a loader someday...) and you will find they fill up a building fast, you need all of that length.....
I would be sure to make it a foot higher than a standard car shed. Really should have a 10 foot high door openning, newer compacts with roll bars tend to be just over 8 feet, and loaders and such tend to get you over 8 feet.
This building allows you to put 2 things in it, allows a taller camper to fit in, so makes your property more valuable, to you or in the case you sell your property some day. You can store 2 things in it, or work one one with parts and tools spread out as a person needs.
A skinny shack you squeeze a single tractor in and can't have room to work on both sides of it the same time, have to duck to get in the door - what good is that? Building such a building is a waste of money, you won't ever enjoy it.
So a 24 x 28 with 9 or 10 foot tall door is as small as you ever should go, or just save your money and work outdoors under a tree. A little longer, 24x36 would be gobs better.
