Two methods that I have used with success since I also don't have a shed yet are: I have cut 2/3 of the ends off of a plastic 55 gallon drums and slit it down one side. I put this over the back of the seat of my Ford 3000 and the other end rests on the steering wheel. The sides of the drum drape down far enough to cover the arms of the 3pt. I take a second drum, cut both ends off and slit down one side and drape it over the end of the first on the steering wheel and over the hood. It covers the instrument panel and enought of the back of the engine to cover the starter. They are free enough from the tractor to allow air circulation to avoid moisture build up. The second thing I tried it to string a steel cable, a thick rope would also work, between two trees about 12 to 15 feet above the ground and drape a plastic tarp over the cable. Spread the side apart and park the tractor in the "A". With the ends open there is no moisture build up and the "A" sheds snow well. It may not be good for the trees but they will have to come out if I ever get to build a shed. I hope this is helpful. =
