Ok, I've been researching this for 2 weeks now, and given:
1. The amount of space I have.
2. The size of the tractor.
3. Money, of course.
I've concluded that my only reasonable choice at this time is the following:
http://www.bettymills.com/shop/product/ ... 399HP.html
I've never used anything like this before.
I'm particularly concerned about snow accumulation.
Anyone here used one?
6'6"H x 6'W x 8'L
Clearance Height 6'2"
The width is 6ft (72") which I think is JUST enough to get the 48" deck in (after subtracting a few inches on each side due to the flaps in the tent).
The deck width, from left side to edge of the output chute is 61".
Height and length are more than enough.
It's only around $300 delivered, but I've never used a 'garage' like this.
Are they reasonably durable?
I really tried to find a plastic/pvc/rubbermaid type shed, but every one of them had a problem in one way or another:
1. Too expensive (close to $1000).
2. Door opening too narrow (most were under 60 inches).
3. When the door opening was wide enough, the overall width was too wide to fit it where it needs to go.
It's either this, or stick with a cover only.

I have a 10 x 20 portable garage I bought to use as an outdoor paint booth. I have NO illusions about its' ability to withstand winter storms and intend to put it in storage soon. I just finished the most important paint job tonight so it will come down soon.
I'd save my money for a real building if I wanted it to be permanent.

I called the MFR and got some specs on it. Since it's all I can realistically afford right now, I went ahead and ordered it.
I do have a 6 pc ground spike kit coming, and if needed I'll also place sand bags on the lower railing on the inside.

You know, that's a novel idea for one of these. A portable paint booth
Hey, if it don't work out, I'll have one too!
