Storage FAQ
Will it fit in a garage?
The tractor itself is 57.8 in wide and 53.2 in tall. For storage, that means the opening should be closer to 8 ft high and 10 ft wide, with about the tractor length plus attachment room of usable depth.
What size door should I check?
Do not size the door to exactly 53.2 in by 57.8 in. For this model, use about 8 ft height and 10 ft width, then allow the tractor length plus attachment room depth for the length not captured tractor length.
Do attachments change the storage size?
Yes. A tight bay should be planned around the attached setup. For this very large farm tractor, allow about 8 ft to 15 ft extra depth if gear stays on.
How much maneuvering room should I allow?
If posts, fences or parked equipment sit near the doorway, go wider than 10 ft. A 57.8 in wide tractor needs side margin when entering at any angle.
Official information note
Mistakes do happen. Tractor dimensions can change by year, tire setup, cab/ROPS setup, attachments and market. Please check the operator manual, build sheet and official deere.com website for official information.
