Machine Sheds

Goodon machine sheds are designed to protect your farm's most important tools and investments: your machinery. Properly stored machinery depreciates less over time, as equipment is sheltered from the harsh elements of hot sun, wind, rain and snow. As a result, machinery stays in better condition over time for increased trade-in value and, equally as important, less downtime for the farmer.

According to agriculture economist Bill Givan, machine sheds are a solid investment for all types of farm operations.

"Farmers should ask themselves, 'Can I afford not to build an equipment storage shed?'" said Givan. "A 3% savings per year on stored equipment is a conservative estimate of storage benefits. Farmers can expect additional savings from reduced downtime."
"Deterioration of rubber and plastic parts due to exposure to the sun is a major contributor to breakdowns and increased maintenance time. It has been estimated that stored equipment has less than half the downtime of field-stored equipment," said Givan.

As farms grow larger and farmers use their equipment to cover more acres, a machine shed can save time and money when it comes to repairs. In season, a bright shop allows for easier repairs at all hours of the day or night, which means the farmer can get back in the field faster. An insulated shop makes it more comfortable to maintain equipment in the winter.

Often, the machine shed is the busiest centre of activity on many farms. Goodon Industries offer a wide-ranging selection of custom designed, spacious machine sheds designed for optimum use.
