If you have any trees spaced about 15 or 20 feet apart, you can string a 1/2" line (rope) tight between the two trees about 8-10 feet off the ground and then lay good 16x20 tarp (the silver ones from HF are pretty durable) over the rope to form a tent. Set it up so the 20 foot length is split over the rope to form a 10 foot long "roof" on each side and then the 16 foot length runs along the rope. I drive some stakes in the ground along the 16 foot sides of the tarp about three feet away and then connect flex cords to the tarp's grommets. Set up the position of the stakes to keep the edges of the tarp about a foot off the ground. This allows for good ventilation but will also keep the rain off. I can't say if this arrangement will hold up in snow and blizzard conditions but down here in the panhandle, it does the trick for keeping a tractor dry and not causing condensation on the sheet metal.
BTW, you need to secure the peak of the tarp to the tree (or 4x4 poles if you don't have trees) to keep it from creeping down the rope.

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
