We parked our tractors outside in S. Dak. all the time, but we used them often, so they were out in the elements anyway. In the winter we tried to put them in a shed so they would start if we needed them. Mostly they only got sun damage, but it took years for that to happen. Any cab would protect the cockpit area from rain, snow. Long exposure to rain snow would accelerate tendences for rust to start in some areas of the tractor, again it would take years for that to happen. Mostly cosmetic. If you want to keep a pretty tractor build a leanto next to the Barn and park it under that. Tractors were built to be outside, should not affect maintenance, except maybe more greasing of the exposed moving parts.
