Default Storing multiple cubs?

So I now have 9 running cub cadets--three see regular grass cutting duty, the others are basically sitting around most of the time. Every couple weeks, a go through them, starting them and letting them run a few minutes. Every couple of months, I start them, pull them out of the building, and let them run for a good 15-20 minutes. Check oil, fuel (stabilized) and then put them away. Every few months, one won't start, usually a dead battery, but sometimes a fuel or points issue. Takes a little while to fix.

What are the rest of you guys doing? Do you run them out of gas and park them for long periods? Remove the battery? Or do you keep them all in running shape? With 9 tractors, it's not THAT big of a deal, but what happens when you get to 20? 30? (not that I'm going there).

Just looking for tips on keeping them in good shape, and available for work at a moment's notice!
