BX BH dolly project.

[stuarth]

That's for the info on the casters. I went to Tractor Farm and Supply and about fell over at the cost of the casters and did not buy them. I came home and looked on the web. found some 300lb for $10 each with 4" wheel. Anyone else have any other ideas or the rating please let me know. The wood is cut and the bolts are purchased already.

I got my casters from northern tool #189341. The only issue I had with the setup was I didn't bolt the 2x4's into the 2x12's far enough towards the middle and broke the 2x12's when I was putting pressure on them when loading it. Going to have to replace the 2x12's and use more bolts!!

bobzap, I bought a dolly exactly like Volfandt's at Harbor FReight though it's much smaller. Actually I had to buy two and space them to 60" with some leftover decking to accomodate my Landpride tiller approx. 500#. The dollies are sold as furniture movers and are rated at approx 600 to 800lbs. Harbor Freight had dollies somewhat larger made of angle. H.F. also carry a good selection of wheels. After buying Larry's mower axles I want all my attachments on dollies. Good luck !!!

Looking at options for a dolly. Does anyone know what the BX24 BH weighs? Thanks!

Can't remember where I read it, but I think it's around 660 lbs.

P.S. -just found it on last page of the marketing brochure... 617 lbs.

Here's a picture of my doly for my BH65, a friend of mine built it for me.

Thanks for the answers....still waiting on my op manual, so didn't have any specs other than what I could find on Google.

OK, I checked on Kubota's site and they list it at 617 lbs for the BX25 BH...

Here's a link to a build I did for a bh65 dolly. I just used casters from Home Depot and it works fine, even under the extreme pressure of putting the BH on and off the tractor. My BH according to kubota weighs 1400 lbs w/ the subframe.
