I did another video building a backhoe dolly for my backhoe when detached out of an engine stand. LS MT125 Subcompact Tractor Backhoe Dolly (GC1720) - YouTube

Great design and video to document, looks like I've a new winter project. I'd been pondering a way to do this, now I know a good one. And, I've just happen to have an un-used engine stand in the shop gathering dust and in the way, I'll put it to good use.

Thanks

You are welcome. Be careful when you set it down. That is the only hairy part. Thank you watching.

Any thought to putting a strap on it to 'lift' it into place prior to setting the hoe - that way it would be attached at landing on the ground, seems a prudent approach?

Not a bad idea! It is not that heavy. I may look into that. Thank you.

Again, an awesome video! I also have an unused engine stand that will be repurposed. You make it all easy. What color blue paint did you use? TSC has "ford blue" and "ford / new holland blue", I wasn't sure which one is a better match.

I used the New Holland blue. It is not a great match, but OK for this. Thank you for watching.
