BEST way to mount 3 point implement: BX2360

All of my implements are on dollies and the garage floor is very smooth. Most of the implements can be pushed with a finger or two. Even the backhoe can be pushed with one hand. Alignment is a breeze and coupling a snap.

Can you post another picture of your dollies and garage for those that haven't seen it? I'd like to also see it again.
Tom is the undisputed KING of space saving and storing of tractor implements, in my opinion.:thumbsup:

I pin the 3 point arms as wide open as possible and lowered almost all the way. Then back up to your implement and center one arm ball with the implement pin. I then get off the tractor, unpin that arm and lift the arm to the implement pin. If your tractor has the arm extender adjustment use that, too. Then do the other side the same way. I keep a small pry bar with me to help with unhooking an implement, also. I just pry the ball from the implement pin.

The idea of pinning the arms open and lowered when backing is useful because the arms will flail back and forth and you can't get the distance lined up correctly with the arms out of kelter. Keeping the arms lowered keeps you from having to get back on the tractor to reposition the arm since it was too high and not lined up. It's just easier to manually pick the arm up and position it. I hope this makes sense.
