BX 25 Backhoe dolly

[check 6]

Tried to post this earlier but for some unknown reason it did not appear.

With the recent rain in our area (YEA after a long dry spell) the weeds have come out. It was time to take the backhoe off and put the Belton sprayer on to attack the broad-leaf weeds. This gave me the first opportunity to try my BX expanded backhoe dolly. Wow, it was easy to take the backhoe off and with this well built and simple dolly to then move the backhoe to a safe and out of the way. Great and low cost addition to the stable

Can you post a photo or two, so we know what it looks like?

Here's what I did to store my JD 48 hoe. My dolly setup worked out great. I discussed it in a bit more detail, with more photos in the following thread:

I see that you have also tied up the legs in the same way as I have .
You used a piece of rope and I used an older 1" red strap.
I also have my JD 6'6" hoe on a steel roll dolly that has 6" steel wheels.
It is still hard to push around.

When I get a BH I'll be doing something like this. Never thought of it before I'd seen it done here on TBN but it is a really good idea:thumbsup:

Yea first time I have seen this great idea. Is it stable with the legs ties up?

I just looked at the website. That looks like a nice setup!

Yes. The frame sits solidly on the dolly. My son got me a replacement for the backhoe seat at Christmas. (The old one was ripped.) After changing seats, I climbed on a couple of times to try the new seat. I weigh in excess of 235 lb and there was no sign of instability. The dolly is sitting on a concrete floor.

I am trying to use a minimum of garage space to store the hoe. My stabilizer tend to leak down when unused for a while. So, I tied the stabilizers up.
