BX22 BH dolly

A while back, another TBN'er (GSXR1100) posted some pics and info on a dolly he built for his BX22 backhoe. Here's a side view of my version.

Here's a view from the front. I used two car dollies I bought at a Homier sale that were ridiculously cheap (I think the pair was around $30.00). Getting the BH on the dolly took a little head scratchin', but after I figured it out, was really quite simple. Take the BH off of the tractor and raise it high enough with the stabilizers to slide the dolly under it. Then pusht/tilt the boom up by hand (its not that heavy if the stabilizers aren't too high) and pivot the dolly under the bucket. Let the BH bucket down, then raise the stabilizers and presto! I can now move it anywhere I want in the garage. I was surprised at how stable the whole rig is, considering how high it sits.

You are correct all the weight, even very high, it is "a rock" on the dolly.
