I usually place my backhoe in my pole barn when I take it off and it is placed on a concrete floor. I place the hoe on furniture dollies so when I load it back on the tractor I can actually roll the frame and hoe precisely beneath the tractor in proper alignment. As soon as I back over subframe close enough to hook up hoses for hydraulic I block the outrigger pads and bucket and boom transferring weight to pads on outrigger and bucket. I do this because I want the frame to stay put and not roll dollies because the wheels are very small. Those dollies come from Lowes or Home Depot and cost about $20.00 each. They are rated at 1000 lbs each and I sheet them up on top with a piece of 3/4 plywood or hardwood lumber. It is best to place the dollies beneath outrigger hinge pin next to frame so it does not settle over time. An alternative is to use something like 3/8's plywood as wheel blocks to ****** rolling the hoe away on the dollies from an attachment so unit can be pinned in final position. Works for me but practise makes perfect.
