I built a dolly just like Jaybrad's I can remove or install my BH in less than 3 minutes (timed myself)
Hey Jay, what are your measurements for the one you built for the back hoe. LxWxH . Also the sizes of lumber. The one in the pics look like 1X6 and 1x4, but my eyes or can be bad.<snip> Sort of leaning towards bxpanded, have a garage with cement floors.
Hi Ray,
I have seen his website and his dolly is nice but I want to have larger diameter tires so it will roll easily on dirt. Actually, I think Jay's dolly is nicer than the one on bxpanded, the width of Jay's would allow other uses.
I am going to work on my dolly soon, I am thinking of using a couple of front tires and wheels from my Wheel Horse tractors. I have an extra set of front tires and wheels, I think I can put a bracket (angle iron) inside the lower backhoe mount and put a piece of 3/4" round inside the angle to mount the wheels. Then I need to figure out what I am going to use for the other end of the dolly so it will turn easily. I am planning on something that I can easily move with one of my garden tractors.
I will post some pictures as soon as I start fabrication.

I have a bx so not sure exactly how your hoe is removed, but when i made my dolly for the bx, I made it so that that height of the dolly is about an inch below the hoe. So when the hoe on the bx is tilted forward it hits the dolly, it lifts the pins out of the lower slots. Thats why you dont need to use the out riggers when removing the hoe on the bx.
oh its so easy... Take a look at some videos on how to remove the hoe on the bx, if the massey is setup the same way, its real easy...That may be possible with the Massey, too, but not with me at the controls - at least not yet.
