Anchor for my backhoe

[KiotiKevin]

Hi Guys,
I am thinking about getting someone to make me a sort of jig made of steel framing to sit my backhoe on. For 10 years I have backed my Kioti CK25 into the back of the garage drop my backhoe on a trolly and tie a couple of chains to the framing studs on the back wall and pull away, well I now have a New NX4510 and it wouldn't slide off that easy, pulled a stud. I was thinking of putting a couple of anchor loops in the concrete floor but wondering if I could frame up a jig of some sort of angle iron and bolt it to the floor to act as a stop to slide my backhoe on as well as an anchor to pull it off. Any ideas for design and would the 5" concrete handle it. Thanks
Kevin

Why do you need an anchor? When I take my backhoe off I use the stabilizers to lift it off the subframe. Then I pull the tractor up about 6 inches. Next, I put a 6x6 block under the subframe and lower it down on it and lift up the stabilizers. I put a ratchet strap across the stabilizers so they don't leak down.

I only use it 2 or 3 times a year. I'm not that talented in maneuvering the hoe in a tight place. Thanks for your input.

If you are in a real tight place my method would be a problem. I have to temporarily put down both stabilizers.

See attached pics. I tried to put the feet down but there is not enough grip for it to slide off the frame. See what I mean about the possibility of a cradle of some sort bolted to the floor and when I go to load it on it is a task to line up because I can't push into it. I'm wide open for any ideas from anyone. Thanks

Yea, that is not how my backhoe is. My subframe stays attached to the tractor and the backhoe drops right off behind the rear wheels. I would build a cart that supports it somewhere around the stabilizers and the end of the subframe. If you plan on leaving the boom off to the side you will need a fifth wheel to support it.

I just read your other thread. If I understand correctly you need something to anchor it to to pull the backhoe off not support it. I would get a steel plate about 12 inches square and weld chain hook on it. Then drill a hole in each corner, and use a concrete bolt in each corner to bolt it down. A beefed up version of this is what I had in mind. I would offer to build it for you, but since you are in Canada shipping would be cost prohibitive.

Or build an effective dolly on wheels?

Thanks I really appreciate the offer. I guess this will be my winter project I'll have to be creative I guess. I've never drilled into concrete to anchor anything, any tips/steps with adhesive etc. for the bolts. thanks again.

Neat I like it, but I think I need something fixed to handle some push and pull. Thanks
