Storing and moving attachments

[roth2000]

So I plan to store my attachments and tractor indoors but with limited space I would need to move some of the attachments I have by hand. Any suggestions on the best way to go about it. I was thinking some sort of dolly/cart that I could set them on and then push out of the way. Looking for ideas and thanks in advance.

Dollies and carts are pretty common, but you need a solid smooth floor. They won't help on a dirt floor like in most sheds and pole buildings unless they have big wheels.

I'm considering some kind of hoist, but haven't figured out just what yet.

One thousand suggestions:

platform dolly | eBay

pallets with castors | eBay

pallets rolling | eBay

I have all (well, except my ballast roller & the drag harrow) of my FEL and 3PH implements on wheeled pallets. I made them up myself using heavy duty castors from one of our big hardware 'box stores' (as you'd call them).

My shed has a reinforced poured concrete slab floor... In the second picture there is a 'slasher' in the back, then the tiller, the 4in1 bucket followed by the fertiliser spreader. My landscape rake, also on it's wheeled pallet is also around the other side of the tractor. I just (single handedly) slide them apart and then slide them into position for hook-up. Easy-peasy.

That's awesome, prob. makes hooking up simple since you can easily maneuver the attachment...

Yep! The castors are all 360 degree rotating type for extra manoeuvrability.

Pallets are what I have in mind, but I'll have to find a way to suspend/lift them to move. I'm thinking a couple of 1 ton chainfalls since I can get them for $30 or so from HF. At least I could lift and rotate to position, and maybe swing a couple of feet.

+1 about putting attachments on dollies with 360-degree casters. And, generally speaking, the larger the diameter of the casters, the easier it is to roll the dolly and attachment. An alternative we have seen on TBN is to put attachments on pallets and store them on stout industrial-style shelving.

I wish I had a covered concrete floor - but that is not the case and never will be. SOOOO - I store anything with moving parts under cover and those things with no moving parts are out in the orchard. My tractor - grapple - chipper & rear blade are in a stall of my carport, under cover. The moldboard plow - LPGS - disk harrow - FEL bucket - ROBB are out there - all lined up - each on its own pallet.
