Backhoe Stand

[joea99]

The Kubota B26 backhoe manual says to block under when disconnecting but not how much. It was a real pain to connect to if on the ground. Simply used some timber screws and four pieces of 4x4”, 4x6” short lumber scraps to make box frame pallet. 8” off the ground. Being screwed together the Blocks don’t slide or roll when disconnecting or connecting and supports are in the right place. Now R&R is easy, quick and safe.

The larger M59 backhoe has no problem being stored on the ground.

Can you post a picture of it? I have a B21 which is similar and found the process to be a bit dicey as I don't have a concrete slab for the purpose.

I use a wheeled backhoe dolly that I bought from bxpanded.com. Works great!

The backhoe has settled back some in the months of storage even through the lines are connected together and all valves were operated when disconnected. Important safety considerations to always be aware of with equipment such as this.
