I store mine with stabilizers up (strapped together so they won't drift down) with the back hoe frame (roughly under the arm pivot point) on a dolly and another dolly under the bucket. So, I can carefully move it around.

Mine is a 3PH backhoe.
I use jackstands under the points where the lower arms usually connect, putting pins through the holes in the backhoe frame.
The bucket is on the ground, or the floor of my shed during winter. The stabilizers are up and tied together to keep them in place.
Works for me. A dolly would be great, but the dirt floor in my shed is not the real even.
The only problem with doing it this way is the hoe is going to sit where you put it until you put it back on the tractor. This has never been an issue for me.

i would say a nice FLAT& hard space makes it much easyer to line up. my old tractors bh was always outside on uneven ground and it was a huge pain in the### and that was with 6ft of hyd hose to help line it up . you have the pto pump and it gives you only gives you 6inch to 1 foot to play with. mines not coming off till i have a much better
way to reinstall it. 1500 lbs is to much to mess around with j

The Best way to store backhoe is a personal opinion at best.
What's best for me, may not work for you at all.
I have a tendency to over-plan and in many cases over-build.
This is the way that we store ours
Hello Dolly!
See if it works for your needs.

Thanks PineRidge for sharing those dolly plans. That will be a project that I will need to do!
But right now I have a dirt floor like Henro does and untill I can get it concreted the dolly will have to wait.
PineRidge, there is never a problem over building only underbuilding causes problems.
I too always like to go heavy duty if at all possible with any thing I build or buy.

Willman glad to help!
Feel free to change the plans as you see fit to suit your needs.
If you do make your own dolly remember pictures posted at the TBN site are mandatory. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Your absolutely right. Everyone has their own situation to deal with; i.e. concrete, gravel, in/outside etc..
