DIY backhoe dolly

Why the strap over the cylinder?

Could use one for my bh92.

I finished up mine a few weeks ago.
It works 菟retty well? Larger wheels need to be installed as it is a bit tough rolling it around. As is, it is 100% better than not having one.

That looks good. Mine has to small wheels. It makes it hard to roll around if it hits the smallest item.

Same with mine from bxpanded.com. Fortunately, I store my backhoe in my garage which has a concrete floor, so all I need to do is sweep it clean before I roll it out into position to reattach it to the tractor in the spring. Which reminds me. I should probably do that this weekend.

Mine is on concrete floor also but I need to do what you are doing. I need to sweep it out before rolling it around.
I do welding projects in the front of the shop and need to clean up better when I roll it out.
I did this quick wood project but I still think one day maybe in the winter I will make a steel one.

Because I'll need to store both my CB05 backhoe and the D100 loader all winter (to make room for the front-mount snowblower and 3-point ballast box..), I got busy over the past week building dollies for both attachments. My tractor shed has a gravel floor, so only pneumatic casters will work. This meant some design considerations to accommodate the height of the casters.

The photo album at this link Attachment Dolly Build (click image for slideshow) - Google Photos reviews the build process (click the first image to start the slideshow with captions..) if interested.

Here's an image of the final results. Still not really put to the test yet, although the backhoe dolly fits nicely.. I'll need a day when I don't need to actually use the loader and backhoe to get some real testing accomplished. More results to report then. Either way, the attachments will be sitting on these over the winter.

Happy tractoring!

They look really nice! How much are you selling a pair for?

These all look great. Can I ask though, anybody buy a bxpanded dolly for the GC1710/20? Does it work for our backhoe like it does for kubota...1-2, drops right into the dolly when you retract the boom, no outriggers necessary? The fella I bought my tractor from fabbed a dolly that looks like the bxpanded, but it doesn't function like it. Still need the outriggers to raise it up and plop it down on the dolly.
