Im working on this now. I will upload my big box store supply list as well as a description of the build.

Does everyone have outbuildings with concrete floors today? It's been almost 50 years but the family farm I grew up on had dirt floors for trailers and implements. The dairy barn, mechanic, welding, and feed storage areas were the only ones with nice floors. Pretty much everything I remember was parked only one deep for ready access.

Does everyone have too many toys? Or, too little land and building? I have been out of action for too long.

Been trying to get a url to post but can't get it to work. Anyway, the place to get great deals on castors: fastlaneusastore. I have made implement dollies using their 5" castors. Set of 4, 2 swivel, 2 stationary for $23 shipped through their eBay store. They worked great for my BH dolly, rolls real easy.

i didn't find that it made implements easier to move on either on gravel or concrete.

Right now I need mine in the garage for security. I am not always on site. Not that it is easy to steal tractor implements....but I dont want to make it easy.

If I have room on concrete...I will leave them there. My goal is to build a lean-to on the side and use it for all implements...that way I can drive up and hook up.

Here is what I used. From Home Depot:

3" steel wheel casters 300 lb each.
5/16 carriage bolts at 3.5"
5/16 nuts and locking washers.
2x6 lumber

I may end up adding plywood to the top, we will see.

The largest dolly is for my Grapple (920#) ..it is 6 wheels. The "T" shaped one is for my rear blade (700 #). The smallest one is for whichever of the bucket or PFs are not on the tractor. I know...pallet forks really? Probably didn't even need the last one, but thought it might have other uses as well.

I used the 4 carriage bolts to secure each caster. I had to cut a few of them to ensure the wheel rotated fully.

I am considering one for my Backhoe, but at 2200# it seems a bit much to have to wheel around. We will see how it goes over the next year.
