Hi, gang. I need to store my implements under cover in the barn. Since it is a pole barn, I can't really maneuver the tractor inside the barn, though I can drive straight in and out easily. How is this for a solution? First, get the Pat's quick hitch set up so I can drop the implements easily without a lot of redirecting the tractor. Then, build a little dolly for each implement so I can push it around in the barn and store it that way. Is this is a workable solution? What do you think? Another option might be to add on a lean-to to the side of the barn. Thoughts? Thanks!

I have heard of others doing dollies. They seemed to like them. Don't run casters to their rate load. They are a lot harder to push.

I've started building platforms for my attachments. The 2000 lb. 12" x 18" dollies go on sale from time to time at Harbor freight for under $8.00.

You can't get just the wheels for that money and all four are the 360* type casters.

I've taken them and attached them to 3/4" plywood that's cut to size with screws. The first was for the 400 lb snowblower. Now I can move it all around the polebarn with ease.

For the 60" mower deck I just put a dolly under each end with the same result.

Next I'll fabricate something for the BH6000 backhoe.

maybee take pallets and then a boom pole and use the boom pole to crane the implements onto the palates.. ( add wheels to the palates? )

Thats a very good idea! I have about 24 rollaway toolchests in my business that are mounted on my service trucks. Therefore I have about 96 heavy duty caster wheels and plenty of good pallets so this is cheap solution for me.

You didn't mention what your floor surface is. If it is concrete then dolly wheels will work. I use HF wheels on my Backhoe, wood chipper, landscape rake and wood splitter dollies. Just be sure and don't build the platform too tall as to interfer with the attach/removal process.

I am envious of your concrete pads. My equipment is in an old dirt floored tobacco barn. Where I unhitch it is where it sits.

Geezzz!! Nickle Plate's shed is cleaner then my house!

I picked up a refrigerator dolly for my Ballast Box. About $15 from Harbor Freight and rated to about 1000 lbs. Works great.
