Rear snowblower storage advice ?

[Cycledude]

Have rear 3 point blower that I’m considering building sort of a pallet with wheels to store it on during the off season when not needed. I got the idea from reading about it on Tractor by Net but would love to see some pictures of the completed project. Seems like most have used dolly’s like these from Harbor Freight Harbor Freight Tools – Quality Tools at Discount Prices Since 1977 , believe my local Tractor supply store carries the same dolly’s for about the same price. Being on wheels would make it much easier to move around on the concrete floor. So if you have ever built something like this I would be very interested to hear any tips-advice you might have. Thank you very much .

The larger diameter the wheels, the better it rolls, all else being =.
Use hardwood, or enough 2x4s.
For concrete, use a Hard tire/wheel; soft compound harder to roll.
Make it big enough; those HF ones look too small.

I have a 4 wheeled dolly for my chipper, it works fine. The blower gets greased and sits outside on a concrete pad on wood blocks until next fall.

When I got my woodmax 60" it came in a steel frame which I added 5" casters, also using same frame made one for my BH to sit on. Easy to roll around and fit up - here's a pic of the BH dolly.

I used 2 Harbor freight dollies and screwed 1x4's over the top of them to make one solid 6' dollie. Works great for my blower.

Well yesterday I removed the snowblower and stored it on concrete floor alongside a wall inside the barn same as always, a pallet with wheels would be great but I’m just not sure how to build it.

I doesn't see big sense to screw casters for all pallets you use. IMHO much better is to use pallet trolley

There is "offroad" PT version

In case you don't want to invest in such thing, you can make wheels set

I use a pallet jack from Harbor Freight. Put the blower on a pallet and move the blower around anywhere in my shop. Better than jockeying the tractor into tight areas.

I've swtched to pallet racks. It'a easier to go up as floor space is at a premium.

Ah - first you must have a hard floor. I don't have such. My blower sat on a pallet in one bay of my carport. Worked fine. Back up and drop it - back up and hook up.
