STORING ATTACHMENTS

[sodamo]

I agree on pallet racks.

I found a crank up lift similar to this one on craigslist.

Mine is rated for 650 lbs. to 16' high.

My friend, Wylee has something very similar by Genie. He replaced the hand crank with a 12vdc HF winch. We both used it building our houses - man what a tool. I've used it to place 21 ft 6X16s and 24 ft 4X10s and 4x12s.

Sorry to cause additional pain and anguish believe me it was just the evil side getting loose.

:laughing: Oh, I don't mind the additional ideas/projects coming to mind... That's the fun of TBN. I've (hopefully) got years of retired life to 'get around to it'.

It gives me something more to wake up to in the morning.

Mine sit outside - each on its own oak pallet. I have neither garage or carport space for all attachments. The only disadvantage of outside storage - IMHO - is faded paint. Neighbor stores all his in a garage and is always shuffling them around to get to the one he wants.

Individual racks made out of 4x4s or landscape timbers and good castors. You need 6" ones if you have anything but concrete or blacktop.It makes hooking up things an easy one man job.

I bought several heavy duty plastic pallets at a school surplus auction a few years back. They were used to transport roof top AC units. I got lucky and paid three dollars apiece. They support even my heavy BH.

Post some pictures of these if you can please.

That's how I made mine the second time around. With the Land Pride Quick Hitch and moveable implements even my 105 lb wifey can put on the heaviest of implements on.

3 dollars ea. I'd say you did darn good. I've been looking for plastic pallets around my area, but come up short. Northern Tool carries them, but I'm not going to pay those prices - even if they do come in tractor colors. Ugh! plastic pallet from Northern Tool + Equipment

Here is few photos of my set-up, it works. Stay away from the HF light duty caster, the heavy duty caster might be a better choice. The light duty caster are very difficult to move around.

My wood splitter, chipper, York rake, box scraper and backhoe are all on custom built rolling dollies with weight proportioned caster wheels.
