I think I’ve seen something similar on here in the past, but can’t find anything. Not sure what to search for.

I’m wanting to build something that I can place my FEL bucket, grapple, etc. on when it’s not attached on the tractor and easily move it around in the garage. It would be individual pieces for each implement.

I use Harbor Freight dollies. They are cheap, and come in a variety of sizes.

As rjcorraza said, funiture dollies are the way to go. I got mine from Lowes and use 2 per implement. I then use 2x6 boards at the right spacing to support what ever implement I am making them for, and screw them down to the dollies. I store my implements in a shipping container, so all of my implements are on dollies and I use my pallet forks to set them in the container and I can then wheel them around by hand. I also made a double stacker to save room in my container. With my landscape rake being fairly light, I made a platform to stack it on top of my box blade. View attachment 32985

I have bought many of these dollies. For what you are going to do, they will work well.

I was using them to move the sheds we build in the spring of the year. Sheds weights about 2000 lbs of more. Rolling on a asphalt road about 30 feet. The shear weight and hitting a little pebble will make the wheels come apart. The wheels are basically hard rubber-plastic and cannot handle a lot of weight while rolling on something not perfectly flat.

for the cost however, tough to beat and a great buy if you use the ol' 20% coupon!

rkidd and I think alike. I plan on building a "bench" out of 4x4 & 2x6 material with storage rack underneath for the box blade & a deck on top to park my front blade on. It will be at the back end of a shipping container that will be the new Kubota cave. Got the design & all the material, just need some time to build it.
