Just another backhoe dolly

[selftot]

Finally built a dolly for my BH75.
I used ideas from other people and made use of some rough cut yellow cedar 2x10 i had.
Bucket platform is 21" wide. Stabilizer arm platform is 30" wide. "Rails" are 60" long.
I left a 12" gap down the middle for the boom to dangle down.
4" casters are rated for 700lb each.

I put the casters directly under the points where the weight of the backhoe sits.

I was going to adjust height after its built so i can back the dolly right into the frame receiver with hooking up hydraulics. But it turned out to work just right at the current height of 7-1/4"

I like it,

Simple, yet effective.


Those boards look to be very “square”,…

Did you saw them yourself?

They were milled at the cut block by a pro.
I shaved off a tiny bit with a planer.

There's nothing like having a backhoe dolly, you would think Kubota would sell them. I remember the first time I connected the backhoe on my L3901DT after I got the backhoe. It took me a couple tries to get lined up, of course I had to shut the tractor off to disconnect the backhoe from the tractor so I could adjust the tractor. That's when I decided I needed a dolly.
