Yes dollies are the way to go. I just made one for my bh77 backhoe from your great idea. I made mine out of steel tubing. Thanks for the idea I love it. Keep up the good ideas.
I’ve been doing this for a while w dollies from harbor freight. It makes things easier. Glad to see others doing it. Thanks for your videos. I’ve learned from you!
I'm a recent new tractor owner and I love DIY stuff on everything I own. I think its the idea of creating something as well as saving money. I have watched most of your videos in the past couple of weeks and even made my carry all this past weekend and don't even have my tractor yet hopefully this week. I plan to have all my attachments on dolly's as well. I notice a struggle of lining up the dolly under the blade and see one thing it may make it easier. when I do mine i will place 2 of those fiberglass driveway marker sticks on either side of the dolly about 1/2" wider than blade. this will aid lining up the dolly with out guessing. keep up the great video's and thanks again
Congratulations on becoming a new tractor owner! I’ve had so much fun and gotten so much done on mine and I hope you do too. That’s a good idea to add dolly guide sticks! Thanks for watching!
Another terrific DIY video, Martin. As so many others have shared, your videos are very informative, well documented and nicely edited. Thanks for the effort you put into them! I’ve learned a lot. Congratulations to on hitting the 10,000 subscriber mark. There are obviously a lot of discriminating viewers out there.
Morning Martin. A great idea - makes it so much easier to store and load your attachments. Thanks for showing the difference the extra large castors make . Have a great weekend!
Good morning, Gord! Yes, the set of higher quality casters makes ALL the difference in terms of ease of movement. Hope you have a great weekend too! Cheers!
We put implements for our smaller tractor on dollies as well. Makes it easier to store them in the shop out of the way which is convenient for the larger equipment that takes up space and needs tractors to move it.
Martin, I know I said it before but you are really good at instructional videos! The dollies are a great idea for your equipment. Sure makes it easy to store them and putting them on the tractor. Have a good weekend! See ya!
Good evening Sir 😊 Great subliminal message 🤣 Love that sence of humor 😉 Great quality caster 👍😊 Yes in deed, having caster has it avantages 👍😊 and I will make them for me too very soon 👍😊 Great video Sir and great looking garage 👍😊 Cheers 👍🍻
Hi Dave! Glad you liked the subliminal message! I try to use it sparingly so it doesn’t get annoying. Looking forward to seeing you build your dollies! Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
As always Martin, a well though out and properly presented video. With my mostly old machinery, I don't use three point implements too often...a blade ever so often. But if I did, the system you describe and use with the dollies are a very good way to go no doubt !! I can't imagine having that much available concrete though...... Thank you my friend and congratulations on your continued success with your rapidly growing channel. Cracking 10,000 soon !!
Thanks, Wendell! Having a lot of concrete is essential to the dolly system. Yes, I am within spitting distance of 10K subscribers. Who da thunk it?! Thanks for the kind words of encouragement!
How's she goin'? Nice build and the dollies are the answer for storing attachments. Unfortunately I don't store my equipment on dollies because my storage area has a gravel floor. I tried dollies and they just weren't worth the effort!!! Having the concrete pad behind your beautiful shop is ideal!!! Take care!!
HI Mike! Very true that not everyone can take advantage of using dollies. I designed the shop and shed with that in mind and it has really paid off. Thanks for watching, my friend!
That is the best setup I can think of. Having the implements on dollies AND having the concrete pad extend outside the building too! I went a different way on my side. Everything on pallets, including stacked firewood (±2000lbs), and then I use a pallet jack to move stuff around. Not as convenient as casters and dollies. But a bit cheaper in the long term. I am a bit mystified about the next implement. I thought you had them all! Unless you get a root grapple! Thanks!
Hi Joe! Yes, that was the master plan and it has worked out really well. Pallets and a pallet jack make a good system too. Ha! I certainly don’t have all the implements I want yet but I’ll get them. Several cool things coming and showing up in videos in the coming months. Thanks for watching!
I like the wheels. I use furniture carts for rear attachments and inexpensive scaffolding for front attachments so I can stack 2 high and still have something underneath. I put a BORA wheel kit with plywood under my drill press. I still need to figure out something for the 3 bag material collection system and 60" deck from my mower.
Just got my first tractor in October, L3301 and I cannot wait to have all the attachments you do. Have the loader backhoe and a grader blade. I think I’ve watched all of your videos, especially before I bought the tractor. Bought the knob for the steering wheel after seeing your video, love it. Currently gathering supplies for the chain box and upgraded tool boxes.
Sounds like you have a great setup! You’ll be able to do a lot with the loader, backhoe and grader blade. So happy that my videos have been useful to you! Good luck on your chain and tool box projects!
Great build, Martin. I did the same for several of my implements. I still have several not on dollies b/c there's no flat surface for them to roll across. I do love that about your nice sized work shop. Thanks for the link for the lockable double bearing swivel wheels. They sure move smoothly. Have an enjoyable Friday and a fine upcoming weekend. Full-watch. 👍🏽🙂
Thanks, Don! Yes, the concrete floor in the shop and the concrete pad under the rear shed make for easy dolly movement and those particular casters really move easily. Have a most excellent weekend!
Hi Martin, I found your channel after a mention from GP Outdoors I think. I love it! Thanks for making these videos. Over the last week, I've watched all of them and they're pretty darn good for my PTSD therapy so keep them coming!
Nice job, Martin! I too use dollies to store and move implements around. It is a great system. I have not seen the dollies you used before, though. They look much better than what I have. I may have to change mine out! Thanks for posting. Cheers!
Thanks! High quality casters make all the difference so if you spending too much energy fighting the casters, you might want to change out one set of casters and see if it makes a big enough difference to be worth changing them all out. Cheers!
Hello Martin from CT! Always appreciate and am impressed by how meticulous you are with your projects. Right down to the level of detail in filling in screw holes with wood putty....awesome! I have built dollies for my rear snow blower and carry-all and they work great. Next dolly built will be for my wood chipper. Only wish I had more room in the barn for my other implements, and I would build more. They are sadly relegated to being placed on pallets outside under cover. I'm guessing the next implement for you may be a grader blade? Not sure you have much use for a snow blower attachment where you are, but they are awesome up here when needed....LOL. -Michael
Thanks Michael! The wood putty was to keep the old holes from compromising the strength of the new holes since they would be close together. Depending on the footprint of your wood chipper, a standard furniture dolly may work fine. That’s what my wood chipper is sitting on. A grader blade is a good guess! You’ll find out if you’re right in about 3 months. Also ruling out a shower blower is a pretty safe bet! LOL. Thanks for watching!
although moving implements is nice, for implements that go on the back of the tractor. I am planning to build a rack for most everything that goes on the front of my L3901. Grapple on the bottom, bucket above grapple, and pallet forks on top. Hope it works. To save space. I have a 60'x60' metal Barndominium! 34'x60' will be shop and garage, the rest will be home, when I get it built.
Racks are great for FEL attachments. I've seen videos of others doing that. A bardominium! I love the concept. It will be really cool to walk out of the back door of your home and directly into your shop! Best of luck with it!
That would be a great system if I had a cement floor. I store mine on pallets to keep them off the ground. I use a chain and either my loader boom or my 3 point boom pole to move stuff around. I think you have a well thought out and built system for your application. Really enjoy a lot of your ideals.... even if I can't always use them.
FYI next time fill the holes with toothpicks or small dowel rods. Fills better then putty, and if you were to drill next to the old. Its solid and keeps from the screw pushing the wood over. Same as filling a door hinge screw hole. I have filled lots with tooth picks then run the screw back into the same hole.
I use dollies, but add a cheap ratchet strap to hold it securely to the skid. Was moving a heavy backhoe attachment and the dolly stopped when it hit a seam between two pads.....the attachment slid on the skid but luckily did not tip over. Now everything is strapped down in place for moving them around. I'm getting too old to fight with things like that. It really is a good way to store cat1 attachments. Too bad I can't do the same with my cat2 & 3 farm equipment. 🤠
Martin- Since you now have access to the other side of the creek, which is wooded, I’ll guess your next implement will be a grapple. Just like all of your others great video.
I made a dolley for my box blade with a heavy duty dolley my dad bought at auction. I added 2×4 around the edges to bring it to the required length. It rolled easily with the box blade on it. But at 10" tall, I found it was too tall for my little 1025R to hook up to it. By the time the draft arms reached the pins, the top hook was tilted too far back to reach the top link. :-(
That's a bummer, Terry! Sounds like you need to stack some 2x4s on the back side of the dolly to lean it forward enough to get to the top link. Thanks for watching!
Hi Robert! That’s covered in this video: ruclips.net/video/iwUwHEs2db0/видео.html. There are links to the hardware in the video description. Thanks for watching!
This is awesome! I have been thinking about doing something like this so I can actually use my quanset hut for something other than just storing tractor and implements. The implements are definitely the hardest to store. Was wondering if you came up with something for a post hole digger
Hi Blurry Girl! Glad you like it. I don’t have a post hole digger so I haven’t had the need to make a holder for it, but there are some videos out there of folks who did. Thanks for watching!
I currently have many pieces of equipment on dollies for the very same reasons you indicated. Notthing like them. My wife asked me...."Are you finally at a point in life to now play with "dollies"?
For everything except my backhoe which has metal casters. Also on my ballast box which weighs 680 lbs, I occasionally move the dolly a bit to avoid developing a flat spot. Not a concern with the other implements.
We have dollies for everything. The only one that doesn't quite work the way we want is the dolly we use for the grapple. It just doesn't want to sit well
LOL! Those are there temporarily, but I have thought about making one to store various pieces of plywood and may still build it one day. Thanks for watching!

Hi Sam! Glad to hear you found my backhoe dolly video helpful! Thanks for watching!
Cool. I was worried I was a big baby for storing my tractor implements on dollies. Nice to see others doing the same.
It’s definitely not being a big baby. It’s being smart and efficient. The older you get, the smarter it will seem. Thanks for watching!
