I removed my backhoe per the instructions the other day. Is it normal that the stabilizer arms sink down after its been off for a few days? I looked at it after a few days and the front was sitting on the ground, as opposed to off the ground by arms and bucket. Did I mess something up?

perfectly normal. I usually stuff a pallet or something under it if it's going to be off for very long, helps keep it from drifting down so far that it's hard to get the lines hooked back up.

I lower mine all the way with the stabilizer pads up. Is this incorrect storage?
I'll probably be getting a dolly for it this year before winter.

As long as you can get "hooked" back to it .....and it will not turn over - seems fine!

Ok. Yeah, I've never had a problem. Hook the hydraulics up, lower the stabilizers to lift the unit and back on in. Easy peezy.
Yeah....about that white stuff. I hope we're done with that for awhile. [emoji41]

Get a couple inexpensive Harbor Freight furniture Dolly***8217;s and a piece of plywood and make a low raised rolling stand. Once the BH is on the stand, lift the legs and tie them together so they do not go down over time. It***8217;s easy to roll around when you remove it.

A dolly is the way to go. I also made a dolly out of plywood and caster very similar to the same shape as the BXpanded steel dolly. Works just fine and I tie the two stabilizers together so they don't drift down. Easy to roll the whole thing out of the way if you have a decent floor.
