BX23S Backhoe Dolly Build

[David T]

Does anyone have the dimensions or a rough sketch to fabricate a dolly for the backhoe for my BX23S? Seems pretty simple in construction and I have all the material. I just want to make sure I have any critical dimensions correct.

Backhoe dolly measurements.

I have been looking at the BXpanded backhoe dolly for my BX25D and for $180, I finally decided to pull the trigger. Went to order it and found out it will be $60 shipping and handling. That kind of put me over the limit so I was wondering if anyone who has bought one could pull a tape measure...

Followed these dimensions and used pressure treated 2x4s as that's what I had on hand.

Several made from steel in that thread as well if you're going that route.

I have completed the BX23S Backhoe Dolly and have posted pictures with my drawing. Works great. Used 1-1/2" 304 SST Square tube as this what I had. (I work for a great SST piping fabricator who donates to my cause occasionally) Used 3" HD Wheels with overall height of 4.3". Mower Deck dolly is next.
