I finally bought one, now that I have a concrete floor and not mud. As always, BXExpanded shipped quickly and complete. I have the underbelly pan, quick on forks and now this dolly. I wanted a PDF file of the instructions, emailed and withing the hour, got a pdf file. Kudos BXExpanded!
The BH was off my tractor, sitting on some 6"X6" blocking. To get it on the dolly, I had to put it on the tractor. No biggie, right? No, if you can screw up, I can do it better! Confidence.
I could not get the tractor and the lower pins to mate. However, I succeeded in knocking the blocks, resulting the the BH falling, the control levers bumping the seat and fully extending boom, tilting the BH. I was sca-rewed! Hydraulic lines.... Yikes!!!! No way to relieve pressure in the lines, I had to get the BH righted.
Tried a Jack. Nope Panicking.Then I thought about the steel beam (engineered to lift 10,000 pounds) in my shop, a trolley on it and the come-a-long (half ton?) Hmmmmmm.... Grabbed a sling, and clicked the come-a-long. It righted the BH. This was great! I was not under the beam but about 6' to one side so as I lifted, the BH moved. I was panicking again! But The Gods of Fools watched over me and all was OK.
BH now sitting correct, I was able to get it lined up and the pins in. Phew!!!
Read the BXExpanded instructions 50 times and easily got the BH set on the dolly right. Easily rolled it to a corner of the shop.
I only put the trolley on this beam because it was there. Hung a come-a-long on it because I had it already, used long ago for garden/tree slinging. I never really thought I'd be using the beam, it was designed in to eliminate any posts and allow huge second floor loading.
