Removing both FEL and Box Blade while in Garage?

[JayOrange]

So, tractor is currently in a space of ~ 1 car. I'm not sure the best way to remove and store the FEL and box blade. I want to leave just my MMM on for mowing.

I can take the FEL off where the tractor sits. I could always easier drive back up to it to reattach.

However, what about the box blade? The thing is pretty damn heavy. I can't take it off where the tractor sits and then move it. Unless I lay it onto a dolly perhaps? Would that be the best approach?

Or should I try to reverse and turn to remove box blade off to the side? Then pull back forward and reverse straight out of garage now that the box blade is out of the way? This seems like a PITA though.

What is the recommended approached here?

You can back in and drop the box. I drop it on 2x8".
And then get a fel dolly.

Or if you can make one.

below is a link to a search for "Dolly" in the Fabrication forum. Ton of ideas there. Link wont be valid for too long but you can just go to Fabrication forum and search for Dolly when that link ID expires.

Without buying or making something, try this.

Reverse into the garage and take off the box blade. Then come in forward, using the loader to move the box blade to its storage place. Then remove the loader.

If you have enough room you could back straight in and drop the box blade. Then turn around and drop the fel. Anytime you have the box blade on you will probably want the fel on for a counterbalance and possibly for some touch-up grading with the bucket. If you are doing heavy work with the fel, the box blade will make a good balance weight for the fel. Keeping both easily available can be a plus, but at least I would want the fel more accessible.

Put them on mover's dollies, they are pretty inexpensive from harbor freight and northern tool. You may need 3 of them for the FEL, they are made of wood so it's pretty easy to modify them to your needs.

With limited covered space I would just leave the box blade outside. As long as PTO and hydraulic powered implements are covered I'm happy.
