Storage footprint of BH70 BH77

[B737]

Can any of you with a BH70 or BH77 that is in storage, on a dolly, measure the footprint of this unit as it relates to consuming space?

I would love to buy a backhoe but I do not want to store it outside. Before I take the plunge I'd like to earmark a space for it either in the garage or tractor building. I really need to build a detached shop but that is prob 5-10 years out.

I have a BH65 on my B2620 its probably about the same size. Here is a quick vidie of it on a dolly.

I will have to go measure it but as I recall its about 5' wide by about 5' long or something like that,. I measure it and repost in a little bit.

Marrmanu, that is very helpful, 5x5 is a good starting point for me! thank you, and that dolly is awesome btw

Kevin,

Not sure if this helps. Mine in it's "resting state" without the boom locked.

Rough measurements 53" wide (at stabilizers) by 87" long (not fully retracted) by 64" high at boom/dipper joint.

BH65 all folded up 5' wide 6' long

yeesh 850 # PLUS bucket weight...makes for an interesting real life 'Tetris' game for fitting stuff juuuuust right !
