Storing Implements/Attachments?

[Lil Foot]

This is also very cool - do you have any dimensions? I didn't see anything in the thread you linked to.

Ask and you shall receive.
But keep in mind that my B7100 implements are kinda small compared to most others- the box blade is only 41" wide, the plow is 60", so you might have to resize for your situation.

A lot of the dimensions were dictated less by the implement size, and more by the size of the materials I had on hand; but it worked out pretty well.

another possible option, it to buy used industrial racking, adjust beams to maximize storage.
Just be 100% SURE it's SECURED to floor AND ceiling.......
if you keep pallet forks on the ground, you can use them to get/put any of the other implements easily.

That is what I do.

I bought a Harbor freight scaffold on sale and the rest are on pallets with the wheel from the harbor freight dollies as they were cheaper. Everything can roll around to get to different impliments. This is a standard 8ft basement. Just for tractor and impliments.

This is pretty brilliant, didn't think about scaffolding, and the ability to move it around.

on this side of the 49th, Princess Auto has them on sale for 300 Canucks.. easy to add 'custom shelf' or 2 !

Currently Harbor Freight has them at $239 or $219 if you're a member, not sure what Gibby paid, but that seems pretty reasonable - they do only have one shelf, and I'm not sure what you'd add as a second shelf?

That is a lot of attachments, looks nice and clean. Well done, will be cool to see what it looks like when finished, keep it up!

My barn is 18 feet under the eves, I use 16 foot pallet racks and a forklift. Attachments are all on pallets.

Before everything went up in price if I remember correct, I paid $179 for the scaffold. But that was Three years ago. Can't see it but made offset pallet with wheels that hold bucket and forks. Just spin it around for which ever I am going to use.

Implement roulette....

For those of you that went the pallet route, have you used plastic pallets? They should last a lot longer, and to me, they look quite a bit nicer, but I'm unsure if they would actually support the weight of an attachment? I think one of those with some casters and the scaffolding is where my brain is headed. They're pretty cheap in the second hand market, some for less than $20.

Early on, I stored my box blade and my B670BH on couple of plastic pallets like the one below.
They showed no signs of bending or sagging after a couple years, but I had them sitting flat on the floor, no wheels under them.

Lil foot you get them from behind Wallyworld
I look at them every time I go back behind the store, I asked and they wont even give me a couple wooden ones

I did a quick search, these things can hold some SERIOUS weight - https://igps.net/resources/how-much-can-a-plastic-pallet-hold/

There's a local guy selling these for $10/each - for sure going this direction. And will grab one of those scaffolds from Harbor Freight once they're back in stock.

I got (4) of those plastic pallets from the local Frys grocery.
I usually drive around the back to avoid the traffic out front, and one day there were a whole bunch of assorted pallets- wood, plastic, steel, in several sizes, stacked all around.
I asked the guy who was out there working about them, and he said they were doing a store inventory, and he would like to get rid of some. (except the ones they paid deposits on)
He said I could have (4) good ones if I would take (4) junk ones and dispose of them.
I had a dump run planned in the near future, so I took the eight he offered.

I've been getting all my wood pallets for free, never seen a plastic one being given away. I've seen some I'd like to try for repairing the bases on some 1,000L totes.
