Hi, I am thinking about buying 4 1000 pound capacity car dollies so I can slide an extra tractor into the barn this winter. The floor is concrete, so no problem there. Anyone have any thoughts?? Thanks,

Steve

Steve: I use hardwood pallets and a pallet jack a lot, however it's mainly for tractor components and mounted implememts. I have pallets for each of about 15 mounted implements. I often use pallets with blocking and tie down straps for splitting tractors. I've moved such things as the entire front from clutch forward on tractors as large as IH 1066. I've moved the entire rear half of an articulated Deere on a pallet, and I've moved standing 20.8x38 tires, rims and wheels on a pallet. Most jacks are good for 6,000#, you can buy heavier but they get expensive. I can see balance may be a major problem trying to move whole tractors. I wouldn't be a bit afraid to try a Cub, 8N, Super A, etc. on a pallet, but if you get them much longer, might be best to use two guys with two jacks.

we have a set of 4 here at the shop, they are handy as heck. one guy can move a car by himself, roll it all around the shop. as long as you dont overload em, they work good. i find the steel wheel dolleys are a lot better than the composite wheels. if you want yop go high end, get a set of go-jacks, they are self lifting, you dont need to jack the vehicle up, but they are a might pricey, 250 or so a set of 2.
