I recently bought the Heavyhitch mower deck dolly. It is well-constructed and feels stable. I bought this product not only for the storage versatility but also to provide a way to safely and easily change my mower blades and power wash the bottom of my deck. The deck arrived without assembly instructions or directions on how to get them. After a phone call, the company directed me to the website.
I, too, have the loader dolly, and I added the change he made for the parking stand for the newer loaders. You would need to drill two holes. It keeps the wheels from moving off the stand.
I am very happy with my Mudds. I use them for my X738 60HC deck. I sling the deck before I back off and pick it up with forks on my 2025R. I recently bought the loader dolly. It's still in the box. They offer 2 kick stand wheels. One for bent kick stand like yours and one for straight bottom. I called to confirm which one I needed. That bucket looks like something I need to pickup sea weed on the beach or right now leaves washing in.
I love the deck storage idea. I wish I had something like this for my garden tractors deck. I've got 2 actually a Cub Cadet 2206 for mowing then the Case 222 (modified) as my snow and dirt mover as well as everything else machine. I still think the deck storage idea is super cool!
lol, thanks Tim, I learned something today I had no idea of... I didn't know the loader will lock in the up position when removing it from the tractor. Been watching videos for two years and never saw that demonstrated or even mentioned.
A lot of us do not have indoor storage capabilities. I have to store all implements outside. I can store mine up next to a shed to protect they as best as possible.
Those are pretty slick additions👍, sadly due to space I'll have to leave my FEL on or store outside, I also have a neighbor that has "carts" made that when he removes an implement it goes on a cart, which is then stored in a rack similar to what you'd find in a warehouse, it is very slick, and he will store his tiller, box, scraper, bucket....well pretty much everything but his rotary cutter, neat place and setup👍
Another thing that I like about these pieces sitting on wheels is they aren't touching the ground to rust. Having said that I'm a tight wad that goes to the scrap metal yard for material and make my own usually for 1/4 the price. I have orange paint but no room for green! lol Just kidding a brother in the Lord. Bless Y'all and thank you for the videos.
xmas ideas for your video I don't remember seeing in past years and think are good...... use them if you want. - oil spill pads for mess prevention or cleanup - maintenance log never hurts to start a log book.... - cordless work light most cordless battery tool platforms have not only flashlight-style lights but also area floodlights to help you work on your tractor in the dark.... most people don't realize that there are more than just drills that run off your battery.... heck most platforms have fans and air compressors. - 12vt marine Bluetooth speakers no radio on your tractor? even open station..... waterproof Bluetooth marine speakers might help... if you have music downloaded to your phone or stream your favorite station or better yet play TTWT videos on your phone once connected they will play your audio at the volume you control on your phone...... add a phone mount and charger and it will likely be cheaper than setting up a full radio snd speakers. Please don't take me wrong... just trying to help where I know you usually make gift videos with your daughter..... and by all means Tim or Christy you won't hurt my feelings if you think you need to remove this..... just hope it's helpful and not hinder. another thing to point out and this is! I'm not sure about apple but the Android platform has a Parker fitting and size guide app. Each brand of hydraulic fitting may differ a bit but everything is similar enough to help you size and get the right hydraulic fittings locally........ I would recommend getting a cheap caliper measuring gauge to assist in sizing. now speaking of hoses.... cangeing hoses can be messy..... - hydraulic hose rubber plugs keep oil mess or component contamination down with rubber plugs just push in and turn at the same time. PS... searching underlined words on Amazon and everything should come up
Love the video's, great to see you back fit and well again, I've been thinking with coming into autumn/ winter and about the job of clearing up fallen leaves, I've seen there is alot of mini round balers coming onto the market either 3 point mounted or drawbar or even powered by a BCS 2 wheel tractor, my thought and idea for you Tim is how do these deal with fallen leaves? And are the mini rakes any good to use in leaves to make windrows
Please show the 72 inch deck with the antiscalping fix from deere, I noticed the ski on it in this video. Also thanks for the tip about not putting pressure on the wheels of the loader dollies. I put too much pressure on mine and bent the wheels enough so that all the ball bearing fell out. I call the deck dollie guy and he would not fix or replace mine. I went to harbor freight and bought better wheels.
I'd like to know the width of the dolly to see if I have enough room for one. I know the length of the mower won't be a problem but was concerned about the width. It looks to be around 20 inches.
I bought the deck dolly trying to save a few dollars and I instantly regretted it... I had to buy the drive over mounts and the mudds solution. I can't even sell the dolly, I've tried... It's just this big awkward green thing taking up space in my garage.
May I ask why you regret purchasing a deck dolly? I have the 54D deck for our 1025R and I did not get the load and go brackets so I think the Deck Dolly would be perfect as a mobile solution and to store the deck upright or to clean it.
On green tractor talk forum, you can find pictures of people bolting on a prefab JDQA plate onto the flat drive over ramps to make a load n go system. Its really simple and affordable.
All great storage items but I store my mower deck in the vertical position and put it into a corner. for the loader, I'm still old school and I use 2 Funiture dollies to carry the load.
I'm sure I would enjoy the stability but that requires space, which I am very short on. Were all doing great here, hope your all too.@@TractorTimewithTim
Tim, I looked all over the Heavy Hitch website using your url shortcut but could not find the Deck Cart. Where are they and how much? Thanks, love your videos.
Great video Tim! I am now curious if you were one that got HH to change there dolly description to include the 72”. A month ago I called them asked if it would work on a 72” They told me no it would not work, about a week or two ago their website changed and now says it does work with the 72” . I called and confirmed the change or compatibility. Lol I received mine last week for my 72” deck.
Would the deck dolly work better without a bucket installed? I’m thinking as the bucket cylinders relax, the bucket edge will be dragging when you try to move the loader.
Question on the loader dolly Tim, when the bucket creeps down over time the edge of it will eventually make contact with the floor. Does it hinder rolling it around?
does a lift kit for a mid mount mower just lift the deck for you while your on the tractor? how is it normally done. going to buy a mid mount mower today and during my research i've found some with lift kits, i see on the regular kit there is a handle i assume thats how you make the deck go up and down? mines a 4210, so its not the quick attach kind
Deck Dolly sells two versions of the Loader Dolly - one is straight and one is curved. Which version do you have on your 120R loader, TTWT? I’m taking delivery of a new 1025R, this week, so I’m new to all of this!
Wonder if this would work with a finish mower? Given the provisions of the wheel spindle adjustable coupling system/do hickie. Don't know what else to call it.
I watched this as soon as you posted it, but came back to it to check pin fit of the Load-N-Go Ramps. I just installed mine Saturday. The pins do not fit in the front loader lower holes. The operator right barely starts. I am going to loosen all the bolts of the 2 sides when I have the Deck hanging next to see if I can adjust the alignment of the pins enough to get them to drop in. I still was able to get the deck on my new Heavy Hitch Dolly with no problems. Did you run into a pin misalignment other than not getting them to insert fully due to the welds? Thanks.
@TractorTimewithTim that's no good. I would order the whole thing as soon as it's available! I feel like Deere missed out on making that option not available on them from factory. Thank you Tim for the awsome content as always!
Maybe if these companies made better coatings, no fade, and no Tonka Toy paint peeling. You should be able to keep the deck outside. All that money for a " JUNKY LOW QUALITY PAINT JOB", buy used, and paint everything rusty brown, kinda like all the manufacturers are painting their power units(engine,trans, and rear) matte black to hide oil and fuel leaks, why try to fight mother nature HAHA🧐
@@TractorTimewithTim well that was "ORIGINAL" l was being sarcastic , sorry if l hurt your feelings, l own one of these very expensive machines, should be able to handle the elements this day an age, PS I'm fortunate to keep my equipment in a garage. Whew😠

It seems that storage space is always at a premium. Options to conserve space and help with organization are really helpful. Blessings.

Nifty storage systems for the mower deck and loader. These will certainly save space in the shop.
Thanks Tim, just purchased the mower deck dolly from Heavy Hitch! An Awesome piece of equipment! Thanks for sharing your ideas and faith!
Congratulations! Yep, typical of Heavy Hitch quality!
Mower deck storage looks great and I bet it'd work for the big 47 and 54 snowblower for summer storage with the plywood idea.
We showed snowblower photos…don’t even need the plywood!
I musta missed it getting coffee. Gonna rewatch video 😊
Loader dolly looks good. No matter where you set something a couple days later it's in the way
Exactly!
I, too, have the loader dolly, and I added the change he made for the parking stand for the newer loaders. You would need to drill two holes. It keeps the wheels from moving off the stand.
Nice storage and mobility options. Everyone can use multiple styles of grapples
Tim, I have always hit the like button from day one and am a Sub. as well. And why not your channel is A number one in my book..
Thanks very much!
I just picked up a Deck Dolly for my 54A deck; it's a really well made product!
You could put a piece of plywood on that stand and put your power flow and tube for the bagger on their. Seems super handy to have!

I doubt anyone currently make one for my old 72 Deere deck. But thanks to Tony for idea to make some stands myself.
As long as the gauge wheel holes are same size, it should work.
I got my Heavy Hitch mower deck stand last month. Works nice.
Pretty cool storage products! Somebody did some thinking.
I'm also a big fan of shelving to take advantage of wall height.
I love the deck storage idea. I wish I had something like this for my garden tractors deck. I've got 2 actually a Cub Cadet 2206 for mowing then the Case 222 (modified) as my snow and dirt mover as well as everything else machine.

Glad you are getting support! Love your content.
lol, thanks Tim, I learned something today I had no idea of... I didn't know the loader will lock in the up position when removing it from the tractor. Been watching videos for two years and never saw that demonstrated or even mentioned.
So looking at the tractor last night... it occurred to me, how do you unlock the loader from the fully up position when reinstalling it?
Thanks for showing us all this
A lot of us do not have indoor storage capabilities. I have to store all implements outside. I can store mine up next to a shed to protect they as best as possible.
I really like the idea. I would love something for my Deere brush hog. It takes up so much horizontal space. I was wrestling with it today.
Those are AWESOME ideas!!! They would make a great gift. Only problem is, I need a bigger building. 😆. I have never had my loader off my 1025R.
Love all information thank you
Great video!

Unfortunately, none of this is available for Kubota or other brands. The load n go concept is difficult for them due to ssqa design.
@@TractorTimewithTim It doesn't seem like a difficult project for the shop on a cold winter day. Maybe a little hot chocolate... I can see it now.
Awesome!!!
xmas ideas for your video I don't remember seeing in past years and think are good...... use them if you want.
- oil spill pads
for mess prevention or cleanup
- maintenance log
never hurts to start a log book....
- cordless work light
most cordless battery tool platforms have not only flashlight-style lights but also area floodlights to help you work on your tractor in the dark.... most people don't realize that there are more than just drills that run off your battery.... heck most platforms have fans and air compressors.
- 12vt marine Bluetooth speakers
no radio on your tractor? even open station..... waterproof Bluetooth marine speakers might help... if you have music downloaded to your phone or stream your favorite station or better yet play TTWT videos on your phone once connected they will play your audio at the volume you control on your phone...... add a phone mount and charger and it will likely be cheaper than setting up a full radio snd speakers.

Deck Dolly now has a bracket that you add to your deck dolly that allows you to pickup the mower deck with your front end loader.
Cool! I’ll get one to show!
Just be careful! I did this last winter and all my gearbox oil drained out!!! Make sure to check oil level before use again!!
Mentioned in the video.
Also, you can remove the vent and put in an 1/8” pipe plug during storage if you are concerned.

I really enjoy the videos. I was hoping for a shot of the pond. Does it have much water in it yet? keep up the great work.
Coming Wednesday
I'd like to know the width of the dolly to see if I have enough room for one. I know the length of the mower won't be a problem but was concerned about the width. It looks to be around 20 inches.

I’ve been wondering when someone would build a firewood bucket like the one Mike Morgan has . Except for 1025R.
What is a firewood bucket? Same as rock bucket?
@@TractorTimewithTim similar, but larger capacity and not quite as heavy gauge. Think snow bucket vs dirt bucket.
Would the deck dolly work better without a bucket installed? I’m thinking as the bucket cylinders relax, the bucket edge will be dragging when you try to move the loader.
Ha! We showed it without bucket the first time (last year’s gift guide episode), and all the questions were “does it work with bucket installed?”

Likely won’t creep down when unplugged from tractor.
I don't like storing upright because i don't like putting the gear box seal is likely to leak oil. What's your thoughts about that
You can temporarily replace with 1/8” pipe plug for storage

You may want to stop plugging muds custom. They never have anything in stock or available and their most recent stand is laughably expensive.
Hence the need for a 'second source' for the deck stands. We are aware of the availability issues.
This works great until all the gearbox oil runs out the breather and all over your shed floor
Drain the gear box refill it in the spring
Temporarily replace with 1/8” pipe plug for storage.
