Moving a Behemoth

[HRTKD]

What I would use depends on the tongue and over weight of the trailer. If it's low enough, my 2013 Polaris Ranger 900XP might do it. I've used it to move very heavy single axle diesel generators down dirt roads. The Ranger certainly isn't rated for that much weight, but it did it with no evidence that the belt was burning up.

If you can find someone with a full size Bronco or Blazer with a receiver hitch on the front, that could also work. A large enough lawn tractor could also work.

Has this thread not died the death it so deserves yet? It's a SOB and a woman that can't figure out how to move it. HIRE someone to do it!

The problem is that I have to fit it through a narrow driveway to get it into the yard, then move it under the power line to my house, around a curve and over some flat grass to it's final home in the back of the yard.

Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to get anyone killed, and my friends are in their 50's and 60's so there isn't much brute strength I can rally. Could we use a Bobcat or some sort of trailer dolly? thanks.

There are several walk behind, battery powered, trailer mover's that are used to move trailers in confined spaces. You might see if a local rental company has one available. Or purchase one, use it and re-sell it!

I've seen these 'rotators' do some great boom work in tight places......

A small farm tractor, like a Kubota, might work very well. Even a larger garden tractor e.g. 18 to 20 hp, might be sufficient.

I found a solution: I'm selling the big trailer and buying a small one that will fit through the driveway. I might even be able to drive it myself.

Thanks to everyone who commented.

So, for you folks who follow later with same questions and task.

Call the local rigging company. They move heavy equipment. And they move it through 8 ft hallways. They lift, drag, push, haul, rotate and locate stuff. They do it without damaging floors. They go through windows. They rig stuff into places it was never intended to go.

Crane companies sometimes have these services or would know the team that can do the job. Our best was connected to a local moving company.

Given no such folks, the next best resource is the wrecker company that knows how to retrieve expensive cars from storage. The key is to find the folks that move things without causing more damage.

But, I really do like the OP's solution. It's easier to move small, each and every time. Pat
