I agree with Dean about hiring the job out I used to move construction equipment for a living. I used to hate loading machines I wasn't used to they all have their quirks, The time to learn that one brake grabs harder than the other or that the clutch is jerky isn't when you are half way up the ramps.We have an Mt on our farm and I move it once in a while on my trailer, it could easily fit on a rollback.A local guy with a lot of experience got killed last year loading his Ford 8n that he probably moved at least 100 times, the ramp shifted and the tractor flipped over on him and pinned him until the customer found him dead. I had a lot of close calls with backhoes and rollers slipping on the ramps, it comes with the territory . I prefer to winch equipment onto a trailer because you have much more control over it and you are usually clear of it if something goes wrong.Just my 2 cents worth ,T.J.
