I was expecting to have two loaders. Pick up each side, drive truck out form under, and back my trailer under. Easy peasy.
What we did was lift the back end with the backhoe, stick a pipe under the box across the frame, roll it back until it got tippy. Then lift the front with the lil OMC, stick the too-short frame piece with a bad weld in the middle between the tables with blocking to get it high enough to clear the tires.
Since the frame piece was too short, we then had to put wood chunks under the Mansfield bar, bring the backhoe around to the side, lift the frame piece with a chain, and remove one table.
We then backed the trailer under until it hit the frame piece, set the front down on a pair of floor jacks, brought the backhoe back around to the rear, lifted it up, and pushed it forward.
All is well that ends well, but it was sure nerve wracking with the thing teetering the whole time. Guy kept asking what I thought, and I kept saying it was his rodeo, I am just one of the clowns. I also told him if it drops, I am just gonna drive away, and he agreed.
