Just get enough men to help you pick it up to set it up there Number of strong backs = numbers of of cases of cold beer always works. Been there , done that. Cold beer is a good motivator.

After reading others post count me as a skid steer vote. They can be rented for small amounts, are easy to run, and do the work of 25 to 3i men each day.
All of the fencing crews that used to have a JD 4020 show up with a bobcat anymore.

I've been in on several safe moving jobs. One we had in a 2 story 120 year old building. No way was we going to take down those rickety steps. We cribbed up and got it up to the window sill and had a crane take it out the upstairs window. How they ever got it up there without someone getting killed in the process is beyond me. But they built the pyramids without any cranes, lol.
Another time we bought a 100 ton press. We went to get it on a holiday and no one was was available with any kind of loader. It was a long way from home and didn't want to make the drive again. The guy did have a set of rollers and we come a longed it to the door.He also had bunch of 4x4's and we cribbed it up even with the trailer and flipped it over on a bunch of old tires.
