Sellers insisted on putting machine on back of tailgate then pushing it to get over the axles, but Based on experience I recommended lifting it with straps then setting in final position. After they put it on the very back of the trailer there was no pushing it, the front edge of the base just ploughed into the old oak trailer bed. So I hooked up two come-alongside and winched the machine into place by pulling. They also broke off one of the many cranks on the machine but fortunately in a way that's easily repairable, but wastes a half-day doing so.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/img_4595.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
