Taco took a road trip and helped me pick up a 25 gun liberty safe, now to figure out best way to get it inside, it’s a heavy fucker!
Let me know how you move it. I need to do the same in January

will do. I’ll take some pictures. My goal is to work smarter not harder, hopefully I can engineer something out, checked the curb weight and the bitch is in at 650 lbs.

Forks on your Kabota. Sawzall a large hole in the house... insert. Patch hole.

the kubota will definitely play a role. It’s going on the first floor so the biggest challenge will be getting it over the front door threshold.
I am thinking it will go in my garage. Back the trailer up, unload it, and use a furniture mover to move it.

I need to move my 40 gun safe soon. Luckily I only need to move it a few feet so I can paint around it and replace the baseboards. Debating if I want to go ahead and replace the flooring in that room as well to avoid moving it again when we do the rest of the floors. Or if I feel really frisky I’ll just cut the carpet out and anchor it to the concrete and then just lay the new floor around it.

going in the garage will be easy, pallet jack, fork lift, or extend the ramp so it’s a mild angle.
i used this hand cart to get it 8 steps up a basement. Worked great. Winched it out with my taco and laid down two 10’ 4x4s with a sheet of osb over top.

Take the door off if you can. That should save at least some weight.
I don't have a furniture dolly, but I do have one that is rated to something like 900lbs. I used ratchet straps to anchor it to the dolly and get a friend to help.
...you could also call a furniture moving company to come and get it inside for you. That's the ultimate lazy way.

yeah I had planned to build a ramp or use some tubing, I’ll have to measure first to see the height
the weight isn’t the problem it’s the change in height. My goal is to make it a flat as possible transition from the trailer to the house. Definitely not paying anyone, I just got finished watching the story on Eddie Hall on Netflix and I’m juiced up to pick it up by myself at this point
This 30' telephone pole washed up between my neighbors pier and mine yesterday morning. My neighbor tied it off before going to work but by the time I was on my way home it had come loose and was banging up against my pier. So my neighbor helped me get up on the bank and then I hooked my truck up to it with a strap and pulled it up onto the yard. Probably going to cut it into sections and make a cool rope/pier fence for the front yard.
Gear adrift is a gift. Nice recovery.
My pier is made of a lot of wood from people's broken piers

You mean it is upcycled materials. Get those buzzwords for property values.
Towed a ton of stuff this past week. My trailer was loaded down with scrap wood for deer blinds. Due to the fog and rain, I just cruised at 55-60mph the whole way down south from the Devils Gooch.
70 2"X4" x8' studs.
The deer blinds walls. We assembled them at camp (because we had power there), towed them out to the site and put them together there.
Finally got home. Getting a bath today.
Another V8 4Runner putting in work as well! This has a swapped FJ cruiser case in it.

Finished setting up the new P3 brake controller and put the Ferd to work moving 35 RR ties over to my buddies. We split the load of them I had delivered so I got to help move his share over to his house for a case of beer and some exercise. Truck did great, weather was hotter than hell and sucked even loading with the Kubota. Truck pulled it great, each one weighs close to 200 lbs
