Easiest Way to Move a Tractor

[Juther]

So I'm pretty proud of myself for building a tractor all by myself! Hubs gave me a lesson on the chop saw and I'm pretty sure he was laughing behind my back, but in the end he said "it's surprisingly sturdy"! Success!

I put black drainage pipe sliders on the bottom of the two short sides so it will slide easily, but I need to know what is easier on the back for moving them:

Wood handles (wheel barrow style) Pull or Push
Jack Chain mounted at the bottom it two places with a waterhose handle (pull only)
Screen door handles (not sure I'm strong enough to lift)
Something I haven't thought of

Excited to hear what you smart folks say...

Can you post a picture so we can brainstorm?

A lot depends on how heavy it is.

It's exactly like this...4' x 8'

Nice work!

I have seen a few videos where wheels from old lawnmowers are used. Maybe that could help.

I found this interesting too.

I can have hubs modify a dolly to do that exact thing! Thanks so much. My search was not as successful!

Ok I looked that wheel kit up.
They are pretty proud of it.

I bet something could be built to do the same/similar job.

Scroll down and boat trailer swing away wheels are there.....might work for jacking up the tractor.

Wow you did a fantastic job.

Do you have a riding lawnmower? Just drag it.

Exactly like that .....or is that actually the one you built?

I found this interesting too.

Harborfreight has something like that that could probably be made to work. These go on sale once in a while. 20% discount coupons are always available.
