    You could always crab walk it in! LOL

    How do you crab walk a moffett, you ask?

    Turn steer tire perpendicular to unit. Shift forks to one side. Push forks down till the front tires lift off the ground. Then shift forks to the opposite side. Drive forward as you go to adjust back end of unit.

    It will take you a week to get in there, but you can just bill them accordingly, right? ;)


    Ok so I can't say that I've ever driven down an entire alley that way, but I have dug my machine out of plenty of holes using that method!

    Ten4 on that !! I've made it into the 4's now atleast... I didn't notice at the shipper but man they loaded the back unit so far back, which would be fine if the front one was further up front. I bet I'm 38-40k on my spread and like 28k on my drives. I wish i wouldve noticed that when i was loading so it could get fixed. Oh well , short little 700 mile run

    I always hated that tail-wagging-the dog feeling when loading heavy on a spread and light on the drives.
