Moving 3000lbs?
Build a dirt ramp up to the 2 foot step you have to go to - this must be
long and gradual.
Use a block and tackle with very thick ropes around the block - several
times around - if the corners are sharp use rags around the ropes where the
corners are toughing the ropes. Keep the ropes below middle of the block so
it doesn't tip over.
Get 4 2X6 planks.
Use a car or a truck or a tree to anchor the block and place 2x6 planks with
grease on them right even with the bottom of the block and flat against the
ground - no space under them. You need 4 of them because you load the block
onto the first 2 and drag it onto them place the next two after them and
slide onto the next 2 boards - then re load the 1st two. Make sure you
place the planks as far apart as you can under the edges of the block - do
not put them in the center.
The grease on the planks makes a big difference so grease them well - make
the dirt slope up to the step a gradual easy ramp angle.
