I have used them before for several retaining wall projects, they are great but very heavy. Usually made up from various concrete trucks retruning to the plant with some left on the truck. They are not the best for bumping around a lot because of their casual "pouring" makes for questionable stregnth, so no dropping-dragging off the trailer. I used to hire a guy with a low boy (18 wheeler) and his (legal) load would not fill the bed.
You are getting into a pretty "monumental" task here without the proper lifting equipment, and it sounds like they are for various future projects. Once they are on your site, you'll need equipment again to move them around. Dragging or pushing them into place will not get great results as the block will generally dig in on one side or another and not be level where you leave. :2cents:
FWIW, I could buy them from the concerte Co. for around $30 each, geting them moved was on me.
