Pete,
Yep, I juggle it around that way too. Space is my biggest issue. I try to get as much into the 24x24 storage barn as I can so when I drop the hoe it's not in what you would call "perfect hook up position". Too much s*** in the building. One of these days I get it organized. Generally all I have to do is barely release the stabilizer pressure when it's on the floor jack and just stick my foot under the front and kick it into position. Not a big deal but lining that sucker up the first time was a bear. Actually, since my boat is in the marina and the hoe is taking up space in its winter parking spot, hookups are alot easier since I have a straight shot into it. Need a bigger building !!
