I'm looking to purchase a flail mower, but I'm not sure about transporting it to my location and unloading it. I have access to a full size pickup and a utility trailer and I beleive it could be transported in either of those. The problem that I see is unloading it. I've considered a rope over a tree branch to lift it and then drive the the truck/trailer out from under it, but haven't found a good looking tree/branch. The utility trailer is low to the ground and has short sides (~8"). I'm thinking about backing the tractor (a Ford/NewHolland 3230) up to the side of the trailer, hooking up the 3pt hitch, lifting the flail mower using the hydrualics of the 3pt hitch and driving the tractor away. I've checked the manual, but I can't find any specs on the lift capacity or travel of the 3pt hitch for the ford 3230. Does this sound like it would work? Any other ideas, other than paying someone to deliver?
Thanks
