A couple of pix of a wood stove swap in my house. The bucket wouldn't reach the porch so I thought, "Why not?" It climbed two steps with no prob and saved me the joy of yanking the stove up two steps on the handcart. I dare say I could've driven right up the stairs and into the house if the door would have let me...
I should have had the BH on when I pulled the heavy, inefficient wood stove out of the house, but it was buried under a tarp and a couple of feet of snow. It was a very slow, low, careful ride back down the stairs to the garage.

Nothing wrong with that. Looks like something I would do. Those cement stairs can handle it so why not save your back? Good job.

Toolguy,
Since you are certifying the stairs, I won't say anything about the ROPS being folded...

I used My Bucket Forks on my BX23 to set a room air Cond. about 2 feet from the back door.
I didn't have to mess with with any steps I just set it onto the porch from the side.

I routinely use the back deck as a loading dock to the house.
When we got a new kitchen stove, I plucked it off the truck and set it on the deck - then reversed that procedure with the old stove.
Same with the new refrigerator and dryer a year ago.

I built a wooden box on casters that I use to move fire wood. I push it outside onto the deck, strap it to the bucket, drive to the wood shed, load it up, set it back on the deck, and wheel it right back next to the wood stove. I have the strap permanently attached to the box with "belt loops", so the hookup is quick.

I've climbed steps with my BX23, also. At my church, while clearing snow. The steps there are quite a bit wider.
