Ramps, earthen dirt bank, several of your strong friends or one Anatoly.
I use to do engine swaps and I backed the pickup into the garage and had a come along attached to the header above… simple and worked.

Have it dropped off in the nearest town that has a fork lift... load it on your trailer.

Usually you have to pay extra for lift gate service. You do that when you purchase the implement. You can have them back up to a space on your driveway where they can put the implement. Then you can unpack it if it's in a crate or frame and hitch it to the tractor.
If you pick it up at the freight terminal they will load it into the back of your truck or onto a flat bed trailer.

I bought a 'used oil' furnace and a hoop house that were shipped from other states. They come to a Regional Delivery terminal via semi-truck and from there they arrived by box trucks equipped with lift gates. They were skidded on the the gates, lowered, and I took them away with loader forks. In your case, either drag it to the shop or uncrate it at the road and hook it up ! be sure to let us know how it worked out !

I've used my engine hoist to load/unload heavy items into the back of pickup trucks with no issues. Lift height would be my biggest concern, if the tiller is on a tall truck the engine hoist may not reach.

Let this be a cautionary tale...there is a reason loaders are standard on most new tractors nowadays.

Even the little backhoe on my BX23 had come in very handy for use as a sky hook… with weight in the loader if needed.
