Rolled them on logs IIRC
Blimey - how old are you??? 😉
When we were trainees they had us move 3/4 ton transformers by hand
Just had to explain to my lad that no it wasnt optimus prime but for electricity, he's good at reading but not too worldly wise yet!! Mind you i also had to explain to him that my sisters rescue chickens didn't actually rescue people......
As for the trough, lever it up enough to get a lifting strap under it then slide a scoffold pole through the strap two men/stout women either end should lift no problem.
Two engine pullers.
Can I ask the obvious question....how far have you got to move it? And do you need to keep it one piece?

I wouldn't have thought that was a particularly obvious question.
The second line of the orginal post said, quote : [i]I need to move it about 12' [/i]
I reckon there's probably a clue there somewhere.
hmmm....pallet truck on grass loaded with large brick thing hmmm....? = one ruined lawn and a bad back, wheels on truck won't even turn I reckon
Trolley jack on wooden boards

so...arrange some global cooling, then hope a small, but perfectly formed glacier forms next door, then gently pops through the garden fence, picks up the stone and start melting just before it gets to your house and demolishes it...
might happen 😉
Might not.
Got 3 lads here tonight who say they'll help (they are pissed mind you)+ terrahawk. 4 more and a few scaf poles and I think we'll do it. Beers are on me.
Approx 250000 party baloons should do it.
How much does it weigh? Would take around 1,300 'noromal' size helium balloons just to lift me, and I'm a skinny XC-whippet!
has he shifted it?
I'm betting that weighs more than 600kg
