I've got a zero turn mower and they don't have provisions for hitches which means I'd forgotten about lawn tractors. This is the time of the year to get one cheap so I think I'll look into that.
I haven't seen a boat lift before but I'm betting straps and overhead contraption. I'll do some surfing for that too.
I'd be a little worried about the swingset style lift over rough ground. I'd been thinking of some sort of big wheeled cart, but I hadn't been thinking of an overhead hoist on wheels.
You've given me some ideas.
My thought about using the swing-set style hoist was for loading or unloading onto the trailer. Not for actual moving from point A to point B. Especially the unloading part in the 12 ft wide area.
Alternatively, if you can get the cars loaded on the trailer with a engine hoist, perhaps a simple shoe attached to the side wall of the building and a single 2x4 A-frame on the post side. tie them with a horizontal pair of sistered 2x10's or 2x12's should (might?) support the weight of a car. Certainly a small car.....he said with fingers crossed.
