Sometimes there is no way but the hard way - been there too. :) Where I live there is a friendly hard working crane operator. He charges $90 an hour. If you let him pick the time it's done, he would lay it down there & set it up again here (if it's 50 miles or less) for under $150. And he's good with advise & actually doing stuff to help you, not just sit on the seat & yawn. Not everyone is so lucky to have that nearby. But you might want to ask around. When I moved the 2 3000 bu bins, I had 1 friend that moved a bin before, plus 2 other guys, and 2 gals. We atarted at 9:00am, had them both sitting on the ground at my place by 6:00pm. Heck of a deal. The electric impact wrench was THE tool to have. I rented the bin jacks from the coop. Another guy came with his son to move his bin an hour after we started. Couple ladders & some wrenches - in 30 minutes, they were watching us - panting. 5 minutes later, the dad said to his son, "Stay here. Help them. Learn what they are doing." And he left. Came back with the same model impact wrench I had. We had a good chuckle over that that evening, since frankly, we didn't know what we were doing either. :) --->Paul
