If you have or can readily borrow a farm tractor you can use a boom pole. I
have done this several times with some pieces that were pushing 1000+
pounds. Not quite as nice as a fork lift but it does work. I am currently
keeping my eyes open for a fork lift attachment for a 3 point hitch.
If you go this route make sure it is a good size tractor and it has a fair
amount of front end weights. Expect to do all your turning with the brakes
as there won't be much control with the front tires.
This is from experience on a 60 HP diesel with 200 pounds of front wheel
weights.
