Aligator wrestling today.
Flipped it over so its right side up. Came up with an elaborate system of slings that worked amazingly well. The first part was easy, wrapped heavy slings around it then stood it up on its side with a second tractor tied off as an anchor in case it went over.

Laying it down from its side was a little more tricky. Had to get the slings arranged to transfer the weight as it came over the balance point. With the second tractor as an anchor we pulled it over then caught the weight with the loader. Have to say it was smooth, not one jerk or bang. Tom took a video, will post it if he gets it to me.

Now the fun mechanical part starts.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
