Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmar<p>After I finally got the beam out of the garden, I hooked up the other end and turned it 90 degrees so it can go thick end first towards the gate behind which I want it to be.</p><p>But before I can pull it the rest of the way, I had to tidy up the other beams spread out in the yard. Luckily our tractor fits between fruit trees, sheds and old bee hives and I could pull them all into a pile, one at a time.

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmar<p>Final result: Moved it about 3m. Just too bloody heavy.</p><p>I tried many things. The wheel lever worked, but was a lot of work to reset (steel wheel very heavy). Shortening up the chain and lifting it with the three point hitch hydraulics worked equally well and a lot faster, but the wheels just dig in and lose traction. Maybe double tyres 😁</p><p>Also learnt that a front ballast for the tractor doesn't do anything. At least not a 100kg one (me standing on the front bar hopping up and down).</p><p><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Tractor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tractor</span></a></p>
Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmar<p>Ok, giving up for now. I'll check how long I need the beam to be for the sawmill foundation and then I'll cut it into parts.</p><p>It's just too heavy to pull from the soft soil there. Dug over half the yard with the wheels. Broke off the concrete crown with the chain. Even fetched the stone sled from the forest and winched it onto that (actually winched the sled under the beam, because beam don't move). Even with that it won't budge more than a few mm at a time.</p><p><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Homestead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Homestead</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Farm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Farm</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Tractor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tractor</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Concrete" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Concrete</span></a></p>
