40' Shipping Container Question

[Goldensammy]

You a tundra owner? If so, no need for a tractor.

maybe 10'

Get two wooden poles 10 ft long, that's all you need to drag. Would be easy to do. Where about is it, I might be able to help.

I know your bucket can lift better than my farm jack

That bucket can’t even dream of that 40’ container.

10'? 10' is doable. First go get you a full scoop of dirt/rocks in your loader bucket for weight. Then run a chain through the hole at the bottom corner of the container and hook it to your 3pt with it all the way down, and backed up real close to it. Throttle up and raise the 3pt, you may not get it off the ground, but you'll be able to drag it with all that traction.

Exactly what I was thinking, I have slid a couple of them around with my skid steer pretty easy, they actually slide pretty easy on flat ground.

There you go trying to make things easier again lol I didn’t even think of using the bucket as a counterweight.

im using concrete blocks but RR ties would work too.

Just FYI depending on how solid and thick they are they will most likely crack. I put several under on of ours and after a few weeks of settling they all cracked. But we are in East Texas and our ground is real soft and settles alot.

At work I bought and used 40 footers all the time for storage. Tare weight on an empty is right at 8000# for a standard and about 8700 for a tall. Both of them will hold about 62,000# of material. It will be a work out for your tractor, but will work if you walk it around where you want.

Well i got it set over the weekend, took me about 45 minutes to slide it into place and level it. I set it on some angle iron and pushed it into place with the tractor. Used the 3 point and it picked it up no problem so that i could level it. My buddy is having his delivered this weekend and we plan on doing the same thing. Now to the interior for framing and insulation!!
