We got the phone poles picked up and brought home. It was a bit of work, those things are HEAVY! We clamp a pulley to the front of the trailer.. hooked a logging chain to a pole.. ran a cable from the chain, up to the pulley, and then back to my Uncle's garden tractor. It took some finagling.. but we got them. I was worried about making it up out of his field back to the road but that went ok. Back at the house I was worried about getting up that last steep part of the driveway. We chose to unhook the trailer, and use my kubota [tractor] to pull it up. It just wasn't heavy enough. In 4 wheel drive, and the rear end locked.. it just spun.. digging holes in the driveway. I have a side lawn between our pond and the hill, I drove the trailer in there, and then used the tractor to drag the 3 biggest poles separately up over the hill.
I was then able to haul the trailer up. I have 3 of the poles hauled to where we will use them. I did haul the other 2 out to the woods [just to get them off the lawn].. The other stuff is unloaded, and the trailer is taken care of.
This ended up taking a good part of the day.
