Need ideas on moving my table

Post by Jeepn2 »

I recently built a new shop and need to move my 4X8 table approx 125 yards, I have a tractor with front end loader and some 2X3 tubing I thought about using underneath for support. I will probably remove the slats to reduce the weight and use slings for lifting. Any ideas on this and what to be aware of when moving?

I would use the points where the legs are attached to attach the sling to, these being the support points for keeping the table's shape.
It would also help to have some method to absorb any movement shock that would be transmitted from the tractor during the trip.
