In a tight spot

[nickk]

Most of us have done it,so I expect this thread to be topped up with amusing and satisfying tales,this trailer is the biggest I’ve had in the shed,the problem is it’s at 90 degrees to the entrance,I resorted to cutting the bay shrub that reached above the roof then to remove the gates,had to unbolt the hinges as said bay had grown around them! The bay ultimately needed removal as it could harm the security of that stanchion.
Next problem is the fork lift,I’d parked it there to lift the welder up,then the starter wouldn’t engage,no amount of hammering would engage it,so it’s jack the mast up,remove the stands,lower the mast to remove the welder then take the starter off.
Looking forward to seeing some tight scrapes and squeezes lol.

A skid loader with forks is much better in that situation if it has the lift capacity.
and with a hole in the bucket for a trailer ball, moving trailer is much easier.

A few here - my only involvement in most was 'interested bystander'

Sadly don't have any pics but I rented a mini-digger four times in 2021 to build a wall-of-old-railway-sleepers and I managed to get the flippin' digger severely wedged against the wall.

I went back and forth for 15 minutes, terrified that the roof and my deposit were going to get ripped off by the wall.

Then I remembered the dirty great arm at the front - extended that out 45 degrees, dug it into the ground and pulled myself out. Obvious in hindsight...
