I've been needing to move a small 10x16 garage/shed out of the way to make room for a new pole-barn building. I was thinking I would need to jack it up and use a trailer to move it. But a friend of mine suggested I try using the tractor, loader, and 3pt hitch with blade.
I backed the tractor in, and it just fit. The loader bucket could grab ahold of the front door header just fine. For the back of the building, I built 2 "headers" of 2x6"s with a 2x4 on top, and some 2x4"s up to the "joist" above. The headers were lag-bolted onto wall studs. I also put in an extra diagonal brace on the side walls.
I had just enough rear hydraulic power to get the shed off the ground with enough clearance to move it. The building had 3 layers of shingles on it. Also, it was built with old dimensional lumber (likely recycled from some other older buildings) with two layers of siding. So it was heavier than it looks. I moved the building about 100 yards - I'm planning on making it a little shed for gardening equipment next to a new garden plot.
Didn't need the trailer after all. The tractor is a 1964 Ford 2000.
