How you move or Lift your Big dish antennas ?

For my 1st 7 1/2 footer everything was man/woman handled, that was done by me and my wife.
I set the post first which is 7 foot of the ground, set the polar mount on it by myself, then me and my wife set the dish on it.

Later on I swapped the 7 1/2 footer with the 10 footer, it was done the same way.

No big deal.

Mr John Deere moves my larger satellite dishes.



Assembled it in the shop during a rainy day and moved it into place when the rain stopped.

Is that a gyrostabilized in motion PTO automatic satellite tracker on the John Deere?

put a free sign on it,then change your mind.

Not very stable really, and certainly not gyrostabilized!
Did the job though. That's the dish I ended up mounting on two railroad ties. Area I put it is well sheltered so I don't expect it to go anywhere. Frost doesn't have as much of an effect as I expected luckily.

I think the wind got up sometime... my 10' fiberglass dish that I took off the mount last week is standing up again against my fence... power did go off sometime last night, not sure if it's related as I was at work. I should get the chance to quarter it this weekend.
