I have a Little Chingon deer blind with a 10 foot platform. It weighs close to a 1000lb complete. It was a kind of a pain to get the stairs attached and curious if anyone can think of a way to move it 325 yards down some cleared paths. No elevations changes.

If you have access to a dump bed, that is the best way like Bobo said. If not, laying it over on a flatbed is another alternative. There was a thread on this same subject. You might try to search it up. I'm not good at that or I'd search it for you. I'll look and see if I can find it. Maybe I'll get lucky.

Iv moved them with no trouble by just pulling up to it with my frontend loader with bucket turned up with flat bottom of bucket flat against the blind and top of platform. Make sure you still have at least 6 inches of lift left. Strap it to bucket, lift up and drive carefully. Done it several times even on uneven ground. If you dont have a tractor with loader see if a neighbor has one.

If you have a tractor with forks and enough reach and the floor is solid enough you just scoop it up and go.

Tractor or skidsteer.

Be careful that you dont top out.

You have to remove the stairs but you can leave the little porch.
There are brackets to stick the forks in on the stair side.

We just put up 5 of the big ones.

100% safest way is rent a skytrak !!!! Fork it in the pockets alike mentioned above and carry it wherever you need it since its pretty flat traveling
