I have just purchased a C 375 and am looking at options to unload the stove and move it around to its resting place. The trailer it is on has a ramp and i have used it to move my previous stove from trailer to pad, and back to trailer when i sold the stove. I am have envisioned 3" angle iron welded on the feet in place of the small pads that are factory installed. The runners would be the full length of the stove for stability. I would cut reliefs in the ends of the angle and bend them upward with heat to form raised ends. This would enable me to drag the stove behind the tractor around the yard and up on the pad. I do realize that the stove was designed with the ability to be transported by pallet forks and by overhead lift but i dont have the means to utilize either option, i am able to fabricate and the steel is available.

Sounds like a lot of work but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I think it would work but I would be worried it would fall over when you went down the ramps. Do you have a big tree or something you could use to lift the stove up and off the trailer then rig something up to drag it into place? Is there anywhere that you could rent a machine from for a few hours? I agree with slim it sounds like a lot of work. Got any neighbors with a machine that will work for a few cases of beer?

Your delivery driver might not be patient enough for all that fabrication. Can your local rental store and get a Lull for two hours. I used the back end of a backhoe for my 10k and it almost wasn't enough.

Thats a pretty stout backhoe…..

I picked the stove up from the dealer. No delivery driver involved. I removed the pads from the legs after placing 4 jack stands under the frame. Then, I welded runners to the legs. I placed plywood on the ramp of the trailer and used the three point hitch on the tractor to raise the front of the trailer up. This eliminated the sharp angle between the floor and the ramp
The stove is unloaded and on the pad.. Tomorrow I will sand, prime and paint the runners. It worked very well and only cost me a couple hours and a few marks in the yard. Grass grows back. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Thanks Countryboy, it is a very nice stove. When the pumps come in I will start plumbing. I am looking forward to fall. I am rebuilding a gravity wagon to store coal in.
