I have my new stove in the truck, Im having a beer and then we are dragging it in t he house 750 lbs I will let you no how it gos .
 
What type of stove is it and how are you planning on getting it in the house? You might want to save the beer until after you're done!
 
750 lbs you need a keg party!
 
My wife & I unloaded our Equniox two weeks ago.
Watch out for loose legs. One leg fell off in transit.
Just a heads up
 
If you can, remove the door and firebricks. This will reduce the weight by about 1/3.
 
Well we have the equniox in place .We moved it to the back pourch with a skide steer fork lift . Then we use a hand truck to move it 10' on the deck and 16' on the stone floor ,Then we droped it in place . We straped the old stove to the palet and out it went back to the truck hook up the trailer load the skidsteer and now im off to a freinds house to drop off my old stove . I had a small break in fire last night the stove burns real nice The stone was still warm this morning .

how is your back fealing ? The hard part is done now enjoy.

sounds like the skid steer did most of the work!! i don't think it felt to much LOL
 
you the man - skid steer or not there is nothing easy about dealing with that stove :coolsmile:
 
O yea The EQ is unreasonably heavy . I did not have any one that could even help me lift it . I had to lift both sides . I moved my VC DW into a friends house and the DW is around 650 lbs ,iit not so bad .Next time i build a house i will have a loading dock in the garage. So where is the snow Im ready.
 
Enjoy the stove and the beer. Celebrate the wins like this!
