I figured a rope and pulley system of some sort in the garage will do the trick. I have VERY limited space in there, as it is full of antique car and assorted parts for same. [sad]
Anyway, as for the rack for my Jeep, being the true Scotsman I am, I have an idea using a pair of gutter mount ProLine standard roof racks ($49.00, 180 lb capacity). If the rear one is placed far enough back, yes, I should be able to do as you said Mr. Bill; lift one end up and set it on the rear rack, go to the other end, lift and push. The other option I have is I have a small utility trailer I could build a rack for, but I don't want to have the extra wheels behind me.
I'll figure something out...
