400lbs by hand? Keep in mind this has the potential for a $20,000 hospital visit.

Or a $10,000 funeral.

You need to get into some CrossFit buddy, lol

One of my staff is a former D-1 tight end. 6'8 and about 280, only a few years out of school. He suggested I make friends with the Jags defensive line and say "betcha can't".

Sounds great but making friends with them would cost more than renting a crane...ever see how much an athlete can eat?

Yeah, but it would be a lot more fun! I recall when my two boys were late teens and doing competitive swimming five days a week. Those grocery bills were impressive!

My sister has three sons that all swam competitively (very). By the time the second hit puberty she said “We’renot saving for college: we’re saving to feed them through high school. “

Mission accomplished. $120 for a hitch mounted deer hoist.

So... after the cable hook bottomed out, how'd you get it the rest of the way up?

Tilted it horizontally onto a piece of wood that was on top of the column, slid it onto the column and stood it up.

So now you're going to garage sale the hoist for $1.75 since you don't need it anymore?

Maybe I should take up deer hunting.

It was cheaper than renting power equipment or hiring muscle, so I think of it as a disposable cost.

What’s the “advertised”/ “advised”/ lawyer-approved weight limit on one of those?
Pivot 180deg?

This particular one is the Kill Shot 500 pound hoist. It pivots 360 degrees, nice ball bearing swivel.
