Nice work!
Used tripod style camper jacks many years ago to lift a small granary
high enough to get a trailer under. Didn't have to disassemble then for
the move. Worked a treat! Similar to these Pickup Camper Jacks:

For that price it must be excellent! I use this type under the tongue of my log splitter:

I extend it by putting my foot on the base and lifting the tongue, but it does have a way to be jacked up and down with a rod through the holes.
We moved the shed to its new location without any injury or property damage, so this was a good day.
It would be nice to own a tractor loader, perhaps nicer to have a neighbor who bought and maintains one. He's also restoring an older Chevy so I pay attention to the discussions here. He says a swap for a 5 or 6 liter LS engine has become the hot street setup.
