I don't have a picture, but the year we built our big bins we were basically dumping trucks in a construction zone....the ground was anything but smooth and level. The auger was a BEAR to move....then my brother drove the JD 420 garden tractor out there, attached a 12' or so long tow bar we have between the hopper and the hitch of the garden tractor, and from then on it was very easy to swing...just start the 420 and push the hydrostat lever in the proper direction. You even got to sit down while you swung the auger under the truck.
