I would much prefer the heavy beam between the sill plate and my loader

If this is a one-story house over a basement, how about applying force

I would not use tractors, use a electric winch, or heavy duty come
along, and speeed reducing, power increasing Block and Tackle.
Cranes lift heavy loads because of Block and Tackle. The problem is
what to attach it to so you dont rip apart the house. A winch may be
to fast.

I'll agree w/ the last. Heavy come-alongs are indeed an option other
than they pull instead of push which unless there's a better attachment
than the cable around the corners isn't a primo choice imo...

Having moved a lot of stuff w/ tractors, I'll attest one can be pretty
doggone delicate if have the right stuff -- that means either the
hydrostatic tranny and/or hydraulics, not a fixed-speed manual
transmission on a chain. I'd have no hesitation whatsoever in being
certain I could nudge it along a fraction of an inch at a time w/ my bucket.
