I'm looking at a Unisaw on CL. I have a Dodge Ram pickup that can
handle the load but I have no idea how Id get the thing into the bed
of the truck (just me & wife). The saw is not nearby and a bit of a
drive. I dont have access to a small trailer, although I guess I
could rent a U-Haul? Recommendations?

If the Unisaw has wheels, how about some 2x8 or 2x12 ramps and a small
hand winch attached to the front of the bed?

I'd be really leery of doing this and I'm one who generally smiles at some
of the scare-warnings posted here. The unisaw is somewhat top-heavy given
the cast iron top and if a portable base has been added, the wheels are
going to be small. The chances of things going badly as you pull this up
the ramps are going to be rather high.

What others suggested, taking the saw apart is more likely to be
successful.
