Can it be stood up with help? Two wheel hand truck like used for
refrigerators? Should be able to go across grass, maybe with a helper.

That was sorta my original plan. It'll have to be stood up at some
point, obviously. The wheels on a refrigerator dolly are pretty small
(and my grass is *really* bumpy). I moved my Unisaw myself by using a
ramp to get it into a trailer and used my truck to pull the trailer
around to the back, then across boards to the back door. I wasn't
afraid of it falling over, though. The packing material is a good
50lbs, so maybe the best plan is to unpack it in the garage. Perhaps
the motor and table are separate, too. I guess I'll read the assembly
directions tomorrow.

That's where I'd start -- how many pieces did it come in--"divide and
conquer".

If you can get the pallet on the trailer and back to the rear door, I'd
guess probably then moving pieces from the pallet into shop piece by
piece simpler than trying to move the whole enchilada and then uncrate
inside. But, just have to see how it was packed, specifically.
Sometimes, even some further disassembly first can actually be beneficial...

OK, the Q? nobody asked! What did you get??? Inquisitive minds and al
that...
