Any other ideas for doing this?

If the driver won't help and you have a pickup, do the following:

Back the pickup up to the rear of the big rig. Slide the saw from the
rig into the pickup bed. Drive the pickup back into the driveway.
Slide the saw off the pickup bed onto the ground.

FWIW, 198 pounds isn't that heavy. (2) 2x6x12's would let you slide
the saw easily from the rig deck to the ground quite easily. You can
drive nails though the boards into the pavement or ground to keep the
boards in place. Most drivers would help you stabilize the package as
it slides down the ramp. The two of you would be standing on the
ground.

I got my 265 pound bandsaw package out of my trailer and into the shop
alone, but I'm 220-230 lbs. G

Have fun with the new tool!
