1) Roll tractor off and park where you want.
2) Jack up tractor and use 2 axle stands on either
the front or rear and remove 2 tires / wheels.
3) Install tires / wheels on trailer and tow off
with fork lift and put it where you want.
Just a quick thought.
I have never worked on a gama goat, but I would not
want to take the chance of wrecking anything with the fork lift.
Good luck.
