If you don't have one, then renting a forklift on the unload end would be the best idea. Given that the machine weighs around 5000 lbs, I would want at least an 8500 lb forklift, better if it was around 10,000 lbs. An offroad reach type forklift would be the best. That would also allow you to use it as a crane if that is the best way to handle it.
