Moving the stupidly heavy
Last year moved a 20" bandsaw. When it was originally boxed up it was marked at about 320kg. Had the table off for this move and had a truck with lift. But me and the boy verrrry slowly across the gravel to the shed with a hand trolley. VERY SCARY

Because no matter how I looked at it, by the time I added a diff & gearbox there was no room to shoe-horn in the V8.
Ayup. Can you think of any better excuse to only mow the lawn twice a year?
The problem with BS's is the height, which makes them unwieldy. At least with a 'frig the weight is typically all down low, but a BS has more equal distribution of weight. (Assuming it has a good rigid spine.)
Even with a snatch strap on the trolley it'll only be half-way up the crate and the thing'll want to lean downslope. Lighter BS's are just as awkward but, thankfully, easier to manhandle.
My new toy wouldn't have been too bad, apart from ensuring the trolley could handle it and the effort of getting that mass moving (and stopping!) if I'd only bothered to check that the centre of mass was, in fact, around the centre of the crate.

This is how I moved my 5m long twin mitre saw, by myself with no helper. these pics were taken about 3-4 years ago...
my forklift couldnt fit into the garage too.

A reliable forklift is almost a MUST for any workshop.
I went through 3 forklifts in 2 years. there are a lot of lemons out there. Be aware.
1st Forklift, bought private and cheap for $1500, didnt know the forky had dodgy brakes, by the time I had the proper brakes fitted I have spent $4k on it. and then other issues emerged, sold it cheap almost as scrap metal

2nd forklift, didnt think I will be that unlucky, so bought cheap and private again. 4 weeks after purchasing, it had transmission error, got quoted 8k minimum to 15k to repair. sold as is = scrap metal

3rd forklift. the company who has been fixing my previous forklifts probably felt sorry for me and sold me a pristine condition Toyota at 1/2 market price - so far so good.
