Sadly, there is no footage of the actual loading of the stove, however, it can be explained:
The driveway at the house we were picking it up from (in coldstream) had a relatively steep driveway, down to the street, so the trailer was backed to the top, making the incline of the ramp quite manageable, once the stove was on a dolly, with all it's plates, trays, and doors removed, it was rolled up the ramp between 3 people, and then gently guided down the tray into position, with the help of gravity, as the trailer was sloped down the driveway, from there it was secured, positioned centrally between the two axles.
Once the mowers were loaded it was realised the stove needed to be positioned behind the axles to have enough board space for the mowers (as the boards did not extend the full length of the trailer, therefore leaving a central gap at the rear that only the stove was wide enough to bridge) so once enough mowers were loaded to the front of it, it was moved back, off the planks. This did leave the trailer a little heavier at the rear, but it was a calculated risk, and with the combination of the offset of mowers to the front, and Jeffrey's careful and experienced driving, the trailer was kept in control well during the return trip, and the level of 'bounce' from the rear-heavy trailer was not excessive.
