I had a planter that we moved on an sliding implement trailer. I also used the same trailer for my grain platform. I did not want the planter to set out side in the fall when I needed the trailer to cut soybenas. I took two 6x6 treated posts. I then cut a taper on each end. I spaced them about four foot apart. I then nailed 2x8 across them to make places for the planter wheels to set. I would back the planter up on the skid and then let it down. The units would rest on the back 6x6. The tongue support would set on the front 6x6. I then would chain the planter down on the skid. I would back up to one end of the 6x6s with a tractor with the three point arms down . I would then chain each three point arm to one 6x6. If you lifted the 6x6 just a little you could pull or push it as needed to get into the machinery shed. You do need to be fairly straight with where you want the planter to go when you set it on the skids. I would also set the 6x6s down on a small 2x4 block so I could get the chains in and out.
