The difference in the weight is the 1st thing that struck me , wow . 10 ft'r is HEAVY , oh , that's why most of you guy's have gin poles , fork lift , overhead chain fall , cherry picker , etc. to lift the load .

They are much heavier the bigger they get and I’d imagine your 10’ #12 is heavier than my 10’ #15 with the #12 having two pinions and two bull gears. I can pick up most 8’ gearboxes, but I use the tractor frontend loader for the 10’ ones or bigger.
