Will a JD450B drag or push a 20' cargo container around?
I am thinking of getting 1 or 2 to use as shed/garage storage on my property, and am hoping I can locate it where desired by using the JD 450B.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

i have to do one end at a time with the hoe with a dozer if you put the chains in the corner boxes where when you pull it will lift some you should be-able to pull it with ease
2010 with 622 dozer with mod. 35 ripper and a 2010 with 622 dozer bought in 1969 and a 2010 loader with drott and mod. 36 ripper
I can pull my GMC 7000 grain truck, although with difficulty, with my 2010 crawler (similar HP and same HLR as a straight 450), and I believe it weighs at least twice as much as a 20' shipping container (I think the container tares around 4500 pounds). The difference is that the box has a lot more friction surface area, so if you can lift a little with the loader bucket as previously suggested that should really help.
If you do run into problems, you can try to roll it along while pulling by putting some similar size logs under it (old utility poles work well for this). Obviously that won't necessarily work on slopes, but is a time tested way to help move extremely heavy objects in ancient times.
