DEF110 CSW I need to get it in and out of my garage, (concrete floor, brick at the back)

As there is a lip on the way in its impossible to push by hand and I am close to knackering a car shoving it in.
Is it feasible to put an eye into the wall or concrete and pull it in with a cheap leccy winch or farm jack ? Pull from the rear through the eye in concrete to the land rover bumper/recovery point.

I assume Concrete floor would be the best and drill in a deep bolt with an eye on ?

Suitable ? BZP Steel Eye Bolts with Sleeve Fixing Anchor 6mm 8mm 10mm 12mm | GS Products
 
Are you sure the 1s you listed are up to the weight of a 110?

Seem low rating to me at around 1300lbs;).

If there is a battery, connected to a starter motor, connected to a gear box, you could wind it in with the starter.
In low range first.
Or have you tried levering it in? A long pole under a rear wheel/tyre?
You could also stack sheets of cardboard in front of the lip until it runs up it.
 
I had a handwinch attached to the wall in my old garage, it was on a slope so difficult pushing broken down vehicles in,

Yeahh tried man handling it... its just too much of a lip and the fact we have gravel makes it even harder. I have made concrete ramps as well but its still too much to push. Bottom line pushing a 110 uphill is hard...Battery is out and injectors are pulled to stop issues from non running.
 
Good spot need bigger ones :(... Keep in mind to pull 1000lbs doesnt take 1000lbs..

Yes friction on wheels is less of a force to overcome than gravity;), but you have said "uphill" which adds up:).

Just dont want the thing pinging off and all that tension flying around with bits of metal attached:eek:.

Probably easier if you just fix it:D:D.

Agree but I have another vehicle in front of the queue which has been a great distraction :(

Aha!
Now we know the real problem.
Do you remember the film "Ice cold in Alex"? where they took an ambulance to the top of a dune?
They took out the plugs and used the starting handle to wind it up.
Got nearly to the top then it fell over, or summat!

Ooooo thats a fair point could I just turn it over with the dog nut now ?

I think it'd be tough, but with all resistance in the cylinders removed i.e. injectors or glow plugs removed, the starter motor in low range first should shift it. And controllably too.
