If you live in the country, most larger farm tractors with front end loaders can do 2000+ lbs without any problems. Many backhoe front end loaders can pickup more than 4000 lbs.
The contract rental places also rent small cranes, bobcats, and tractors with loaders. Most of them also rent Hilman type rollers and toe jacks which are really handy to move around heavy machines.
