Just about any kind of tractor, I suppose.
I suspect more timber frames were put up without tractors than with tractors.
I have more time (God willing) than $, so I can sit back and think about how to I want to approach all aspects of this. Lots of options other than tractors to move and lift. Gin poles, derricks… blocks and tackle, levers, probably others. Maybe even a large treadwheel pulley… now THAT would be a hoot! People would work for free just for the fun of doing it.
