We use this tripod and a chainfall. The smaller pumpkin already on the trailer was under 1000 pounds, I can't remember exactly it's weight. We don't have a farm, we actually grow them in our yard in the city.
ETA: The cute little Firefighter guiding the pumpkin is our son He's not really so little any more, he's 31!

Actually yes, but they are not like you would expect, nothing like a pie pumpkin. The have been cross bred with squash to make the flesh more dense and to grow the pumpkins HUGE! Howard Dill from Nova Scotia is the developer of the Dill's Atlantic Giant (which is what these mammoths are). I've heard of people eating them but have never tried them myself.

That pumpkin is absolutely gigantic. I didn't even know they could grow that big!!!
Here is my pumpkin this year. I thought the skull went with the white skin.

Us, too! The boys wanted a scary Minecraft creeper. The girls have a little more refined taster and found a turtle design online.
