Any place where you could lift the saw on/off the trailer and drive out from underneath?
Thirty plus years in the sawmill/millwork business. A sore back and arthritic fingers to prove it!

Get the sawmill on the trailer,than when you get there unhook the trailer,may have to put blocks on the rear of the trailer to keep it from raising up in the air,chock the tires. Put a long chain on the the sawmill,hook chain to truck. I have seen those dollies with a wheel and a handle and a trailer receiver ball. Get it so it will start to unload by itself. :o,get in truck and slowly let it off the ramps. Modify this great idea as needed.   ::)   :D Could also have a winch on the other end of sawmill,leave like a foot of slack on chain,than winch it off that way too. Than get in truck drive forward a foot and repeat. Slow,but safer.

If I remember correctly you are allowed to tow double up there aren't you?

In Michigan the first trailer would need to be a fifth wheel, and legally it needs to be designed for "recreational living".
