You figured out the problem with growing them.

To pick them up you need to get a real strong tarp . Slide the pumpkin on it by crab walking it on. Then drag the tarp onto a pallet. Next year if you do it again grow it on a pallet covered with cardboard so the pumkin does not get pallet slat marks.

You can also use a bucket on a bigger tractor.
