Deck mounted clevis on bush hog UPDATE

I ran over some wire with my bush hog and it's going to require some effort to remove. I was going to turn it over with my loader and a chain today but there isn't a good way of attaching the chain. I want to lay it on its side up against a tree so I don't bend the 3 point. I thought about installing two bolt on clevis mounts to one side of the deck so I could easily lift and lean it against a tree. Has this been done before or can anyone suggest an alternative?

Hook around the pin attachment point for the 3pt and around where the tail wheel mounts to the deck. I would go under the pin so it can't slip up and damage anything.

Can you post some pictures of your mower?

Its a 5 footer, just use the hooks on chains to grab side lip and tip her up with loader. My 4 footer is 450 lbs. I can just flip her up by myself. I have seen some heavy built 5 footers though. Work smarter!

Take the blade bolts off and the wire will come off much easier.

Thanks to all who responded. I ended up going a different direction after thinking about it for a while. I drove my front wheels into a shallow ditch and installed my shortest top link. This changed the angle enough so I could easily and safely get under the cutter. As you can see, I used a strap and two 4x4's to secure it. You can never be too careful.
