Bob,
Typical monos tailwheel weight is around 35 kgs = 77 lbs.
So picking it up is possible for quite a strong person but
I do not recommend it because there is a risk to hurt your back
or planes rudder etc.
More sophisticated way is to use lightweight pushable/pullable towbar.
Even a rope is ok but you cannot push w it.
Raimo w Mono
