how to use engine hoist in grass?

I have a CA18DET all ready to drop in, I just need the hoist to be able to roll around. I am broke AF so I can't buy plywood or anything like that. Any ideas? I tried just having the hoist pick it up diagonally but it ended up just flying up and lifting the car up lmao. I just moved to the tampa area and all my suparc00l 240 friends live in bradenton.

The only logical thing to do if you can't get the car, (and hoist) onto solid ground would be to use 2 sheets of plywood. But.........

2x4's under the leg, not the wheel would work, then you'd just have to roll your car back out of the way.

Go by some dumpsters locally by foot or friends/parents car etc...And get all the cardboard you can. It may not be the best but at least it'll give some stable surface as opposed to dirt and will prolly work if you get enough cardboard and its not all crappy from rain. $0 investment

G/L either way
