Bigger bowls

My turned wood bowls are gonna get bigger! I just bought a Powermatic 3520B lathe. Oh, life has taken a turn for the better. Now I will be able to turn bowls up to 20 inches in diameter. I bought the lathe second-hand, new and still boxed and on the shipping pallet from a guy named Brian who won it in a contest sponsored by American Woodworker magazine. He makes Shaker-style furniture, and has no use for a great lathe. It weights 630 pounds, and I have no idea how I am going to get it off my trailer and into the garage.
