I bet I could find pulleys and harness it to lift it out then siphon it. I have a bad back too. I can still lift 10 gallons but I have to be careful. I can get some serious sharp pains from just bending over.
Hah...I'm doing that now...no big deal...just a quick house ale...10 -14 days and it will be kegged on C02 and safe. All this hooie about airlocks, just seal it up well w/ plastic wrap and get it to a keg asap.
