Removing cattle rack part 2

So, I was able to scientifically (HA) figure out why there were only 4 bolts holding this cattle rack on, I tried pulling it straight back with the tractor to slide the racks off the flat bed. Well, this did not work all it did was pull the whole truck! Turns out the designer of this monstrosity welded in some V-shaped pegs to set in the stake bed pockets that I did not know existed. I could lift the frame but it would not slide, that’s when I noticed the V pegs. It makes sense, that 4 bolts were not all that was holding this cage on the flatbed! So with some pry bar and cribbing action I got the pegs above the diamond plate and now it is separated and slides easily. Now I need to find a suitable location for this cage, since this truck is probably all I have that can move this thing! I do have a plan to get it off the flatbed once I decide its final resting place.
