There seem at least three ways, depending on tree supply.
'Walking' them by rocking on their bases would be simplest and easiest.
Ropes, and get the 'Inverse Pendulum' timing right...
Have done similar with heavy steel 'machine' tables, which either took three strongest guys in lab to ease weight, or then-skinny me alone with a serious skew shove...
If you cannot see the wood for the trees, deploy LIDAR.
