Default engine pull question

Is a 750lb cherry picker plenty to pull out the whole motor and tranny or does the job call for a 1000lb picker? I saw somewhere tje whole engine with accessories is like 475lbs. But I don't know if that is accurate and how much the transmission would add to that number.

750 should do the job just fine, just make sure the wheels on the picker a extended all the way out.
