Be carefule when shifting the pumpkin. I broke my biggest one off this year like a rookie. Another grower advised me later to move the vine and not the pumpkin.

How far down is it set? Some people cut their main at the pumpkin if set far enough down. Even though I'm new myself, you'd be fine cutting secondaries to make room.
