Did you acturally pick that rock up? That one looks pretty heavy.
Yes, I not only picked that rock up but I yanked it out of the ground. I thought it was a much smaller rock that was sitting on the ground (and hitting my flail mower) as only the very tip was exposed. I dug the grapple tines under it and clamped then lifted. I did realize when the rear of the tractor started to lift despite having a backhoe mounted that it was a big rock but it kept coming so I kept lifting. I forget the exact measurements but I calculated at one point that it weighed something around 2000-2500lbs. I couldn't lift it any higher and the rear tires were barely on the ground. I just moved it about thirty feet (slowly!).
