Been hogging my 12 acres of fields and came across several slabs of concrete out in the field, which was very annoying to say the least.

Gave me some good FEL practice but I think I need a larger bucket :D. Or maybe not!

I could've fit the second one in, but it stayed on so off I went to the junk pile back in the woods.

Man am I ever glad I got the FEL :cool:

Any idea where they came from? Sounds like you found them before they did any damage to your equipment. At least it was nice to find another use for the FEL. :D

Hear ya kilo. Seems I hardly ever get the wheelbarrow out anymore. Just go with the FEL and either the bucket or forks to move something.
Good feeling when you can move something so large and do it so easy.:D

No idea... from the look of them I'd almost say they were just dumped out at the end of a pour... big circular shapes without any real form. I had to flip a couple to make them break into a piece I could pick up.

Yeah pretty easy to spot them, except for one that was almost entirely covered in soil and grass. Thought it was a little one until the FEL started to lift up a large section!

FYI flipping them onto a medium size rock worked great to split them in two!

Just another day cleaning up what the previous owners left. Coming up on the 1 yr anniversary of owning this place

Likely a wash out pile. The trucks charge more than 100$ extra if you don't let them wash out their drums at your site. The concrete is usually weak since it has extra water but can be a sizable chunk. I also had to make a spot for the pumper truck to wash out his hopper for the same reason.
