i put the 2400 through some tough jobs today and it handeled them well. cleared some brush from along wood lot. normally did it by hand. much faster, easier, better job and more fun./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif. also dug out a rock that has been giving me fits for a no.of years. the rock was small about 12 in. across and sticking above ground about 5, in. then i started to get it out.had to dig on two sidess and kinda build a ramp, and keep working and working at it, rock just keept getting bigger and bigger. after 45 min. finally rolled it up on to solid ground. then it started to pour. so i just left it there. anyone have any idea what this thing weighs? about 32 in. across and 20 in. thick.. darn those little kubotas can work! tech. info!! r4's worked ok(ags would have been better' in this instance) hst. was invaluable. would not own a compact tractor without it.

The density of rocks can vary all over the place. The local rock constabulary has some stuff called "feather rock" that is incredibly light; you can pick up a 2' diameter "rock" easily.

That said, if it is "normal" granite/basalt kind of rock, then you could approximate it to concrete, and call it 150# per cubic foot.

Assuming your rock is 32" diameter, and 20" thick, then I come up with approximately 9.3 cubic feet, or (even more approximately) 1400 lbs.
