best way to move big-ish rocks?

[Fixemall]

I use my tree spade bucket, the longer reach and curved sides work wonders for moving boulders.

I use my pallet forks, either on the loader, or on the three-point for heavy rocks.

Whoa! How did u put your loader forks on the 3 point?! That's pretty cool!

Here is the thread on my three-point pallet fork adapter build:

Ive moved way bigger rocks than that with my b2630. Talking like 5-6 foot diameter. Just use the loader to roll the rock along to where you want it. Rather easy actually.

Really? I'm dealing with granite here... and I want to move it along some back roads, which technically aren't public, but I'd rather not crush passing cars with out-of-control Indiana-Jones-style rolling stones...

Roll them on a hood off a truck, chain to drawbar and drag 'em.

Doesn't this scratch the heck out of the hood? :laughing:

It'll buff out. :laughing:

I've moved some pretty big boulders by using a car tire chain to serve as a web to capture behind the rock...and pulling the tire chain with a log chain coupled to my tractor's draw-bar.
