Buying Advice Opinions on 4wd compact tractor

A safer method for moving rocks is to fabricate a sled - maybe 4X4 with 6'' sides. Nudge the rock onto the sled and then pull with tractor. If done right, this is significantly safer.

Yep, we call it a stone boat. It is a flat 1/2" inch iron sheet 5x4 ft. One end is bent up like a sled with 2x4s laid flat on the sides, with an attached chain. If the loader can't lift it, roll it on the boat.

What would be the best method in bending the 1/2" plate?
