Finally got around to moving a rock I dug out of my excavation--we're improving our camp with bigger rocks as I get around to them. After I burst 2 hoses on my Bobcat trying to lift it, I decided to do it the old fashioned pyramids building way. Except I don't think they had a chainfall.
This rock is about 16" x 42" x 26" if you judge the median in each dimension. It works out to 1,600#. It was a hell of a load pulling it up my hill. When I hit the steepest part the front of the truck came WAY up and I was afraid to let off for fear of stopping forward progress. It was up for 50 feet or so until I went over the top and could let off a bit.
I still have Coffin Rock to move. It's medians out to 10x19x57 so it's about 1,000# exactly. My loader can pick it up so I don't get to assemble to gin pole. I have a dozen or so 200-500#ers which I can just put in the back of the B2 a couple at a time.
And last, is the outhouse--hand dug and made in USA.
