E.Central MN | The average 14k skidsteer trailer is not designed for hauling heavy boulders. Make a few phone calls to area gravel contractors and see if one of them would be willing to move it and what they'd charge. I know, that would take all the fun out of it, but no sense in risking somebody getting hurt and wrecking equipment just for a big rock. Neighbor's boyfriend wanted to move a small boulder. He asked if he could borrow my skidsteer -- when he said it was wider than my bucket I said no way. (more to the story- when backfilling around his girlfriend's house he had tipped my neighbor's small Gehl skidsteer over backwards- twice). Then he asked if he could use my tractor and 3pt bale fork, I said no, that much weight would wreck it. He finally hired another neighbor that had an 8000# all terrain forklift. Your boulder sounds quite a bit heavier than his. If you have gravel roads, you could do like we did years ago, we'd use a tractor and chain to roll the rock onto an old car hood and then drag the whole thing to where we wanted to put it. | |
