I have been avoiding placing one of the rocks in my front yard landscape.
Well I got it in a dolly grip and I won! This is the second dolly. Killed the first one.
It did fall over a few times when a wheel sank into the wet dirt until I started placing some boards under the wheels.
Just sharing picks. Took a long hot bath a two Advil.

Looks like we've found the yellowcake that GWB was touting as evidence of WMD.
It would have been easier to move if you had not had the extra weight of the tape measure on top.

man, no wonder there's the backside of a smiley face on there.
ya need to getcha self a backhoe with a thumb!
Frenchy can prolly fix you up.
I have an Irish/German backhoe. My back. I was very happy when it was done. This one was right at my limit. At one point I thought I was stuck for good.
A 16 hp Kubota with a rear 3 point hitch would do that in minutes.
Back up over it, wrap a chain around the rock and forks, lift, drive away.
If'n the front of the tractor picks up instead, get the fat lady next door to sit on it's hood.
Around here we would have just wrapped a chain around it and dragged it with the truck. The grass will grow back.
So, with all of that weight at one end, did you pop a wheelie?
Biggest durn tape measure I've ever seen, compared to that car in the back round.
That is the new 1 mile FatMax, I heard it has a stand out of almost 200 yards.

Nice goin'. Well conceived and executed use of leverage, an axle and two wheels. Looks like it should make an interesting center piece too.
