Moving a 6 ton rock. Could only drag it straight, any turn would stop progress and pull me straight again.

Tough little machine , watch video at end

Tried first with the deere, no way

That's simple. First, you get on the bathroom scale and weigh yourself. Then, you pick up the rock, get on the scale and weigh yourself again. Subtract your weight from the combined weight, and walla! It's genius!

^lol

166 lb per cubic foot

(granite)

rock is 7ft by 4ft by 2.5 feet so about 70 x 166

may be off by 1000 lbs each way but it is heavy
