The loader only handled two of them.  On the big one I took a lesson from others and made a stone boat, dragged the stone up on the boat, then dragged the boat up on my trailer with a come a long.  Surprising how easy they pulled up the shallow slope to trailer.  Used a 2 ton come a long with a snatch block.   I read that granite weighs 150 pounds per cubic foot.  Estimate that big boy was about 1200 pounds.

One of them was what is called a Puddingstone, dragged to Michigan from Canada by glaciers and some say formed a billion years ago.........hmmmmmm.  Anyway they are different than the granite boulders we have so many of here in West Michigan.  Mine still covered in mud, this pic is an example about the same size as the one I hauled home.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
