A 2x2x6 is more like 3600 pounds and a M59 will lift them.

I just bought 2X2 that are 1200lbs for 30$ CAD. the 2X4 blocks are 40$ 3600lbs makes more sense. concrete is around 150lbs per cubic foot

I think if I had a quite a few of these concrete barriers to move and stack I’d rent a scissor clamp that’s designed for them .i wouldn’t think the cost would be much compared to the ease and ability to move and stack them very efficiently.

The blocks I bought have an iron lifting ring molded into the top. A 3/8" chain hook fits it perfectly. It's recessed and centered so the blocks lift evenly and the ring doesn't interfere with stacking.

Lifting & stacking are quite easy for one person using the ring. I just set the block so it just touches the surface and jockey it into place by hand. Saves climbing on and off the tractor repeatedly.

Set your hydraulic pressure at 3,000 Psig, Load your tires. You should be able to lift 2 tons mid height, more at pins if using ssqa with forks.
