Kioti CK27 HST
Here is a picture of the rock I relocated, tractor fealt a little front heavy, I used hill to lift rock up so I could move it, I could not lift it with hydraulics alone.
Amazing what this tractor can do, I also had many stumps I could not pick up, had to roll or drag them to get them out of the way.:) Wonder what it weighed.

"I used hill to lift rock up so I could move it"

Sounds like you are combining the power of the CK27 along with your brain to to max out the FEL capability.

Rocks! Love 'em so much I've learned to leave 'em! **** things just sprout right up around here. The worst are those shy ones just peeking out throuh the ground....... The one in the pic looked to be about 100# and was just up enouh to buzz my flail mower. Presto-chango it's a freakin' boulder!

Nice manuever! I betcha' that one is a good 1/2 ton. And my, my - it's shaped rather conveniently for bucket insertion.

The big ones get buried 6' under now (with the DK45/Woods BH90X). With the Mitsu excavator, they get mauled then tossed into the woods. :cool:

That little rock was the tip of an iceburg, I cannot remove the rest as it is part of Canadian shield, my property is like waves of rock every 200 feet or so, with a 30 foot plus drop to the lake on a 35% grade. Very strange makeup, some quarts, some very heavy rock for their size some granite and some sand mixed in the low spots between the waves.

If it weren't for shipping cost, you could certainly sell them here. Our whole island is sandstone. Many of the so-called rocks here can be broken by hand. I used to take vacations off-island just so I could see real rocks (and mountains).

That's why there's so much money in "Drilling, Blasting and Crushing" up here in Moose Hampshire....:thumbsup:
