OMG, already thinking of winter

I'm impressed. How big are those blocks and what do you think they weigh?

I have a similar one that's crumbling and needs replaced but didn't think I had anything to lift it, given it was installed with a CAT excavator.

Yes they are the 2x2x6 blocks normally called a mafia block around here but we hear about 3600# each,
Concrete Bin Block | | 48 Barriers | Stackable Concrete Blocks

I carried and stacked them with the Branson 8050 using the front end loader,
I was planning on using my rear mounted forks but where they had been stacked I couldn't get backed in width whys to lift them and with them out at the ends of the forks they were overloading the 3 point loft capacity and she was bumping up the lift arms every 30 seconds or so. I carried them quite slow and steady to be as gentle on the front end as possible.
My big hoe the Dynahoe 190-4 is down or it wouldn't have been near as hard to move them.

I harbored illusions of still pressure washing a bunch of stuff and painting. So much for that. Winter has arrived!
I got some of my implements pressure washed and painted, the rest will have to wait until Spring.

I never gave that a thought, never looked at others in this size, could take off if it's a issue

The screen is there because the blower has the ability to chuck a grapefruit sized rock thru the neighbors car window... :)
