Thought some of you may enjoy these. I bought 60 ton of sandstone for some projects and my wife shot some video of me unloading.

Loader and grapple worked great for moving the rocks.

Just curious, what's your loader's capacity. Nice pics.

Nice! Those blocks look pretty beefy, any idea of what one weighs?

2200lbs bucket mid point to Max Height
2762lbs pivot pins to max Height

Those are the factor settings. I know some have increased this some on their L39's. Mine are still at factory settings. One of the benefits of the LD Millonzi 48". It's very light so I don't lose much lift. I can lift more with it than my standard FEL bucket. I know some of the HD skidsteer grapples weigh 800-1000 lbs. While I'm sure they are tough as he** I wouldn't want to lose the lift.

Not real sure. I'd guess the one in the first video is 1500+lbs. I had one that I could barely lift. I couldn't lift it out of the truck but once I got it on the ground I could lift it about 2ft off the ground and that was it. It is a whopper. I'd say it was pushing a ton. Maybe more.

Nice vids. Looked like in one of them your back tires where slipping a little while backing up. Where you using the 4WD?

Thanks. Don't recall slippin at all. I was in 4WD. It may be the frame rate on the video. I did hit a little higher gear in reverse than I meant to when I was turning around in the first vid. That may be what you were referring to. I was lowering the BH trying to make sure I didn't hit one of those limbs behind me.
