Looks like a job for a 5c collet setup.

My neighbor bought a new hitch receiver that bolts to the top of the bucket, and found he could not get low enough to get under the tongue of his dump trailer. He borrowed a stinger with a 6" drop so he could hook up the the trailer.

The manuals for most newer tractors state specifically not to use wheel weights up front. My guess is that using front wheel weights with a FEL might create an overload condition, or at least cut down safety margin of the load the axles\spindles\bearings are meant to safely carry. Some folks...

Thanks! Did a lot of preplanning, positioning them so that when I picked them up, the correct side would be down when placed. Some were wrestled out of the bucket as oriented into postion, others were rolled out and into position. Only had one get away from me, and it did no damage, I just had...

They are pretty solid, and the bigger ones cannot be moved without mechanical help, the smaller ones I can knock down by hand, but I doubt a kid could. Besides. they will soon be fenced in.

Back in the 70s, the local phone company trenched in landlines across the front of my property, pruning out some pretty big rocks. (1st pic) They were right where our new fence was going to go, so I had the fence contractor use his (big) backhoe to move the largest five across our drainage water...

Scooped up & loaded 6 FEL buckets of waste dirt/rock and hauled it to our local rock/dirt disposal pit. It was a mix of dirt, river rock, roots, landscaping fabric, and rotted wood, hence it wasn't much good for fill on my property, so I got rid of it.

I hear you. When I built mine, it took a lot of time & effort, and mine was nowhere near as bad. Hopefully someone will come along with the time, equipment, & motivation to tackle this one. Maybe if I ever catch up with all my tasks I will do it myself.

Me too....
