Good job, Justin!

Reminds me of some of the ones I tangled with when I built my house in Minnesota. The soil in McLeod county is excellent for growing big rocks! ;D

What did he use to move it, or dig around it?
 Are the white parts scratches ?

A Fiat Allis 21C, John Deere 950J, and a Hitachi 270 trackhoe. The marks 754 on this rock are from the dozer blades. I think Justin said the buckets were not big enough on any of that equipment to hold that size of rock. When he first started pushing dirt all he saw was just a piece of it no bigger than your fist he said.

 My cousin asked a friend at a quarry for a rock to put next to his driveway to fill the mudhole where people cut the turn short. One day he came home to a 5'er parked there. They dug a hole and buried part of it so he could see to leave the drive.  Not even close to that one , W0W.
