Can a John Deere 240 Move this Boulder?

zooba72 ยท 2013-04-01 19:08

I realize it's probably not easy to answer this question but want to get some opinions. I need to move this rock about 75 yards and have access to a JD240. Any opinions on whether this rock is too large to move with the skid steer? I moved a rock a little smaller than this one last year with that machine without any issues. Will I simply tip forward if it's too heavy? Any chance of damaging the hydraulics? Thank you in advance!

    I have scooted ,many a rock that I couldn't pick up. And I have rolled many more by push/lift causing a roll. So yes, you can.
