lifting small boulders? [View all]
I have some small boulders in the back yard, sitting on a pallet. I need to move it to the front yard to do some DIY landscaping.
A strong guy could lift the boulders. I'm not that person. Are there other ways to safely transport the boulders? I was thinking of getting a landscaping hand truck -- push the rock into it, but since I have to move it up a slight slope, that may be too much to handle.
Another option is to get a small but strong cart for my troy-bilt mini rider lawn tractor. (I already have a plastic dump cart but don't want to risk breaking it.) I could move the rocks one at a time, if needed, but need a cart that's low enough and tilts so I could roll the boulder into it.
Any suggestions? I dont want to hire anyone to do it since I'm on a tight budget, so it's something i need to do myself.
