[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 35683, member: 307"] Not really Brian. It is just pit run boulders, overs that would not go through the crusher. We brought them down a few at a time, from our staging area duo to space limitations below. Eye balled them up and plunked them in. A few had to be swapped out here and there as we went because they just did not fit. However 90+ % went in the first try. The boom swing on the mini ex was a real asset allowing us to rotate the rocks. A little bar work and the majority could be made to sit tight with the center of gravity pulling them back towards the bank. Fill with gravel behind and keep piling. We were mostly limited by the reach of the mini and what it could lift. I asked for 18 to 30” material, but we ended up with a few in the 40” plus range, that we could not handle. Also the higher we went the less the mini can lift and running out of stroke on the main boom was a problem. I had to lift over the blade and use it to tilt the house to extend my reach. [/QUOTE]
