we really need a pic of the ass dragging, unless you got some air bags back there. thats a bit more then shes rated for easy.

ive got them coil air bags. pulled a trailer out of the garage for a friend one day. the work trucks were more trouble to un hook and use, so im like we'll just use the hoe, as we're dropping the trailer on the ass just hit the ground pretty much. so i jacked it back up. aired up the bags to 35 psi, and she dropped maybe two inches. i was indeed impressed. first time i had actually used them.

Worth it, except for the charge for being trans. ;)

Seriously, it's great to get rid of that stuff!
I probably could have done it cheaper if I hauled the rocks to a recycler but I just wanted it all gone. I need to make room under my covered patio for house contents when I get the new carpet installed starting in a couple weeks. I’m splitting that up into 3 days, each a week apart mostly because that’s how it works into the installers schedule but also that helps me as far as clearing the areas out. Furniture will have to be removed from each area of the house as he needs. First is the great room and the stairs up to the middle landing,then the next week is the living room and 2 downstairs bedrooms, then finally the master bedroom and walk-in closet. I have 4 couches, 3 are recliners so they’re heavy and there’s lots of stuff that I’ll move onto the patio to make room for the big stuff to be moved into adjoining rooms. I hope the king size mattress I have upstairs fits into the master bathroom up there because it’s no fun moving it up the stairs.

Auto level FTW. I have hauled more weight- wise when I did 3 loads of old bricks and one was pushing a ton. These pics are from today. It sat down a bit until I started the engine and it pumped it up.

People will come pick up free rocks. Rocks are expensive if you are trying to buy them.
I went and picked up free broken pieces of concrete once, and made a decent looking retaining wall.
You’re right. I was originally thinking about using them myself but then I decided I had seen them on my fireplace mantel for 15 years and didn’t like them when they were inside the house and I really didn’t want to see then anywhere outside so I decided I wanted them gone. They had mortar on one side too but I’m sure that could have been chipped off.

Decided to drive it today and run a few errands. It's also time for the biennial emissions test, so after work I took it through the test station. Sometimes they just connect and read from the OBD port, but this time they put it on the treadmill and ran it a bit; that way we get actual measurements. I'm running a high percentage of E85, and the test results were great:
