We’re going to build a stone cabin with a Cat 306… I have been racking my brain for a while on how to place large rocks with precision and I want to thank you for this video… super helpful!
Great video showing all the different straps and methods! That's some mega boulder pond building going on there at end of the video! We have access here in Ottawa-Gatineau, 🇨🇦 to some really neat Canadian Shield Granite boulders with amazing coloration!😉
Great video. One thing I didn't see is how do you get the straps off the boulder once it's been placed. It appeared the straps were underneath the boulder.
Nice video. My only suggestion is that you talk about breaking straps. That strap breaking at your artists of the years build at Pondo was intense and flung grit and debris at bystanders. Of course Alan barely flinched (if at all, lol). Also, when do you take a strap out of service? I have a few raggedy straps I should probably toss, but I save them for smaller rocks when all my other straps are in use. Maybe strapping material bags would be good to show too. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and beautiful work!
Thank you so much for making this video! Can I ask what exactly do you mean when you say "the eye" is that where the looped strap tightens together? Or is that the part of the rock you want facing a particular direction? Also, when talking about straps, can you explain what a choker is? Thank you!!
I thought they were hoist straps. Towing straps don't hold enough weight or are only safe for dragging. And recovery straps are stretchy and springy and not meant for either.
Hey guys! I’m 60 year old lady. My Grandmother’s house was made out of large rocks. They tore it down and I would love to have a few in my yard to preserve my memories. I can’t figure out how to get them off the ground and in my pickup truck. They aren’t as big as your boulders. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
I’ve moved a lot of boulders and ruined my share of expensive slings before changing over to chain slings. Use a 100 grade chain with a couple 100g connectors and it will last forever. You will also be within industrial standards for overhead lifting.
@@deckerspondscapes9291 Yes, I replayed the video and looked closer at the final placement. That rubber sheeting wouldn't work well with chained boulders.
This video was very helpful. I find that the combination of my thumb expansion and claw work really well for single-handedly moving rocks of the size shown in your video. I also prefer to use my three directional lifting receiver instead of a bucket hook for strap-based lifting (as shown in this video). ruclips.net/video/byKdDOWcMbU/видео.html
Lol...yeah...you have a tractor...what is the clever advice?? You could just leave a five second video and say "Get a 2-ton tractor". Oh brother!!! 😅😅😅😅😅

Thanks for following. Mega boulders are what its about!
Vana's bananas .SERIOUS EDUCATION!!! THANK-YOU
Thank you for watching
Love the Tech Tips!!! Thank you
Thank you for watching
Great video, learned alot !
That’s great
Another great video. I'm loving these educational videos.
Glad you like them!

Great team thanks...
Great video. Can you post links to the various straps you use?
And also ... what is the attachment on the excavator to which you hook the straps? Sorry for the newbie comment....

Thanks so much!
Our pleasure
what size kubota is that
057
What are those type of straps called?
Continuous loop

Missed opportunity - should have said "are you ready to ROCK"
Awesome

Do they make a steel claw device to grab a hold of and lift rocks, logs, etc.?
@@DanielSmith-ez9ox not sure what you mean

Get what your saying but rubber liners and chains don’t mix
Over 30 yrs doing this and would much rather use straps

Chains also slide more on rock than slings.
The guy on the right looks like Paul Rudd. Sounds like him too.
