This rock seemed small at first and the rock grew fast and still growing. The rock is the size of a Ford 3000. I don't think my Ford 4500 will pull or push this thing out.

I have a rock on my place that I can shake with my backhoe which is on an 8N but the Cat 950 40,000lbs loader will not even begin to move it

Yes it would. It would be a pain to use dynamite around here, all of the permits you would have to pull.

Dig a hole next to it about 2 or three feet deeper than the rock. Roll rock in. 300 years from now it will be someone else's issue. I had a
neighbor that took out a 150,000 pound rock. A week of vacation wasted on rented property!!!! Jim

I dont think my backhoe would go down that far. I need to take a tap measure, but I think its at least 6 ft tall and 9 ft long. The rock doesnt want to budge with the backhoe

Just tipping it sideways would do it. it might take some diging, but few are found standing like Stonehenge (been there). Digging as deep as
you can next to it will be in the best interest of low cost, and safety. Even renting a medium track hoe might be cheaper than getting access
and insurance for explosives. Jim

Another idea if it will not tip over! I have seen this work if the directions are followed. it would take a good rock drill to place several
bore holes as directed. Cheap!! Jim

I was also thinking about a jack hammer. I could get a team of backhoes and tractors? maybe.

There's a bunch of products that will break it up. Here's a link to one of them. Check them out on YouTube and figure out which one might work best.
