Pond BUILD! Day 2- sketchy

What happens here

The construction of the pond necessitates the careful maneuvering of a massive boulder, weighing an estimated 4 tons. This requires the synchronized operation of two Kubota excavators (a KX040-4 and an SVL 97-2), along with multiple team members guiding the boulder using heavy-duty straps. Extreme caution and coordination are essential due to the boulder's immense size and weight, pushing the equipment and human effort to their limits for precise placement.

Goal: Precisely place a 4-ton boulder using a coordinated effort of two excavators and manual guidance.
