POND day 4, Hell breaks lose

What happens here

A discussion highlights the process of moving the pond's largest boulder. This required the coordinated effort of two skid steers (a Kubota SVL 97-2 and a Bobcat S185) working in tandem, demonstrating the precise and powerful operation needed for heavy lifting. The boulder is carefully maneuvered into its final position, passing through a narrow gap, which required a high level of operator skill and communication.

Goal: Position the largest boulder in the pond using tandem heavy equipment.
