The best way to move rocks (excluding a bucket on a tractor) is a sled.
Just a piece of 1/8 steel sheet with the curved up front edge. Pulled
by a riding lawnmower. Roll the stones on and roll them off.

Best thing I ever "invented" was using an old truck hood as a sled. Used it
for transplanting bushes with large dirt balls on them. Just roll them on
and off the hood. Punched two holes in the front of the hood, used a short
piece of chain as a bridle, and pulled it with the truck or tractor. The
front of the hood was turned up (down) so it moved very easily. Hood also
had a ridge down the middle so it tracked straight.
Never did put a patent on it so you are free to use it. :-)
sounds like in the 50's my dad had this old car, the seats in it well,
they were not in it so he used some old time milk cases, the wooden ones
with the sheetmetal bracking on them.. they workd for sitting in a car
to drive it as it was just about the right height to drive.. i dont
think he patented it either..... but dont try that today as there would
be problems attaching a seat belt to those old milk cases....
