setting heavy retaining wall stone

[SCOTTJAY]

I did several searches but cant find an answer to my question. I'll be building two seperate retaining walls soon. The walls will start at 6 ft. high and taper down to about 1 ft. and will be about 30 ft. long each. I will be using outcropping stone from Buechel Stone Corp. The heaviest stones will weigh about 900 pounds each. Would I set these with a skid steer with pallet forks? Any tips or tricks would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Skid steers might work well if the ground conditions aren't too sloppy. Otherwise, some sort of a telehandler. Someone here loves the JCB 520, so I'll put that up. Other small telehandlers from Bobcat, Cat, or Gehl would do the trick as well. Of course -- the biggest decider of the machine applicable would be what your working conditions are. (Mud, slopes, no room to manuver, finished surfaces, obstacles, etc)
