The price was less than $500 when my Dad bought his, but you have to load the piles by hand or with a front end loader.


And rocks are heavy!  You know, this is why so much land in New England that was once cleared has now become reforested.  Farmers here got tired of harvesting ROCKS!  You can walk in the woods around here and see everywhere stone walls that originally enclosed farmland.
