I have posted this is the past so I appoligize if
it is too familiar.
I have used a sheet of plywood 3/4" X 2X3' with
a 2X6 bolted to one end with a chain fastened
to the bottom of the 2X6 - roll or slide the rock
on the plywood and when pulling on the chain
the plywood bends enough to go over most
bumps.
The other thing I have used is a chain basket.
Think of it this way. Take two light truck tire
chains laid side by side with the distance
between the two chains equal to the width of
the cross chains. The existing cross links in
each chain are attached to every fourth link on
the side chains. Attach extra cross links to the
second link between each cross chain
connecting the two sets of chains. This gives
you a chain net that can be draped around the
rock and is more secure than trying to wrap a
chain directly around the rock. By looping a
tow chain through to corners of the net once it
is around the rock you can close the basket
and have an easy way to lift the rock.
Be careful, rocks are heavy.
