Yes Lanse, those Concrete Masonry Units (CMU) you have placed under that tractor, are in no way designed to be used like that, even more so with the cells orientated horizontally. This material is offered in many shapes, sizes and compressive strengths, the latter being the most important. Not to lecture, and for those who "do this all the time" I will stand firm and say it is very dangerous, if they fail under compression, it's falling over. Even with high strength block, 5000 psi certified, with the cells 75% filled, ( which is not the case in the video) you are still taking a serious risk, others may see this and think it's ok to do the same. That is a relatively light tractor, but I've seen people on these kinds of forums use CMU under much heavier tractors like crawlers, just a friendly bit of advice, make up some hardwood timber cribbing for blocking, similar to what is still commonly used for falsework, to support heavy loads, as well as not having the ability to roll out of the stack. She's looking good there, coming right along.
