Phew. Took a little while getting here again. FWIW, I think if the rock was dragged to where it is by tractor, then it can also be dragged onto a trailer. On the other end, tie the rock to a tree, and drive the trailer away.
Use some thick plywood on the ramps. Use chocks on the trailer wheels when loading. Use plywood and round posts for less destruction of the trailer deck. It won’t be pretty. It’ll probably work. Stay clear. But if you kill yourself, just know that some of us will feel bad about that. And some of us figure you deserve whatever outcome results. Some of us, it seems, are fairly certain we don’t care what happens to anybody but ourselves. Which doesn’t give me any warm fuzzy feelings about our advice.
Where I live, big rocks and concrete barriers are fairly common deterrents employed in the battle of keeping tractor trailers out of roads not built for them. Yet Ive been told that brick mailboxes aren’t allowed in areas where teens may entertain themselves by destroying said mailbox. We want to keep them alive and healthy long enough to be adults I reckon.
This summer a ten year old girl on a bicycle ran straight into my mailbox. She came away with some scuffs, but the box looked like a car hit it. Lol. I was happy to see the mailbox was the only thing needing repair.
Off topic; but I often see houses built right at the middle of a curve. Basically as if some schmuck never considered building a house there would endanger its occupants for all time. In those cases, I must say, my judgement is nearly always aimed at the home buyer. What idiot would buy a house on a highway curve? But again, your situation doesn’t seem anything like that.
Also, I’m still a bit jealous you have access to a giant free rock. At the same time finding it hilarious that many of us DO have to pay silly money to get ourselves such a thing. A thing which often finds itself right where nobody wants it to be, and then sold, and carted off by someone who wants it to be in the way of other things somewhere else. Ha!
Also, the best thing I accidentally drove through (as a passenger of a drunk driver) was a freshly plowed field. It probably saved my life. But the speeds in your case probably wouldn’t make that feasible. Lol
