You should be able to dig enough dirt from around each rock with the loader to loosen it. Sandy soil should be easy to dig. Once you get the rock loose you have the option to get it on the loader or wrap a log chain around it and pull it out using the drawbar.

When I carry really heavy rocks on the loader I keep the loader about 3 inches off the ground while transporting. I just dump the rocks in an old river bed or a nearby swamp whichever is closer. (half of the state of Wisconsin is swampland so they're easy to find). Intentionally hooking rocks out is another story. I've found that a Brillion 3 pt subsoiler is the perfect tool. Un breakable. I've never even sheared a pin on it and I've hooked up hundreds of rocks from the size of a football to several feet in diameter.
