Goodmorning folks. I am looking for some advice in the most effective way to remove rocks to allow for planting. Let me explain my goal and the equipment at my disposal ( my fleet ). I have mountain property in pennsylvania, very rocky and in a hollow with a creek running thru. The most level areas are creekside, some of which I would like to plant in food plots for deer and cutting with brush hog. The rocks range from the size of a brief case to that of a magazine and smaller and 2-4" thick. I would estimate 20% of what I dig is rock. I have a small dozer (6 way blade) - A B7100 kubota - ford 1700 /FEL- attachments available are a 5' bear blade, 5'landscape rake and brush hog ( of no use at this point) We have tried loostening up 6 or so inches with the dozer and pushing off the rock but we're also getting rid of a lot of the soil. We've tried the landscape rake on the 7100, it moves away some rock while uprooting others,so it's not clearing as well as we would like. In the past we did it mostly by hand , we're not getting any younger and would like to use more diesel than back if you know what I mean. Do I have the correct equipment and attachments ? Do I need other attachments ? Is our sequence of work allright ? Does anyone need any rock---- no charge---unlimited supply !!!
Thanks in advance for any advice.
