For the size rocks shown a dozer with rock rake may be an option.

I have had incredibly good success using a Sundown GR40 log grapple (do you have a third function?). They aren't as popular as the EA attachments rock grapples most people have, but I think they are superior. They are lighter (you lose less lift capacity) and are narrower (it's easier to get under one rock without getting hung up on another) and cheaper ($1,300). You pay a little penalty in not being able grab brush quite as well, but even that is not a problem (see pics).

I am in the process of digging back a dirt bank that has dense clay soil, and a minefield of boulders. I use the grapple to dig out the rocks and loosen the dirt, then use a bucket with toothbar to move the dirt.

Pictures show the rock pile I have accumulated so far. (2'ish hours of work).

The small rocks were removed by hand.

It's pretty much all heavy granite.
