Auto Re-set & rocks

We classify rocks according to size....table, basketball, football. Found and pulled out two table rocks with the new to me ripper last night. Table rocks are of the size that won"t fit under the kitchen table! Ripper teeth are 30 inches apart, and with each one, two adjacent teeth pulled out the rock. Ground is hard and dry, turns up pretty chunky.
 
I would be willing to bet - You could not pull
that setup a Hundred feet in any of my fields here
in New England.
The only time we see soil like that is when it
comes in a bag to plant flowers LOL.
 
We have a lot of rocks and used White 4 and 5 bottom spring reset plows. They worked pretty good. Every now and then we had to raise and backup.
Used to pick rocks and throw then in hedgerows for days. Quite a few years ago bought a rock picker to mount on a Case Skidsteer. Then we could load 8 to 10 tons of rocks in 15 minutes.
The funny thing is I had a lot of people suddenly start appearing that wanted to buy the rocks. That never happened before. Then it dawned on me the saw the rocks on the truck and not in the hedgerows.
 
That ain't a rock. This is a rock....

Dug that out with my backhoe for my BIL and nephew last year. 15 acre field and 47 rocks to dig out. That was the biggest. I dug 8 out that size from a 5 acre field for a friend.

It looks like you just dug the hole deeper beside the rock, and plan to roll it down in there, to get it below tilling level. (no rock pile)

That's exactly what I did with that one. I've pulled out and moved rocks that sized but the BIL didn't want it out so I did what he wanted. There is a good 5' of dirt on top of that rock now. That was one field last year. This year I did another for him. Nothing that big but I hit clusters. One rock they had marked would up being 28 rocks from soccer ball sized to about 3 foot across. There were 4 clusters like that. Got a big job next fall. Moving a rock pile and taking some trees out for him. Guess he's lucky that I only make him put fuel in it.
