pbutler: I think thurlow's estimate of 5hp per foot is quite accurate, and will probably hold true in what you are doing.

Vibra shanks can be a mean pull. We used them a lot in my area getting ready for mechanical rock picking, thus you wanted as many rocks as possible loose and on surface. At 6 to 9 inches a 13 foot model does have the ability to stop a 70 hp tractor. We only traveled about 3.5 mph loosening rocks, much faster at that depth and you started breaking shanks.
