I have been absolutely amazed at the size of the rocks my box blade equipped Ford 641D will unearth! My box blade has 5 adjustable for depth ripper bars that will catch on the big rocks. Then driving forward and lifting the 3 point pulls the rocks out of the ground. Some of them must weigh a ton. My loader will not lift the larger ones, but is effective in shoving them along the surface once they are loose.

You might want to be a little careful though. I am not sure if working it so hard has damaged my hydraulic pump. The system is not moving as fast as it was before I started using the box blade. My hydraulic oil obviously had some moisture in it, but changing the oil didn't bring back the former speed of operation. Good luck, I sure like the box blade.
