Well, it's hard to say. What does a lot of rock look like? I have quite a bit on the surface, but after about 18 inches there seems to be much less. That is of course where I have dug down 18" so it's my best guess that as I go deeper, my clay gets better and my rock content lessens.

I won't have to go too deep with the exception of the key in the dam because this is a gully that will be reshaped and dammed. Most excavation will be on the sides and this is where the fill for the dam will come from (most of it anyway. I may have to bring some in from a nearby hill). Luckily, its also where my axtell soils are and they are the ones that hold better and have higher clay content.

esshup: I guess the rake will work as fast as I do smile I am going to buy a 7 footer and run it with my tractor.

Thanks again guys.
