[QUOTE="wingspar, post: 1069, member: 176"] Thanks for the reply 500k. I mentioned the lumps because I was assuming that topsoil had a $ and that it would be best to leave it at the site, preferably under the sod. It would also be hard to separate the dirt from the rock later, but that depends on how people dispose of that stuff. Having said that, I can see where lumps, especially the larger ones, would not be good for a seedbed. I guess if I were in the business I would till and work the soil enough to eliminate the lumps before raking for rocks. As for the size issue I didn't think a 3/4" rock would bother anyone, but maybe that's not true. The rake seems to pull a lot of plain dirt into the bucket when raking, and I think that is due to the teeth spacing. So you liked the soil conditioner. I'm assuming you ran a Bobcat soil conditioner. Have you taken a look or even tried any other brands, like Woods, Harley or Quick Attach? I hear lots of good things about the Harley, but other brands might have their advantages too. How deep to you generally run your soil conditioner? Do you run the engine wide open with that too?
