I'll bring the eggs and tomatoes/snags.

I like this Wishfull. They were common in the day when small farms had done away with the horse and couldn't afford a tractor. I've been looking at a similar thing to tow behind the big Cat to break up the lumpy clay. The only problem is the $100,000 price tag and the Cat doesn't have a PTO of sufficient power to run it. I've been considering how I could build one with a big diesel engine mounted on top and just use the Cat to pull it.

Could try a hydraulic driven tiller like on a Bobcat. Could mount a set of rippers in front for real hard ground.

The 6.6L Cat simply doesn't have sufficient power to run it. I have trouble shaving a thin layer off the ground. If I try to dig a bit deep then all I get is lumps and they'll fall right off the top screen. If I had a way to break down the lumps quickly and easily then I could rip it. Of course I'd have to get or build a ripper.

The ground is extremely hard and it really needs a bulldozer to push it. The top few inches are ok but all that gold has gone. I need to get to the top of the bedrock about 300mm down.
