We do, more in some fields than others, but it could be worse. Most is tolerable, but I do know some fields that have some dense areas of those hard round rocks and stones. It would be the strangest thing during spring tillage, not to hear a disc harrow or other secondary tillage clanking along through these soils, its enough to overshadow the sound of a tractor at times, they are synonymous to tillage work. I never found it all that bad to be picking the fields, removing larger ones, it will keep you fit, and those piles at the end of the fields, + larger ones, may just bring some money. I dug out a huge boulder with an '02 JD 450 dozer in '09. The farmers son, has a landscaping business, and I believe he sold that one. I tried with the loader, no sense trying any further, had to stop, was not worth damaging something on the tractor or loader. Next morning, took all of 10 minutes to get it out and pushed off the field. Guy that owned it, was bringing clean fill to a low area, a ravine, NYSDEC permitted dump site, so the dozer had been left on site to periodically push it off, here's that boulder 150 yds away, owner was gracious enough to allow myself and any of the farmers sons the use of it.
Some areas in the mountains, nothing but boulders, yet much of the land was in crops or cleared into fields at one time, given the miles of stone walls.
