How deep is your topsoil?
You need to be just in the bottom of it, typically 14 or 16 inches around here.
I think the mole itself was 2.5 inches, and the expander was 4 inches diameter.
95hp is loads of power, it's all about the grip you have.
You need to do it when the land is at its driest, if your cutting tracks with the wheels, you're causing more problems than you're solving.
