Doug, try lowering one side of your box scraper all the way and raising the opposite side all the way. Now with your box scraper at a pretty steep angle, lower the ripper on the low side to the lowest position. Rip slowly in rocky soil and you will be able to move all but the biggest rocks. The tilted end of the box scraper will remove a good amount of the dirt the ripper is loosening leaving a V in the ground with loose dirt in the bottom of it. I have done a lot of shallow trenches this way. You will be surprised how deep a trench you can do this way. You just don't get clean sides. 900 feet shouldn't take more than 20 to 30 minutes depending on what size tractor you have. Sometimes going back over it with just the scraper tilted and the ripper raised will remove even more dirt once it has been loosened up.
Hope this helps.
