Well....
I'd eliminate the lightweight tiller and the sod cutter and the trencher. That leaves the heavyduty tiller....which was my first thought anyway.
I want to dig a rectangle in a hay field 1 foot deep, 10 feet long and 3 feet wide. The idea is to get all of the hay out, roots and all. This has been a huge problem since I started gardening down there. I have an 18" heavy duty tiller and a lightweight 9" tiller. My local Home Depot also has a trencher for rent for a reasonable price for a day. There's also a sod cutter for rent. I have never used either of these. It's not worth it to me to rent a Bobcat.
What would you use? Any of these things? All of them? Something else?
Thank you.

Got any neighbors that own a backhoe and would do you a favor? Small job for that.

I would use the big tiller. Couple of passes and dig out the dirt. Couple of more passes, dig out the dirt. Rinse and repeat. Then you're not battling going deep all at once. Can you get ahold of any old tin roofing for the sides. You would have to be very careful about the top, would need to be folded over as it's very sharp. Or bury deep enough that you can use a timber at the very top or some other type of edging. Line the bottom with the kraft paper. The more holes the tin has on the lower side the better so drainage. The upper 4 inches or so would need to be solid to help with root suppression from the hay. Douse the cut edge of the cut well with vinegar to start a kill zone.
