Default What is a good way to move compacted dirt?

I have a 3 foot high planter with about 20 yards of compacted dirt in
it. Its really compacted. I went at it with a jack hammer and my 7 hp
tiller and moved about 3 yards of it in the hot sun. I want to remove
the dirt on the planter and spread it around evenly around the yard
but at this rate it will take about 7 days assuming if I don't die in
the heat.

I guess I need to rent a Bobcat.


Soaking it thoroughly will loosen things up. And make them heavier.
