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.
