    final shape gravel, lots of big rock

    Try to bang 'em down or break 'em up with the roller. This helps but doesn't get rid of them all. I'll usually wind row whatever I can't get out and have a loader pick 'em up.

    tractor pans or scrapers which do you like better

    Have you seen the K-Techs. They are a newish company out of Canada. Great pans, I would put them up against anything. They have done tons of homework and have improved the engineering. We ran ours with a Case and no probs, just stay out of the rock.

    cement stabilized base

    dozerdave has one answer, the machine is called a reclaimer (CAT Model RM 300), I have also just processed the material like base. The other way I have used is to windrow your base, and work the cement and water in by turning your windrows over. The cement can be delivered by belly dumps. I...

    Trimble or Topcon?

    If you are looking around try ICM out of Ark. Their system combined with Carlson's grade supervisor.
