JWK - I have dug foundations, dug up septic lines with my B21 and the slab on grade pad for my barn with 18x24" trench all around and poured as one with rebar.
We have ledge and glacial till here on the coast - rocks 2' to 3'. I bought a "2 ton" diesel mini excavator which weights in at 3500LB - which are decent little machines. it's my rock loader to the tractor bucket. You can get them on ebay for $9-11K - 1.8 Ton Mini Excavator KUBOTA D902 Diesel Engine 16 hp for sale online | eBay
The Mini will do the job but you need a tractor and loader to move dirt and stone piles as the mini is too slow travel wise.
