Another pond question or 3

Then rent it for two weeks because it’s gonna take a week to learn how to half-assed run it !

Not even close.[emoji23]

I bet it would be 30 grand to start, IF you could even find a small drag line still around. They use long reach track hoes for most of that stuff now.

I would check around and find a good dirt guy. I mean a guy that really knows how to do ponds. So many folks think they can just dig a hole and make a pond. A good dirt guy can quickly dig a few test holes and see what the clay situation is and whether or not it is worth messing with. A bit of money, but much less risk and headaches! unless you just like the challenge!!

Dale’s right on all he said in this thread.
Had mine cleaned out a couple years ago. Used a 60’ excavator, D5 and a mini excavator.

The cracks tell you about how deep your tractor will sink.

This was my first thought. When mine dried the only time in 11 I had a guy with a d6 that didn't want to do it.
