[QUOTE="Rafter E, post: 96874, member: 1549"] Last week I dug out our 2 ponds, after sitting dry for 4 months, maybe 5. I rented a 4WD Cat backhoe. Cleaning up around the outer edges worked great, but problems began to limit my effectiveness. The pond near the house has a very hard bottom, if I had more time I could have used the bucket end and dug it deeper, but used the loader end and made little progress. The pond near the barn was another story...mud. Hiding under the 'dry' pond was a clay muck that I got stuck in repeatedly. Wanted to make it deeper, no way to do it short of a big front end loader or dozer. It looks great now, lotsa places all the way around for the cattle to drink, and for us to barbeque...but its not much deeper than before I started [/QUOTE]
