I dug one a couple years ago with just my farm tractor and the rear blade. I got about 8 feet deep and 50 foot across in 3 days. It's actually holding water good too in an area of dirt that wasn't supposed to hold water.
Well, it's now only about 5 feet deep from sand blowing in I guess and I am draining it to make it bigger and deeper. Also it just froze clear to the bottom and killed all my fish.
Is there a better way to dig one with a tractor or do I just have to spend the cash and rent an excavator? They are extremely expensive down here to rent with all the state fees, federal fees and of course the rip off dealer fees. Over 1000 dollars a day for even a small one. I don't want a pond that bad.
