Hey smokedtires,
Most cost-effective route (which would garner a multipurpose implement) would be a nice heavy box blade...
loosen up the material with the scarifiers, the scoop it up with your bucket...
I nearly excavated a pond using this method... 18-24 inches of soil, and 36 of clay & rock in the deepest point... used the "fill" to dam up the sides of the stream bed...
Not the fastest or easiest method... but what fun "working the pit"
once the frost is out I'll finish it up & have my backyard pond... my boy will have frogs in the summer & skating in the winter! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
