Thanks for posting.
Then again, you don't have to worry if you work this fast...

Wow this takes all of the fun out of using the tractor! The longer you are on the tractor doing fun stuff the less time you are stuck on the honey do list!:laughing:
It must have been hot working down in that hole. On the 29th, I see it hovered between 108 and 110 all afternoon.
I was a little surprised that he didn't use the loader on the backhoe; it probably has twice the capacity per load as the FEL on the Kubota.

Above info is nice to know. I'm trying to move a lot of dirt about 100 years.
I have a Ford 550 backhoe and I am trying to dig my pond down as deep as I can get it...hopefully 30 or 35 foot. I want to keep the walls as steep as I can with one pathway out (perhaps 200 feet or more long). So far I have been using the front end loader to dig. Would it be better to use the back hoe to pull down dirt from the walls before scooping it up? I can usually get a full load with one or two strikes but the ground is heavy clay with large gravel and it is getting harder. I want the pond deep to give me stable temperature water to use for geothermal system in my future house. Any advise would be appreciated.
