If you plan on drawing down the pond, why not consider a home made syphon? With 6 inch PVC you'll be able to get that water level down faster, more efficiently, and faster than with any pump your likely to come across.
you'd be suprised at how fast a good pump could empty a pond that size, maybe check into renting/borrow one?
The water will drain to a low area into a stream, so finding a place for the water is not a problem. The problem is that there is also a stream feeding the pond and it only dries out for a month or so in the summer. The most I could bring the level down to is by about 3 feet. Any more and you would be pumping against the feeding stream.
Put a piano on it.:laughing:
