Hi All
We have a wet spring that flows most of the year. It currently flows through a tile to a creek at the back of our lower 40.
For my Birthday I bought myself a new John Deere 790 with a 419 FEL. My wife has requested that I use my new toy to dig a pond ( 15ft.x 10ftx 3ft deep )adjacent to her perennial bed where the spring bubbles from the earth.
I am planning to fabricate a tooth bar similiar to those described in the Build it yourself forum. Will I as a novice utility tractor operator be wise to attempt digging this pond? Should I call in the backhoe guys? I have lots of time and enjoy using my new toy that goes whirrr and goes clunk. It might be more interesting than moving 25 yards of mulch, which has been my largest project to date.
Thanks for your advise.
