suggest an excavator instead of a dozer. not only is it easier to get one out by itself when it gets stuck but also can work much larger areas without having to move. suggest building pads with logs or trees you cut down and dig as much as possible from as few locations as you can. also try to make an initial drainage until you get most dug then dam it back up to fill. i had a wide track dozerMr. Patrick, I have watched Squatch 253, along with Dirt Perfect. Both provide high value content on dozers and I've watched enough of them to start thinking "I should try that..."!
The pond is planned to be 20 to 25 feet at the deepest...it's an area that has some springs and stays wet all summer...unusable otherwise.
Which is a blessing for keeping it filled long-term...but a curse for digging out all the clay soil it's sitting on.
It WILL be very soft initially. Still researching how to do it, and if it's going to require "expert" level credentials to not make it a dozer burial ground.
Thanks for the information above...greatly appreciate it.
and could go across spring areas once or twice in the same area but working those areas is almost impossible, it turns to quicksand like mud. A stuck dozer is no fun.
