I've been busy with the backhoe digging for a koi pond, which includes a filter/pump pit (5x8x5 deep), waterfall/filter house (4x10x7 tall), and then the pond (6000 gallons or so). Pond not yet dug. But thought some photos of "Kioti effects" might be entertaining.

Gotta have the tractor in there.

Looks like a well planned pond. And good backhoe work. Looking forward to more pics

Nice project. And I like seeing a picture of a dirty tractor!

Nice project and a quality dig. The right tractor for that job!

To continue thread. Got the filter/pump pit footer poured. Concrete Block delivered (this when I wish I had a CK40). Will start laying tomorrow.
