Giant Turd Heh, got to drive my grandfathers tractor, which also convinently had a scoop. I had access to a little creek... you can see where this went, many days building dams, trenches and waterways around the farm, and for the grand finale, watching nature rip it all down (with my assistance) :D
You are lucky where you live, the digging always looks so good. Up here in New England it's always rocks and ledge laced with boulders the size of a 57 Buick lol. Tough on the teeth, buckets, bushings, pins and bearings all day long.
Massive amounts of birth control (essentially estrogen) enters rivers as it cant be filtered out of our sewage. It does in fact cause many reptiles and invertebrates to be born androgynous, and cause physical changes in adult specimens. Alex jones is crazy but like a broken clock, he's not always wrong
I really enjoy watching your videos . I actually had no interest or really hadn't given thought to this type of work until I started watching your videos . keep up the good work !
Nice handling of that machine. Seems like somthing fun to do. Dam you got it easy with that dirt. Here in Hawaii would have been hammering three blue rock to drain that. Nice video man inspiring makes me wanna vid some of my D9 work! ALOHA
Really fascinating to see this process, thank you! Dredging a pond can be some serious and costly work ... it's a lot easier in the long run to use preventative strategies to avoid the accumulation of bottom muck in your pond. Hydro-raking and mechanical harvesting can keep a pond healthy and beautiful. Watching hydro-raking videos can also be really satisfying to watch xD
@@Africanfrogs host a contest for whoever can catch the most fish within one day, and invite a whole bunch of people, whoever catches the most gets 250$ or something, which I imagine is cheaper than feeding all of them
I never knew a pond could be so much trouble. My pond is spring fed, and and in 10 years has never been below the top of the standpipe. In fact the only issue I have ever had, was a dead swan plugged up the standpipe, and caused the pond to over top the dam.
From past experiences I have had to go in and cut the tree's off the back side of dams cause they will make the pond or lakes leak. And had really good luck doing that. But I also ground a few stumps to. Which helped to.
that's awsome. Are you using a gopro or a gopro session if you don't mind me asking .Your videos are clear as hell buddy and you do a awsome job at your work and recording.Thank you for sharing
I remember one of the first vids of yours I ever watched was you draining a pond. The one where you had the mats and you worked your way in and drained it down! haha
It's not a good idea to have trees but if you do and they've been there for yrs. leave them alone. Depending on the soil and type of tree matters also.
im a equipment operator for tha last six years and i love it i also do renovations on homes on tha side to would not give up my operating seat for nothing in tha world
Hey! So that color is "pond dye"? I live in Florida, between Tallahassee and Pensacola. Closer to Pensacola. How can I get pond water to be clear as possible? Is it possible? Thanks!
Great video. How expensive is it to do one of the farm ponds as I am getting ready to build a homestead here in my area and once I can get some farm grants to buy the acreage needed for the bigger animals and such would love to have a farm pond for watering the animals and crops?
Go to an asphalt plant and they will give you for free the -200 grit silt which is a extra byproduct from asphalt production, perfect for bedding ponds , it’s basically fine silt almost clay , I ran a plant for 7 years and we wish we could find someone to take it , it makes awesome pond bedding , put 6” on bottom of anything you want to hold water lol , and it helps PH
Dude got bars on that little excavator Makin that shit look easy. My first time running a kobuta that size I almost flipped it on a slight hill trying to dig a stump. That arm will save your life lmao.
When I was around 10 me and my friends wanted to always have an excavator or bulldozer to clear a path in the weeds and make a fort. Never happened but it would’ve been fun
6:13 "That will drain out through the woods. I don't know where it goes but it is a long way 'til it gets to anything." How many acre-feet of water will be coming out of the lake? Will the water get to some other person's property? Will the water kill any of the trees?
