End goal for the pond was a little more than the tractor my size could efficiently handle with weather and time available to work on it. I ended up doing some hard and serious thinking and am no longer digging it to be a pond but a ice rink for the winter.
@@lscanothern2493 I bought it instead of the 12”. I can get full scoops of heavy wet clay with the 16” if you plan on doing a lot of hoe work get a few different buckets for different jobs it’s a lot neater to use a 12” over a 16 for doing water lines etc
Too bad you don't have teeth on your loader bucket. I hope your not getting any rock in your dam as that will create voids which will leak plus if you don't have a good clay bottom for compaction in the bottom of the pond with all the rock you're digging up it won't hold water especially in dry periods. I learned from the very first small pond I built.
