All this pond work makes me glad I have a camp on a natural lake. Spring fed. No maintenance. No issues. :)

There is a pretty decent draw on my property that swings around to a fairly narrow pinch point. Could a person just build a damn at the pinch point to build a pond or does the entire thing need to be graded down smooth? My guess is it would make a four or five acre pond👍🇺🇸

Hi Chris I hadn't read the comments before and was thinking it would only take one miss placed bucket for the scratch and dent section to win L.O.L. I did that this week with my machine. We're digging and repairing a wallowed out access road at the back of our hog barns before we get more rain, and it looks like that pond bottom after 3". What came at the machine and partly in the back window had a high pig $#!t content mixed in with the wet clay. !. Thats some stuff you wouldn't throw your worst enemy in for fun !!!!!!!. He won that contest but we all know you're the best operator for everything else, Just ask Sany .
