more questions....I guess this shows how far I'm willing to go to get this done...
How many people have built their own 2+ acre pond out of flat ground? This is why my cubic yards are so high.
I've been looking at the idea of buying a motor scraper to try to do the majority of the work. Maybe a CAT 613B (11 yard), a 615C (17 yard), or a Deere 862B (17 yard). I wonder how much of the pond can actually be done with the scraper.
I've been kicking some more math around....as an example in a 613B, say I can get 10 yards in, with a 10 minute cycle time. Thats 60 yards an hour, 600 yards in a 10 hour day. In 90 days I could move
54,000 yards. I dont know if those numbers are realistic or not...
Time I've got and have no problem using....Money I've got, but am not willing to invest the same amount that I paid for the land...
