Wow, I am so glad I found this site. Hello to all!
Well here's a little history. I have 55 acres and quite a bit of it is wet (high water table). They had dug a 30'x60' hole to get dirt for around my house and to build up my drive (house is 750' from road). It is actually in a good location and I have been able to watch this hole for six years now and and I am now ready to expand it. Recently a friend and I perchased an old bantam dragline crane on a 6 wheel carrier. We have been doing research on building ponds, but I would like to hear from someone who has actually dug ponds with a dragline, and what is the best way to proceed.
I'm sure there may be somthing in the archives as well.
Thanks, and I'm looking forward to utilizing this site.
