Canyoncreek, I do plan to dig some deeper holes in the big pond and do some other work around there, it currently averages 6'-7' deep. I'll try to get some pictures sometime. I currently use that pond for duck/goose hunting, several hundred ducks use it daily. I'm also planning to dig an additional small pond mostly for fishing and swimming, it will be in the 1 to 1.5 acre range. I don't think I'll be ready for fish yet this spring.

Bassmaster61, it is a Cat 215B LC, right around 40,000 lbs. and was built in 1985. One of the guys in the club has a full set of manuals he is sending me, I hope to have those in the next week or so. Depending what you get you could pick up something similar in the $15,000 to $30,000 range.

Snrub, that RD6 sounds interesting, too bad I already have several other projects lined up! LeTourneau made some interesting things, I have an Airborne pan scraper built by them that I really enjoy. Thanks.
