Howdy 3f....welcome!
We have some really good dirt guys that will be able to offer advice. This shouldn't take long to get some feedback to roll.
I only know what I've seen from the sidelines, but if you have alot of dirt to move and you have the tractor to pull it, I'm thinkin' a pan scraper might be the likely DIY piece of equipment you seek.
Can you provide more detail on the project? Maybe an aerial of the parcel and (more importantly) a topo map with the proposed pondsite marked? Of course, for your own privacy, try to remove the location details from your picture posts.

(edit; btw, I forgot....WOW, 25 FREAKIN' ACRES!)
