Ya, I bet I won't have trouble finding some buddies to help dig will I? I don't know where I can rent one that big but I figured if it could be done faster then I would get some quotes to have someone haul one in and do the digging. There is a small construction company in the area that has something that looks like about that size. It's a different make so I'm not sure but it has about a 14 or 16 foot wide blade with about 4 or 5 foot wide tracks. Looking at the size of that thing I'd think it could move my dirt in a day or two. Might be worth the price versus renting anything for 6 or 8 days. From what I've seen they will just quote me a price per day and tell me that they'll dig until they are done or until my budget runs dry. That's usually how they do ponds around here. So I really need to know which way is the quickest especially before I hire someone. Of course anyone I talk to no matter what type of equipment will tell me they can do the job, they just won't quote how long it will take nor whether there is a better set of equipment than what they have available. So I'm kinda on my own to figure out the best aproach and then compare renting versus hiring.
