DIED the equipment you rented is actually pretty small for pond work, you dont even need a wide load permit for those items. I move equipment for a living and can tell you getting a D9 or bigger to your house is going to cost over 1k alone. It requires a superload permit and chase vehicles, or has to be diassembled and hauled in two pieces requiring two trips.
Personally I would take a week off work with a brother or someone who can help, and get a dumptruck and a 330 Cat excavator. You already have a dozer renting a bigger one is a waste. You get better rates on weekly prices than daily ones.
With an excavator and a dump truck working together and maybe a loader or backhoe you can move a LOT of dirt.
DOZERS ARE A PIA!!!! For 5k you should be able to dig the pond yourself no problem
BTW what do you plan on doing with the dirt and sand? You are not going to be able to simply hide a acres worth of dirt
