mossie, I built my first 10,000 cubic yard dam with a 3 yard pan and a 40hp box blade tractor, most of the "good ole boys" thought that I was nuts. The lake covers about 2 acres and is 15 feet deep at the dam. I asked lots of questions and discarded at least half of the answers through common sense. Having the right equipment for the job can usually be remedied by more time spent or different weather.
