I have been a member for a couple of months now trying to figure out how to approach a one acre and 3 acre pond cleanout. The one acre pond has been drained for 6 months and is now ready for a trackhoe for cleanout. I have a D5 to help out and when I bought it I thought this was all I needed. Now that I am "keeping" the dozer my wife has a hard time believing I won't "keep" the track hoe. What in the world would you do with one after you dig out a pond or two? (as apposed to a dozer)
At this point I think I will be "windrowing" the muck to let it dry some before spreading, or, plan B would be to load it on a truck or scraper for hire. Does this sound reasonable? Also, I would be interested in buy/sell/trade/co-owning a track hoe for a year or so. I am in Oklahoma City.
