Is that a "dump dozer" in the picture? Never seen one of those but it looks like something I'd like to have...being an amateur pond builder myself.
It's a rubber tracked off-road truck and its ideal for these situations as it can run through sloppy muck at a depth of 3-4 feet and with 4 ft wide treads it won�t 'pump' saturated soils so you don't end up with huge ruts and a lot of clean up after you�re finished hauling. It has a large bed capacity and the tailgate is gravity released so you just go to your spot and pull the lever. We�re building a terrace off our hill with the material coming out of the pond.
Anyone have any aeration tips? I was looking to buy an electric compressor and run several diffuser stones off it. How many HP should I go with and what are the best quality brands? I need to cover about 300 feet with hose so take that into consideration with any advice. Also I'm planning in mounting it in the boathouse or pumphouse so size is a consideration.
Thanks in advance,
KC
