What about useing a box spring weighted with a tractor pulling it? Take a piece of pipe and run it through the boxspring, hook a chain through it and start pulling. It can be done, I know I have done it to a couple of friends ponds. To get out further you have to use more chain and it is labor intensive but,it dose work. You can pick up a boxspring at salavation army for near to nothing , burn it in a fire and the rest is easy.We have even used 3-4 boxsprings at a time wired together. Get ahold of some friends and tell them you'll buy the beer and have a cookout..lol
