Bz,
Great job! Looks like you are ready for the big project! Come on down to Texas and you can practice some more...in fact, practice all you want.
Congrats and great respect for the DIY job!

Thanks everyone. I think all us guys get a great feeling out of getting a job done. I've got a lot of dirt moving and grading to do outside the pond but I can take my time with that. I'm envious of Bobad. Given the amount of work this 550 did as compared to my 350 I think the 650 would have kicked butt. I would have rented a D10 if I could have found one. Think I could have dug this pond in an hour with one of those. Your right ML, I've got a five acre spot that is going to be a pond some day and this is practice. I've only been to Texas once and I loved it. I know you have a dozer, what size is it?
Gotta get back to fishin!

Bz,
I have a Case 450C dozer which is perfect for ranch work, land/brush clearing, pond maintenance/renovation, and fence row clean-out...but not enough dozer to build a 5 acre pond from scratch in any reasonable amount of time. I'll rent the large dozer and track-hoe for larger pond building hopefully starting again this fall and continue to keep the 450 for general purpose use. They are really useful machines where property maintenance is involved.
