WOW. Impressive.. I have a skid steer and tracks. I am planing on building a pond about the same size... Some questions:
How many hours did you put on the Sidsteer building it? What type of breaks and wear did such work cause on your skid steer? what size bucket did you have? did you have teeth on your bucket? what would you do different if you did it with a sidsteer all over again?

Thank you for your example and photos... you are an insperation
