Thanks Dave. I appreciate the info. I wasn't sure if tires would be bad for the water some way.
And thanks RockvilleMDAngler. I do get a lot of satisfaction from doing my own thing. It takes longer than hiring it out, but when you get done, you can look at it and feel proud that you did it yourself. I kind of hated having my neighbor use the trackhoe to dig out the channel in the middle, but my little dozer just couldn't break into the rock shelf.
Once I get moved out there and get all settled into the new house and shop, I will be starting on the new pond that should be about three or four times the size of this little one. Then I can start growing some fish for the enjoyment of catching later on. Hurry up retirement. :-)
