Digging Out And Draining The Pond

- Digging out and draining the pond. Back on the pond job where I continue to dig out the pond and get ready to drain the two smaller ponds into one big pond. Once I get the ponds drained I can dredge them out and finish shaping the entire pond. It's starting to shape up now and you can start to see how it will look when it's complete. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #pondwork
That's one heck of a place to build a home, nothing but water, stay safe, Brandon.
It will be over looking the pond
Looking good Brandon.
Thank you!
Sell all the mud to the farmer next door, most likely came off his field. Stay safe and cool in this hot weather.
🤣 that’s a good idea, I bet you are right. Yes it’s been terribly hot. I probably drink 2 gallons of water a day lol
That is a really nice dozer great video buddy 👍
Thank you! It’s been really handy
Playing in the mud, nice!
Oh yes 😁
Playin in the mud, always fun, especially when your gettin paid for it lol. That will be a good sized pond when your done👍👍👍 Keep Smilin
It does make it better knowing your getting paid for it 😁
Playin in the mud, that's always fun. That little truck has probably already paid for itself as far as convenience. It just seems like a lot of fun to operate.
Could that mud be used to fertilize the soil in the garden?
It’s very close to paying for itself now. It’s been so handy on these jobs. I enjoy running it. It’s definitely made life easier
Yes when it finally dries it will make exceptional nice topsoil full of nutrients
Good old mud!! I have 2 coming up but have to use a longreach
I should have got a long reach lol I still have mud falling off the dozer
Well, Lake ELITE is comin' right along - turtles and all! Can't believe those turtles - we did see a couple of them sort of swimmin' around. I imagine the smell coming out of this is something to behold. Nice work, as always.
Thank you! Lol there are plenty of turtles. I think they all finally found the water again cause I got all the mud out on Saturday and I haven’t seen anymore. Yes it stinks something awful lol but will make really nice topsoil when it dries
Nice job Brandon, I was yelling at you thru the screen, Turtles.. I saw 2 of them in that muck!! Hope they survived. Not sure if you saw them when you were editing or not, but they were on the far side from where you were. 🐢🐢 I always have a soft spot for wildlife.... 😊
Yes I did see them when I was editing. I scooped one up and got him to the water. I counted 25 that evening and I know I probably missed some. They were everywhere
@@eliteearthworksllc WOW... A lot of them!
Dirtdaddy tends to push the mud out when it gets that bad, or bails what he can from clean ground and swings to where he can dump it behind the dam, then dozes the mud to a spot he can reach and bail it over the dam. he has a hundred or so videos of mucking out farm ponds on his youtube channel.
Yeah Larry just lives about 30 minutes east of me. That’s kind of what I ended up doing until I filled the dam area up lol
Lot of dirt to move, nice project to watch.
Yes I’ve lost count by now lol
That looks good brother, gonna take time though for sure!
Thank you! Yes it is
Hey Brandon!!
Hope things are going well with you & the family.
That client has given you a nice fairly steady flow of work!! Those culverts in the background look sooo great!! You know me,,, stones, rip rap and asphalt!! 😂😂. I think I can see where you are going with the pond and you seem to be managing the water well. May have to pump it out at some point, a bridge you can cross when/if you get there. That’s an unusually deep pond! I like deep ponds actually, but for me, it’s about the trout! It’s funny hearing you indicate that 90F isn’t too bad,,,, that’s pretty hot here!! Hottest day of the year so far yesterday at 37C or 98.6 degrees F. That was pretty d*mn hot!! It’s a lot better today, but I’m out at the lake as well,, 😂😂. It’s always nicer her as it’s in the foothills and about 1500 ft higher than at home. 3100 ft at home and 4650 feet here. Getting close to the mile mark. You sure feel it when working a hill on the bike or even walking the pooch!! 😂 As we know,,, I’m a fair bit older than yourself,, heh heh.
I can see this shaping up. Might be nice to build up the dam in the back to creat a slope that can be mowed, but the client has to be prepared to let it dry a few months or more. I think it would be worth it in the long run being able to properly bush hog it or even pull a bit of hay off of it.
I’d be making hay with it! Do these mini round bales that horse loving friends like. They are easy to use in the barn & the feeders are those poly 45 gallon barrels cut in 1/2 with a simple 2x4 frame. I do the hay up for something to do and sell it to cover my costs only. They keep it quiet so they can get the deal and so I don’t have to deal with strangers regarding the hay. A win/win scenario. My “farm tractors” are a whopping 28 & 38 hp!! Heh heh. Both John Deeres though! The bigger tractor does the mowing and raking, they both run balers. The smallest bales with the 28 hp and the bigger tractor does the largest mini bales about 150-170 lbs or so. You can haul a lot on a 28 ft aluminum trailer (my car hauler as well,,,).
Anyways,, easy work. You have it a fair bit harder!! I bet some of that muck just smells precious!!! 😂😂😂. Better you than me! Eh! I finally had time to catch up with most of the videos I normally watch. This feeling good gets in the way of my CZcams time!😂😂.
You and yours all stay safe, Eh!
Doing great just enjoying the heat 🤣 Glad to hear you are doing well too! That’s exactly what I am doing with most of the dirt and mud. Changing the angle of the back side of the dam to make it easier to mow. Should come out and make life easier for him. Appreciate you watching as always and it’s great catching up with you
As Chris from Letsdig would say : that is a lot of MERD""
Lol that’s for sure!
Looks like you need Larry’s D6 on this 1. Cleaning ponds gets rather monotonous after while lol
Yes I definitely need his D6. Yeah the fun wore off pretty quick 🤣
Thanks for the video Brandon nicely done with the pond dredging. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed ❤️❤️👍 it.
Thank you! Appreciate you watching
👍👍💪
Thank you!
A fine mess you have there. 🤣
It gets worse 🤣
110 here in Jacksonville Florida and Duval county
Yuck it got to 102 here today
I need to get my pond cleaned out, York Pennsylvania area, anybody know anyone capable of doing this? Approx 1/3 of an acre sized
Hey man slow down you can't make any $$$ that way !😂😂😂
All my pond jobs are T&M
🤣🤣 I’m use to doing bid jobs so this is a little different
This would b a good spot for a rotator wouldn’t it?
Maybe I’m not really sure. The only place I’ve really seen them be useful is around utilities I think
What is make and model of that truck?
Hydrema 912 DS
You need to get that Volvo 550 that letsdig18 got to use ( free of charge like he did) to dig this pond for ya. TheGovernor.
That’s for sure 😁
