    A D8 is a big boy, but honestly a piece of equipment is only as good as the operator. This guy is extremely skilled. Tiny pond, but well done sir.

    What size is that small JD dozer? My Dad had a JD 450 about 20 years ago. Really handy to have a small dozer like that for finish grading a light duty work………although we dug our fair share of stumps with it too!!!

    No compaction needed? I know an 8 is heavy but I would be afraid of seepage.

      @jeremyjohnson342  Рік тому +4

      I thought we would have needed a core trench, but it showed no sign of seepage. Even put dye in while looking. Drops less than a foot in summer.

      We consider one.. We stripped all the gravel down to hard pan clay. So the entire damn is clay. Few weeks after we dug it, we had a big rain that unexpectedly filled it. So we just went with it. Has held water since and have dyed the water. Never have found any leaks.

    You didn't dig a pond. All you did was push some dirt around. There's no core trench in your dirt dam. The pond dam should have been made out of hard clay.
