The creator walks the property and shares lessons learned, getting stuck repeatedly, pacing the work after hours, but skips any technique detail or specs. Best for someone curious whether a compact tractor can tackle a pond project at all.
An owner-operator sharing candid impressions from their own working farm, with no apparent commercial ties.
Yes, the creator built the pond using a farm tractor with a front-end loader and a box blade, working on it over time.
The tractor got stuck about three times, and getting unstuck required using the bucket to crawl out or hooking up to a truck and pulling it out slowly.
The pond is about six to eight feet deep and is two to three feet deeper than when the work started.
