I am cleaning silt and moving back the shoreline on my island pond. I almost finished draining it yesterday. I want to put in a 3 to 1 slope on the new shore. I'm using a 4 foot cleanout bucket on the CAT and I am having a hard time getting the slope right. Any ideas or techniques Y'all use, please share them with me. I originally dug the pond down to 7 feet with my tractor and 7 foot wide loader bucket. But now, I am trying to do the sloping with the CAT to learn how to do it right with the excavator.
I started digging with the pond drained down half way. I want to move the shore back into a finger cutout behind the CAT.
I have dug more back since the photo was taken. Also, I am thinking about taking some of the trees behind the CAT out, so there will be more room for access around the new "finger".
I dug around and pushed over into the pond, this sweetgum and elm tree. The white to the left in the photo is silt that washed into the pond from our May floods.
I had left a point of land around the tree and the bucket is on the old point.
hugs, Brandi
