- Moving 100+ TONS of Dirt to the Pond - Possible Future Bridge Over It?
We have a TON of dirt, clay and rocks to move...actually over 100 tons! With cold weather and snow approaching I need to get this all moved before it either gets covered in snow or worse freezes.
The Bobcat was the only way I could tackle this job, and it took a whole weekend to get it done. I put over 10+ hours on the skid steer moving this dirt back and forth but the end result looks great! I even left a trench area for snowmelt to have a path to follow into the pond and out of the spillway during the Spring time.
Would be cool to have a future bridge over the gap, anyone have some cool ideas?!

Cant wait for it to green up, see the new land shape.
Definitely. Hoping it'll settle quickly over winter too.
How many hours did it take? I have a creek that I want to make a 6' wide crossing thru deer can use it, I can walk thru and just simple to have access to the other side. It's 10' across and 9' deep. So not sure if I'd rent a bobcat or backhoe
Can't remember the exact hours, but I want to say it was 12 hours...most of the time was just driving back and forth (almost 1/4 mile each way). If you can have the drop a huge pile of dirt/clay I think a bobcat is totally doable. Amazing what you can accomplish with just sheer will!!
Ok thanks yup I'd just need to move it to the side. Out working in the woods today on habitat important but man it's hard work.
