Very nice.
I like the jog in the side of it.
Must be a very wet area. All that shale and the pond is full.

Thanks. It's very wet, springs all over. I have one good leak in the bank from when I put in the standpipe, hopefully I can put some plastic down or something and slow it enough to let the bank settling more take care of it

That's awesome. Referencing those pics, did you just hook to each tree and yank it out whole? It almost looks like in your second post that using two dozers and the chain like a drag net, you can pop all the small trees out of the ground and then the dozers go back and push them out of the way. Not sure if I'm mistaken, curious about the technique there

Big tractors and relatively small timber... not all pulling went as easy as this.

Matt ; There is a product called Bentonite that is used quite often to plug leaks in ponds. I have seen it used in borrow pits that leaked.
We used to get it by the semi load for filling slurry trenches around landfills.The stuff is awesome.

Looks like a heap are snapping off. Going to be not much fun ploughing that. Box country as well, so spewy soil when wet.

We just call it pulling and young fellas seem to like doing it.

This video highlights just how brutally efficient the practice is at doing what it does.

I have heard of that. Can that be used while the pond is full? Or would I have to drain it below the leak spot and then add the bentonite?

Drain or pump it down and expose the leaking area for the most effective way to apply it. We used to get it by the semi-loads. It has the consistency of talcum powder.

Sounds good, thanks. I'll have to give that a shot

Came across this video. An interesting contraption. For small areas where it is not worth finding a second dozer and chain it could be a handy thing to have.
