Cat 416 4x4 Backhoe - Let's Build a Pond.Whether it is made by Caterpillar, Sumitomo, John Deere, Case, Komatsu, Link Belt, Terex or any of the others, one of Papa's favorite thing to do: running heavy equipment. He calls them " The Big Toys ". Excavator, dozer, ( bulldozer ), backhoe, trencher, loader, off road dump truck, earth mover, paddle wheel scraper, pavement roller, log loader, and so many more, Papa has run heavy equipment about every major type of construction equipment since he was 17 years old. A friend of ours has a Cat 416 4x4 backhoe and a 10 wheel dump truck that he said we could borrow for a time. We took him up on the offer to get our pond started and to dig a place to build our storm shelter. A pond is nearly a necessity in this area, but a storm shelter is a true necessity here in Tornado Alley. PLEASE SHARE, comment and subscribe! Please give a thumbs up!

I saw mention of building a storm cellar, that would be nice to double as a root cellar. Can't wait to see the end results.

Around your parts papa like mine, all we have are good neighbors. Sure ain't much of nothing else. But I wouldn't change the rural life for nothing.

I can't wait to see how you do getting youjr pond built!... My nephew tried to get a pond built several years ago, the contractors all told him it would be about $18,000.00 to do...he located some used equipment bought it and fixed it up, then built 3 ponds for himself and his family! Then sold the equipment for more than he paid for it. Net value- $5,000.00 profit & 3 ponds pretty good deal if you ask me!
