ETD, Y'know I was thinking about the pond you have to build. It's an interesting problem that's not easy to figure using only one piece of machinery and peforming the dig over a prolonged period of time (which would be necessary with the limited equipment available), and especially with rains occasionally filling up the hole and turning it into a muddy sinkhole.

I'm not sure how deep the pond has to be, but if you could keep the pond no deeper than the maximum trenching depth of your hoe, you could largely avoid getting down in the hole. The big TLB's can trench to 20' I believe...at least the Dynahoe can, and I would think an extenda hoe TLB probably could go close to that deep. You could just dig a circular pit with the hoe, then use the loader to periodically remove the excavated soil around the perimeter. And then continue digging around the circle (and removing the stockpiled soil) until the circle grows to the size you want. And if you trenched a drain in the center at the beginning of the dig and installed a pipe to remove any rain that comes in, that would keep it dry...as long as no ground water percolates up, which would really be a problem.

Although if I did it that way, I would be real careful about the edge of the hole though. I've heard bad stories about operators digging or operating at the vicinity of a "cliff" and their machines fell in, sometimes caused by the bank crumbling away. Probably survivable at 20' as long as a modern ROPS was installed and you were properly seat belted in...but still, not a fun ride.

Anyway, it should be an interesting project with the constraints you'll be working under. Keep us posted and let us know how you make out.

good luck
