Absolutely way too tight of a roadway. Doing this any other way would have been slower. #hardscape

What happens here

Carefully drive the first skid steer loader, the one designated for excavation, into the shallow areas of the pond or water body. Ensure that the water depth does not exceed the manufacturer's recommended limit for safe operation. Begin using the front bucket to scoop up sediment, mud, and other debris from the bottom of the pond. Work systematically, scooping full buckets of material while constantly monitoring the machine's stability and traction in the muddy and wet conditions.

Goal: Extract sediment and debris from the water body.
