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

What happens here

Begin by thoroughly assessing the site, particularly the pond or water body from which material needs to be excavated. Identify the areas requiring dredging and determine the safest and most efficient points for equipment access and material transfer. Strategically position one skid steer loader, such as a New Holland compact track loader, near the edge of the water where excavation will commence. This machine will be responsible for digging out the material. Position a second skid steer loader, also a New Holland compact track loader, on a stable section of the bank that allows it to receive material from the first machine and then transport it to a designated dumping area.

Goal: Prepare the site and stage heavy equipment for material transfer.

Tools and materials

  • Skid Steer Loader — Receiving excavated material on the bank and transporting it to the dump site
  • Spotter — Guiding operators, monitoring safety, and facilitating communication
