It sounds like you may have jobs that are varied enough any one machine wont do it all, or at least not well or effiently. Lots of good advice given below, heres my 2ce nts. 1- sounds like if you want a dozer a large older one will do what you want -you could pull one of those dirt pans with it too 2- if you want a pond and the ground is low it may be wet- too wet to push out a pond with a dozer. The only thing worse than a dozer buried in the mud is a big dozer buried in the mud. The pond might be a job for a track hoe and a dozer. 3- I agree it may be more sensible to hire hte work done unless you know what youre doing. A couple sugestions - 1- get a site work contractor to look it over and give you an estimate , if possible break the job into several jobs(clearing trees, grading and moving fill, digging pond) you may decide to do some yourself and hire some and that could help you narrow your machine choice. 2- try to free up a weekend and rent a machine similar to what youre interested in- have some work lined up - see what you can get done . If one machine wont do it all you may find that buying whatever works best for most of your jobs and occaisonally renting other pieces a good way to go. Please remember that allthough many of us have some experience in this area and are trying to offer good advice, non of us has seen your site or knows exactly what it will take to do what you have in mind without seeing the site and knowing more about your plans, abilities and other factors (time ,$$$ etc.)Good Luck JK
