No all the machinery isnt mine .. I work for an equipment dealership .. they let me use the excavators for what started out to be a small pond .. I now own my own .. The Dozer is a Cable D8 .. I hired a retired guy to help move the dirt .. he had two D8s and to Cat Pans .. he taught me alot last summer bout moving dirt, of course hes been doing it for 40 years . See Pic
