FOOLHEADED?? Tractor Tries to Remove Muck INSIDE Pond, John Deere 5075E

Implements & attachments65–75 hpJohn Deere 5075E

Overview

An episode in an ongoing pond-renovation series, this video picks up after a discouraging start and shows the host working out how to excavate muck by digging down to the clay layer first, using both a loader bucket and a rear angle blade on a John Deere 5075E. It covers blade offset limitations from too few hydraulic outlets, tire pressure oddities on the 5E series, and real-time problem-solving under muddy conditions, no clean results, just honest mid-project struggle. Best for viewers following the series or curious about using a utility tractor for pond work instead of hiring an excavator.

An owner-operator channel where the host documents DIY projects on his own property, explicitly noting he is not an expert and learns by experimenting.
