Excavating a Pond with a Yanmar Vio 25 Mini Excavator

Excavating a Natural Swimming Pond with a Yanmar Vio 25 Mini Excavator
I show how we fill up our water tank for the off grid cabin. Then quickly show my solar power charge controllers doing an equalization charge. We grease the Yanmar Vio 25-6a Mini Excavator then start building a small retaining wall. After that we do most of the excavation for our natural swimming pond. This pond will be filtered to keep the nutrient density low to prevent string algae and other unwanted water clarity issues.
