Had out Pond/Lake (1 1/3ac) cleaned 12 years ago..
6' of silt...I drained it with a siphon or 200ft of 4" Non-Perf plastic tile... I sealed a double layer of black trash bag over one end and completely submerged the tile (No air left in it), then sealed the other end and wrestled that over the Dam far enough to get a siphon going... That worked real well...
The real problems are getting that Grease-like Muck to dry, then to get it OUT of the Scoop/Bucket..
What we ended up using was a SLUDGE Pump to pull the wettest of the muck out, and I would sure suggest that over trying to use a tiny 36" scoop..!! The poor guy cleaning the pond/Lake first Burried his Dozer in there and had to dig it out with his back-Hoe.. Eventually, he on his Dozer and me on the JD "B" w/loader and blade were in there, pushing the sediment toward the back-Hoe (with an extend-a-boom), dipping the rest out.. About 14" deep at the deepest when we were done, but what a dirty slimy job..!!

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
