    If you think electric fence wire is bad, try getting a set of old bed springs tangled up in your tracks. Being spring steel, most wire cutting pliars won't touch them. Hammer and a good chisel might. However it's done, it must be cleared away, or you risk tearing out every seal in the final drives. Even less fun to replace those.

    The teeth on your rake need to be 3 times longer. That way the dirt can migrate under the horizontal bar supporting the teeth instead of rolling up the soil with the debris. The horizontal bar and the dozer blade are riding way too close to the surface.

    Nutria is the size of a beaver at 10-20 lbs + and has straight tail when they swim. Muskrat is 4-6 lbs and has a semi-flat tail that snakes back and forth when they swim. Either way, they are devastating in a pond as they both do the exact same thing: Burrow long tunnels into the banks, including the dam. If not removed, they will eventually collapse the dam. Unfortunately, you can't relocate them.
