I'd say go for it and try it if you have the blade already. If it is completely dry you may be able to do it. It will be slow and with a rear blade you may not be able to make a very steep slope which will affect the size and depth. I work on things all the time that takes me 3 times as long as if I would hire it done but I am the ultimate DIYer. It would sure be easier with a front bucket though. You would want to dig it the same way a dozer does it, basically in straight lines. Problem with a shallow pond is that it will fill in with silt after a few years and your dove pond will become mosquito city. You could even stock a few fish. You will need an excavator or drag line for sure to deepen it once it becomes a mudhole. That is why you want to dig it plenty deep to begin with while it is still dry. Those pastures will carry a lot of silt. Either hurry and do it before the rainy season or wait till it is over.
