Had one cleaned out around six years ago, cost around 1800. He had a drag line but most now days are running excavators with long sticks. It costs about as much to clean one as to dig a new one, but you might as well clean it it makes a world of difference to get the muck out. The one thing that may add or deduct from the bill is if they can get along side the old one to clean, depends on how close the old mounds are to the dugout, maybe with the escavators its not as much as a problem as the drag lines, but he took quite abit of time just digging the old mounds out bit to get the machine along the dugout. Also the FSA from time to time will cost share clean outs and or new dugouts if your area is in a drought declared area. At the time they paid for half the clean out. Also they had a program, dont know if its still available, that if you fenced off 1 acre ( could include the dirt from the dugout) they would cost share the dugout. The one acre could not be hayed or grazed and was to be left for wildlife, the acre was still the owners but was on a good faith effort that the landowner leaves it this way, ours is still that way.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
