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 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.
