Yes. That's still an unfinished project I'm hoping to complete this year. There's a reason people hire this out. Lol. Right now it's a half pond. Not holding past about 4 ft in depth.
She's a little on the heavy side - TV620B

I'll try and get a few. I've got 1 job lined up at the moment plus plenty of work around my place.

- Case TV620B
So, I just picked up my 2023 or 2022 Case TV620B yesterday. She had 1000 hours on her and previous owner for some reason removed the rear weights. So I’m sitting at 15,400 for her now.
The problem I have now it transportation. I had a custom tilt trailer built to transport which ever loader I ended up going with. I was between a New Holland C345 or C362, but later realized the TV620B was the same as the C362. I got it for $47,500, so happy with the price. The trailer was SUPPOSED to weigh in at 6500 and they were going to rate it at 26k GVWR. They messed up, stickered it at 20k, but got trailer actually weighs 9,440 lbs. The axles are Dexter oil bath and huge. The frame is 12”. This thing I know for sure is well within the safe range to transport it, but originally they wouldn’t up the axle size to 15k, but was supposed to up my weight to 26k since considering the truck axle.
Now, the builder needs to find a solution because I go to west Texas to our border property about every two or three months to work. I got the loader so I can make use of a 3000 lb FAE mulch head I have access to and use to clean our property. We pass several DOT weigh stations in the 600ish mile trip on way.
Sounds like you got a great deal on that unit. Your going to need every bit of that 26k rating, especially if adding any attachments for the trip. I'll be interested to see how it does with that fecon. Just fyi you will probably need to have that mulching head tuned to your machine before use.

Just picked up a used bradco 96" 6 way dozer blade for mine. I wanted it for cutting ditches around the property to direct water and for keeping edges of our 1 mile drive sloped away. Seems like every 3 years or so the edges where it meets the grass start to build up and water is not shedding.
It will be interesting to see how this blade works on this machine. Seems like on the skidsteer sites about 9 out of 10 people say they are worthless on a skid steer. Probably because skids are not heavy enough and they are rear heavy for lifting. If there's a machine that they could possibly work well on it will be this one due to the weight. The 620B also is the least rear heavy as a percentage of CTLs. I'm assuming that was by design due to it's sister the Minotaurs duel use as a dozer

I think that for the price of them new, they seem to be a disappointment. I see more of them at auctions than at dealerships. Now hopefully you got a good deal and that'll bring satisfaction and I'm positive that you'll get good use of it.
I use a much less expensive tilt unit than is just mounted on my SS and any ssqa attachment will "clip" right on to it. A bucket attached does my ditch cleaning and can be useful in strange grading transitions.

$3,500. Been watching for one for some time to find a decent price. This unit is over $9k new and just couldn't justify that cost. Ive seen the tilt plates but just not convinced they would hold up on this machine and also lacks the ability to angle left to right for windrowing materialI think that for the price of them new, they seem to be a disappointment.

I'd bought it in a minute! 
I figure at that price if I don't like it or don't end up using it I should be able to resell without getting hurt. I'll try to remember to post an update once I put it in use on what my thoughts are.I'd bought it in a minute!
I was able to play with the blade for about an hour yesterday just doing some cleanup of an overgrown area near the house. Not sure on grading yet but for simple cleanup it's going to be well worth having. Especially for areas of small trees/brush where I want to completely remove roots and all instead of cutting.
