Our issues were much smaller than Bots. We put up to 8 pipes in dams that were around 3’-4’ tall and maybe 75’-100’ wide. They like to make several ~½ acre tanks along low streams. Our little 4x4 Kubota could drive a pipe through in about 30 seconds with good traction.
It took a week or so to drain the levels down enough for them to seek a new location. That, or not being able to figure out the leaks just drove them nuts.
