How to choose earthmoving equipment

Excavator, skid steer or stand-on loader?

Digging below grade (footings, trenches, stumps, sewer and water lines) is excavator work: the Bobcat E10, E35 and E48 dig 6 ft, about 10 ft and 10 ft 4 in. Moving and shaping material on the surface (gravel, topsoil, grading, pallets) is loader work: the Bobcat T66-2 and Kubota SVL65-2 carry 2,450 lb and 2,100 lb per bucket. The stand-on Bobcat MT100 is the loader for yards behind a 36-inch gate.

Tracks or wheels

The T66-2 and SVL65-2 run on rubber tracks that spread the weight, so they stay put on wet spring ground and are gentle on lawns. The wheeled Bobcat S570 is quicker on pavement, gravel and firm ground, but it ruts turf and gets stuck in mud. If the site is soft or you are crossing a lawn, take a tracked machine.

Measure the gate before you book

The E10 retracts to 28 in, the MT100 is 35.6 in wide and the walk-behind trencher is 35.8 in, so all three clear a standard 36-inch gate. The E35 (69.7 in), T66-2 (67.8 in), SVL65-2 (68 in with bucket) and E48 (72.8 in) all need roughly a 6-ft opening.

Attachments change what the machine does

Forks carry pallets, a root grapple grabs brush and roots, a soil conditioner tills and levels a seedbed, a breaker takes out concrete and a post hole auger drills footings. Full-size attachments fit the T66-2 and S570 (the soil conditioner does not fit the Kubota); the stand-on versions fit only the MT100. Attachments rented with one of our skid steers are half price.

Earthmoving equipment rental questions

Which machines fit through a backyard gate?

The Bobcat E10 mini excavator retracts to 28 in, the Bobcat MT100 stand-on loader is 35.6 in wide and the walk-behind trencher is 35.8 in, so each fits a standard 36-inch gate. The E35, E48, T66-2, SVL65-2 and S570 are 67 to 73 in wide and need about a 6-ft opening.

What does delivery cost?

Round-trip delivery on our own trucks runs $85 within 1 to 45 minutes of the Hamburg yard and $125 for 46 to 75 minutes for mini excavators, skid steers and most equipment. Dual-machine loads are $125 and $200. Past 75 minutes we quote individually. We deliver and pick up 7 days a week.

Can I pick the machine up myself?

Yes. The mini excavators and full-size skid steers ride on our 16 ft trailer with a 2 5/16 in ball and need a 3/4-ton truck or larger (the E48 weighs close to 10,000 lb and takes a heavy-duty truck). The MT100 rides on a 6x12 trailer with a 2 in ball and the trencher on a 5x10 utility trailer with a 2 in ball. We confirm your tow setup at the counter.

Do I need to call MISS DIG before digging?

Yes. Call 811 at least three business days before digging, trenching or augering so underground utilities are marked.

Are run hours limited?

No. You pay for the rental period the machine is out, including weekends and holidays, not hours on the meter. Fuel is billed at our cost with no markup.

What do I need to rent?

A valid driver's license and a major credit or debit card in the same name; prepaid and reloadable cards are not accepted. An optional damage waiver is available and must be added before the rental starts.
