Part 1 - I rented a skid steer to build a 1/4 mile long road

[@johnumbach7064]

I’m encouraged thanks to you. Have a 600’ driveway I need and was considering DIY. Think I’ll give it a go. It’s much “easier” as it just crosses a mostly flat grass field.

@johnumbach7064 great to hear that. Easy machines to operate and to get the job done. My thought was if I mess something up, just fix it. It's only dirt.

That was thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Thanks!

Looks like work....but doing well IMHO!!!!!

[@snapperproman21370]

price?

[@JoeyRicard]

@snapperproman21370 I'm sure the rates are all over the place depending where you are. But from this rental company, for the 64hp TL6 is was/is $850 per week. $110 each way delivery as we live 50 miles from them. I rented it twice again this year to dig a pond and do some grading.

how much did it cost?

[@JoeyRicard]

@mupreport I rented from a smaller rental company and it was just over 1K per week (included delivery and pickup). When I was pricing it, the bigger companies like Sunbelt and United rentals were considerably more. I rented again earlier this year to dig a pond and grade here at the house and got the same machine.
