Like the title says - I’m digging out some space for a gravel pad and not sure what the right tool would be. (I’d be digging normal backyard topsoil). I don’t want to mount the dragon of piloting a skid steer for such a job, and a shovel seems totally impractical. I’m imagining a “snowblower” sized earth moving tool, if such a thing exists. Is there such a thing? What would it be called at a rental place? submitted by /u/GiantXylophone to r/DIY [link] [comments]

Hey all I’m doing a lawn renovation and I’m currently in the grading process with a manitou tracked skid steer rental from Home Depot. I have 2 questions. 1 how do I turn the damn thing without ruining my grade? After I turn, it digs a mini ditch. And 2 when I am done with most of the grading, how do i address the leftover track marks in the dirt? submitted by /u/Helpful_Gur_1757 to r/landscaping [link] [comments]

Looking to buy my first skid steer. I just sold my jcb backhoe and I’m looking to hopefully avoid the gold plated hard to find hydraulic fittings on the next one. Leaning towards a case right now but open to other suggestions. Are the tracked ones harder to maintain, I have heard horrors stories on both. What is considered high hours for a skid ? My jcb had like 10k hours on it but most of the skids I see for sale have under 1500 and all have rental stickers on them, are these things getting destroyed that fast ? submitted by /u/SnooPets3052 to r/Heavy_Equipment [link] [comments]

Called a local rental company to rent a skid. They said $439 for a days work delivered and picked up. I put 6 hours on the machine. I called the after hours line and told them I was done(this was on the weekend). They never came Monday so I called and they said yep we see you were done Sunday at noon. Waited til Thursday for the pickup. They finally picked up and hit my card with another $300 charge. Machine was clean fueled up and only 6 hours out on it. Any idea what they're charging for. Cannot call until Tuesday. Never signed an agreement. submitted by /u/e0240 to r/heavyequipment [link] [comments]

When it comes to deciding between renting or purchasing a skid steer, many project owners find that renting saves them time and money in the long run. New skid steers often cost upward of $55,000. In addition to upfront costs, buyers can expect to pay insurance, storage, depreciation, maintenance and transportation expenses during the machine’s lifetime. Some jobs also require separate attachments or specialized trailers for transport, all of which must be purchased separately. Purchasing can be a good investment for companies or individuals who need a skid steer for routine use, but it can quickly push a short-term project over budget. On the other hand, renting costs much less upfront and allows for added flexibility. For example, a person who needs a skid steer for multiple projects won’t have to worry about storage or maintenance costs between projects if they choose to rent. Renting also allows for more freedom when choosing a size and type of skid steer for each project. While one project might only require a small wheeled skid steer, the next could call for a heavier model with tracks. Renting ensures that you’ll always have the right skid steer for each project. Once you’re ready to find the right equipment for your next project, request quotes from local retailers or connect with an online rental network that services your area. This will ensure that you find a skid steer that’s best suited for your job at the right price. submitted by /u/nasir_ran to r/Heavy_Equipment [link] [comments]

This summer I tackled my first major outdoor project: building a 35 foot-long retaining wall to help level out our sloped backyard, manage drainage, and make the space more usable (and better looking). I wanted to share photos and a breakdown of how it all came together ⸻ Materials and Why I Chose Them • Wall Bricks: I used engineered concrete retaining wall blocks. They’re heavy (which helps with stability), interlock well, and were locally available at a decent price. • Backfill: A mix of clean rock and compactable fill dirt to ensure proper drainage and structural support. • Lighting: I added six low-voltage cap lights to the top layer for both function and aesthetics. These are wired into a weatherproof transformer with a dusk-to-dawn timer. • Tools/Equipment: I rented a skid steer for excavation and hauling, and bought a few new tools I didn’t already own (angle grinder, reciprocating saw, etc.) ⸻ Step-by-Step Build Process 1. Planning + Layout: Measured and marked out the wall line, accounting for slope and height transitions. 2. Excavation: Rented a skid steer to dig the wall back and wide enough for the base layer and to move the backfill materials around. The dug the trench with shovel and pickaxe 3. Base Prep: Filled the trench with compacted gravel, checked level obsessively, and laid the first course of bricks. Everything above that relies on this being right. 4. Stacking the Wall: Layered the wall blocks while backfilling and compacting as I went. 5. Drainage: Installed a French drain behind the wall with perforated pipe and clean rock, my big miss here was not installing drain fabric. 6. Lighting: Drilled conduit holes and ran low-voltage wiring before placing the final row. Connected everything to a transformer near the house. 7. Finish Work: Cleaned up, shaped the soil above the wall, and started planting creeping blue star thyme for ground cover. ⸻ Budget • Skid steer rental + delivery: $750 • Wall blocks: $3,500 • Backfill materials: ~$1,000 • Lighting system (lights, transformer, wiring): $350 • Tools + Equipment (new purchases only): $450 • Total so far: ~$6050 Timeframe The full project took about 3–4 weekends, with evenings during the week for planning, lighting work, and detail cleanup. It’s still a work in progress at this point but happy with the outcome! Yes, I used ChatGPT to help me with this write up. I also used ChatGPT as my project foreman to help along that way! submitted by /u/SHOUT-WoT to r/landscaping [link] [comments]

I'm considering a skid steer mulcher rental for a property cleanup project and would love to hear about your experiences. What attachments worked best for you?

I have a roughly 60’ x 100’ pond on my property that was dug about 60 years ago from what I know. I’ve done a ton of work to bring it back from an overgrown swamp as it had been neglected over the years. It’s very pleasant to be around now, but not pleasant to be IN. It is about 6 to 7 feet deep in the middle but there is a good 24” (more in some places) of muck on the bottom. It’s just out of reach of a conventional excavator and bringing in a long reach is out of the question financially and logistically. However, I would REALLY like to make this a nice pond to swim in for my kids. All of that said, once you get through the muck layer it is literally rock solid at the bottom. I don’t really know what it is – we certainly have a lot of glacial till and there is definitely rock down there, but it also seems to be some kind of hardpan clay layer. In any event, I can go out on a raft that I made from 55 gallon barrels and lumber and push myself around with a 10 foot long piece of 1-1/4” electrical conduit. Once I push through the 2’ of muck I can slam the end of the conduit down and put most of my 200lbs on it and it will not sink any further. This is consistent throughout the entire pond. Earlier on I was very cautious and trepidatious about getting a machine anywhere close to the pond (all rentals) for obvious reasons. At this point I am pretty convinced that there is no way that a machine would just sink to China because of the composition of the bottom. I do believe that I’d still have to be very careful as to not charge in too quickly and start by removing material slowly and exposing a lot of the hard bottom to be able to maneuver on. I’m guessing the machine could still easily get swamped in all of the muck if I went too fast. I’ve scoped out what I believe would be the best entry point as it’s a gradual slope, and once out of the pond it would be a short trip over the grass to the low side of the dam where I could just dump all of the muck and not worry about having to spread it, etc… I’ve run loaders and excavators plenty, but skid steers only a handful of times, most of those running attachments like brush hogs or rock hounds-looking for feedback from more experienced operators. I will say that if the worst were to happen I have plenty of solid, dry ground to pull from with my tractor (35HP 4x4) or truck (F250 4x4) and no shortage of chains and straps. submitted by /u/Gullible_Rich_7156 to r/Skidsteer [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I’ve built a few Elementor websites before — nothing super complex, just basic business or service pages. This time, I need to build a site for a heavy equipment rental business (things like skid steers, trailers, compact track loaders, and possibly excavators). I’d love some guidance from those more experienced. Main questions: Are there any Elementor themes or templates specifically made for equipment rental businesses? Like something I can just plug in my logo, company info, services, and tweak from there? I’m looking for something industry-specific to save time — even if it’s a premium one. Is Elementor still a good choice for this kind of site, or should I consider another builder? The business may grow over time and offer bookings or service quotes directly on the site. Is it possible to let people rent equipment directly from the site using Elementor? Like selecting a machine, choosing dates, and booking it — or do I need extra plugins or a different platform altogether? Any insights, plugins, or stack suggestions would be appreciated — especially anything that makes it easier to manage rentals and make the site look sharp and professional without rebuilding from scratch. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/AlertInitiative9957 to r/elementor [link] [comments]

Looking to tackle a small scale landscape project this weekend. 10-15 yards of loam to place, spread, and level my property. Anyone know anyone that would rent a skid steer out for a couple days? I looked at home depot and they have one but it’s north of $1000 for the 2 days I’ll need it. Figured I’d see if anyone has something kicking around and wants to earn a few hundred bucks to let us use it for a couple days. submitted by /u/Synchwave1 to r/RhodeIsland [link] [comments]

I have a piece of property that's about 5 acres. I am trying to get the property ready for development (all engineering and permitting is done). The county wants me to redo the driveway before any kind of work happens. It's 700 feet long. They want me to scrape 6 to 8 inches off and put down heavy duty driveway fabric and #2 stone. Right now there's crushed stone or #2 along most of it, but without fabric under it so some huge potholes, like 8 inches deep. I've gotten a couple quotes for this and they are over $20k. As soon as I tell them that it is permitted work and a county inspector will be inspecting they double or triple the price. Maybe it's because the property is within 20 miles of Washington DC. I really can't explain the quotes I'm getting. I priced out the fabric and the stone and it comes to about $5k. For $15k I can buy an old skid steer with some hours on it and throw it away after one use and still come out ahead of those quotes. This will not be the only time I need a skid steer for this project. Once the land is cleared I will need to extend the driveway further. After the big trucks, I want to spread #57 over the driveway to prep for paving. There's rough and fine grading to do for the house itself. There are a couple of outbuildings on the plan. I estimate I'd need to use a skid steer at least a dozen times for a couple days each (probably more). I really didn't want to buy a skid steer, but adding up rental costs and considering the crazy quotes, it almost makes sense. Do you think I should just rent every time I need a skid steer or would buying make more sense? The cost for renting would still probably be slightly less than buying an older used machine. But I'm probably underestimating the number of times and duration I'd use it. All this being said, if I do buy a skid steer, I am torn between wheeled and tracked. I think wheeled would be better longer term (especially if I decide to keep it) because the driveway will be paved. I can use it to plow snow, use it as a forklift in the detached garage/shop etc. But right now the property is "wild" so tracked might be better at this moment. The property is sloped, but not bad. I can drive a F150 with mild tires up and down no problem even when it's very muddy. I would time the work so I'd do it when everything was fairly dry. Would wheeled work for the type of work I'm doing? submitted by /u/billyb351 to r/Skidsteer [link] [comments]

EDIT : some agree some disagree but common disagreers seem to think we are asking too much because we chose to be construction workers. Dirty bathrooms are just part of being a “lower class worker”. That’s such a shit mentality. Porta Johns are shit. The only reason the world uses them is because they are cheap to make and cheap to service. I understand concerts use them for masses of people but they can be switched to the portable restrooms but no one wants to pay for a week’s worth of toilets. The same for job sites. It’s even worse because we have to be at the sites for months on end. In the heat, rain, snow. Majority of the time all there is to clean ur hands is hand sanitizer. Then that’s empty, then no toilet paper. People shitting everywhere because they don’t wanna sit on the seat. Even some campsites have public facilities. Why can’t a multimillion dollar site afford this?? ( I’m assuming different states have different situations and different contractors so I’m not completely denying this isn’t already in place but not nationally. At least unions should enforce this). I don’t care if it’s one or two guys. Even for road construction they make portable restrooms that have trailer hitches so it your crew is constantly moving miles a day it can be easily pulled by a tow hitch and not just pushed or grabbed by a fork lift or skid steer. I’m working inside an industrial building with other existing workers and they put 2 portajohns in the middle of the fucking floor for around 15 guys. But 100 feet away there are two gendered 4 stall bathrooms…… why am I treated like an animal. God forbid someone run into the porta John with a scissor lift forklift and the excrement spills on the work area. There’s needs to be mandatory restrooms with fucking lights and climate control. Must be emptied in a timely manner by the rental company (no cost mattered again it’s a right that we can ask for)and cleaned daily use!!!! Have these fucking project manager college interns clean something. Or a fucking trade a week idgaf I’ll clean a fucking bathroom an after before leave work so the 50 other guys don’t have to take a morning shit in a literal shit shack. We clean everything else. It needs to be a fucking consensus. We are fucking skilled workers some making over 6 figures hours in the cold or heat of day and we gotta fucking shit in a dark sauna tight sauna. We aren’t lower class citizens. We deserve better. You fucking company owners spend your excess money on crew cab decked out pickups you can fucking afford to treat your workers with dignity.

I'm currently using a 1969 Ford 3400 for loading jobs on my small farm, but I'm finding more and more uses for a skid steer and having to rent or borrom equipment. Since I've spent more than $12k on rentals this past year alon, purchasing a skid steer probably makes sense, especially if it can hold its resale value. I have heavy logs, 18 in or more in diameter, and tree branches I need to move into burn piles, logs I'm harvesting for timber, small to medium sized rocks I need to pick from reclaimed land, and the good forks that I can move bundles of 800 lb fence posts and wire with. I've looked at adding a quick attach converter to the tractor, but the hydraulics are old and not great when the bucket is higher than the machine. It would be ideal if the skid steer is tracked, since most of the farm is impassable with mud in the winter months, and the tractor gets stuck, even with chains. Ideal budget would be $25k or less for a used machine, but I need it to have enough power to operate a grapple, rock bucket, and fork at maximum height. Which machine would be best given all the above? submitted by /u/Pahsaek to r/Skidsteer [link] [comments]

Hi all, Over the past weeks, I have been increasingly interested in trying out a mini skid steer loader for my cleanups. I really would like to learn how to use one and also get to try it out for a day on an actual illegal dumping site. Rental prices are not a concern for me. If it goes well, I plan to start saving money for one that I can use in the future in places like Oakland. Thank you, Peng submitted by /u/pengweather to r/bayarea [link] [comments]

I'm going to build a cedar privacy fence this summer and am planning to use Postmaster (or similar) steel posts. I live in Montana and have spent a lot of time watching videos from SWI Fence (based in Wyoming so likely similar-ish ground conditions.) They are big advocates for driving postmaster posts rather than digging and setting concrete: as shown in this video: Driving a Steel PostMaster Fence Post Instead of Using Concrete | It's Easy! I am very concerned with wind load as I live in a notoriously windy area and the fence will have a lot of wind exposure. I'm planning to buy the 10' posts and drive them to 48" for a 6' fence. I like that driving posts eliminates the need to worry about frost heave (as the frost level in my region is estimated at 50"). I also really like that I wouldn't have to dig and mix concrete. I have not been able to find a handheld gas-powered post driver for rent anywhere in my area, but I do have a local rental company with skid steers and post driving attachments (the one in the photo is what they have. ​ https://preview.redd.it/4lm5u28arqpc1.png?width=635&format=png&auto=webp&s=8ee2e3bb0606faeb58d3d773e0e1191a11275e53 Here is the product page for that driver: https://toku-america.com/new-products.asp#postPounder My primary question is: Does anyone have any experience driving postmasters with this type of driver? Is it "too much" machine? ​ submitted by /u/MakeABarrel to r/FenceBuilding [link] [comments]

Hey guys, looking for some advice. I own a piece of property near Lake Michigan and its mostly wooded other about 1 acre where the house sits. The house has a blacktop driveway that comes in off a 60mph country road. We are in the process of adding a road next to the house the will have a new entrance and culvert coming in off from the main road. I've already had two excavation companies come out and quote me about $10,000 for the digging and $6,000 for the stone. The length of the road is about 500ft and its slightly down hill. I'm a pretty handy DIY guy and have remodeled several of my houses, finished basements, done some electrical and plumbing etc but I'm not a pro-grade contractor by any means...I'm actually a computer programmer (-: Recently I found out that there is a heavy equipment rental place about 20 minuets from me where I can rent a skid steer and various tractor platforms and after doing some decent research on it I'm considering doing the road myself. Also, I should mention that the ground is almost pure sand...in fact the house was built on a sand dune and soil and trees were brought in about 30 years ago for stability. As trees go there are only about 3 or 4 in my path and they are about 12in in diameter so I think I can either push them over or cut them and grind the stump. My real question comes in on the road construction itself...what are some best practices for grading / leveling? Is gravel required? As I mentioned it's mostly sand and lose soil so there is never any standing water, mud, or clay. I want to do a standard 12ft wide road and I've already pulled the permit from the township too. As for equipment I have access to a brand new New Holland tractor with a couple attachments and plan to rent the skid steer. I've also been driving tractors since I was a kid so I'm pretty confidant I can handle the skid too. Thanks! submitted by /u/djrodimus to r/DIY [link] [comments]

It's not practical to get a concrete pump to my job site and my concrete plans call for rebar + hydronic floor heat. Realistically how wide can I place concrete with a bucket like this with a stem wall? My floor is 60x60 and I plan to pour the outer perimeter let it cure (cold joint), pour the inside section maybe once or twice more. I have a small tele handler onsite with a skid steer attachment so I can boom the bucket out an additional 8-10'. Any other solutions for placing concrete without a pump? My construction site is a fly-in, boat-in only location and the complexity of bringing a pump in could be prohibitively difficult. I've already got a skid steer on site, and the bucket would be easy to get in. Or what about a skid steer concrete pump? I'm trying to avoid a concrete pumping trailer because buying one doesn't make sense, the used pumps I looked at have been worked, and a rental pump would have to be onsite for 1 year+ because my season for moving equipment in is only about 4-8 weeks. https://skidsteersdirect.com/products/skid-steer-concrete-pump https://preview.redd.it/ybz628s33ldc1.jpg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69182413b6383f856406317cfde087725d64dbfc submitted by /u/robsantos to r/Concrete [link] [comments]
