It includes rough first-time learning curve notes and fuel/cost figures, but skips specs, controls breakdown, or a proper walkaround.
Posted by ALX Outside, a homeowner documenting personal backyard landscaping projects rather than a dealer or professional operator.
The owner says it took him probably a solid hour to get really used to the controls, but after that it was pretty simple to operate.
Yes, he used it to pull out boulders with more than a three-foot diameter, saying the hydraulics had way more power than he expected.
He rented it for three days, working about six hours a day, and the total rental cost came to around a thousand dollars.
He says if you are debating renting one, go for it, since it let him do in one day what would take weeks with a shovel and wheelbarrow.
