What's the best tool to rent...besides a shovel

? i just had two trucks worth of gravel (8 yds) delivered a few months back...topping an existent base....want to scoop the top layer off. I can dump it on a trailer, or it's destination is....the other side of the horseshoe shaped drive.
I KNOW Cabman would sell me sumthin' ...he's a B$'er
Thanks!
