a midsize excavator costs me $250 a day plus delivery and pickup $100, and 14 yard dump truck is $40 an hour. I dig and haul 6-8 loads in about 3-4 hours including time for measuring and waiting for the truck to get back. a few minutes playing with the machine and you'll get the hang of it. Home Depot rents small dump trucks for $40 a day. Do it yourself. someone in the neighborhood must need some dirt. Always call DOTTIE first or whatever the service there is called.(they call all the utlities to check for undeground services) I've hit phone lines, gas lines, cable lines, electrical lines many times. quite exciting when you knock out power for several city blocks
