I won't offer much experience in terms of buying. I have rented one - that thing is like holding on to a 400 lb jack rabbit! wholly cow!

You've got a lot of work ahead of you. A neighbor and I filled in a low area (settling from organic debris that was buried by the house contractor) and it took us about 6 PU truck loads and we were able to drive right to the area and shovel the dirt off the trucks. Ran the tamper after each unloading.
