A Takeuchi track skid loader for real dirt work, a Ditch Witch SK800 mini for tight lots, and the Dingo compact loader with tiller, auger, fork and leveler attachments — the machines that turn a two-week hand-dig into a weekend.
Three Machines, Three Very Different Jobs
People say "Bobcat" the way they say "Kleenex" — it has become the generic name for a skid steer loader. Moore Rental Service stocks three sizes of compact loader, and picking correctly matters more here than in almost any other category, because the wrong machine either cannot do the work or cannot get to it.
Takeuchi Track Skid Loader — $350/day
The full-size ride-in machine on rubber tracks. Tracks spread the weight, so it floats over soft and wet ground where a wheeled machine would sink and rut. This is the choice for real volume — grading a lot, moving loads of dirt or gravel, clearing brush, demolition cleanup, backfilling. Weekly rate of $1,225 works out to roughly 3.5 days, so multi-day jobs should take the week.
Ditch Witch SK800 Mini — $275/day
A stand-on mini skid: real hydraulic power and lift capacity in a body narrow enough to fit through a gate and light enough not to destroy an established lawn. This is the machine for backyard work on developed residential lots — the place where a full skid steer simply cannot go and a wheelbarrow would take a week.
Dingo A Model 322 — $185/day
The compact walk-behind loader, and the most versatile machine in the yard because of what bolts onto the front of it. It carries the widest attachment range Moore Rental stocks: augers, a 40-inch tiller, forks and a leveler. For landscape work, fence projects and small-scale dirt moving, the Dingo plus the right attachment is usually the cheapest correct answer.
Attachments Turn One Machine Into Six
The Dingo attachment lineup is where most of the value is:
- Posthole auger attachment — $40/day, with bits in 6", 9", 12", 24" and 30" ($20/day each) and a 24-inch extension ($15/day). Fence lines, deck footings, mailbox posts, sign posts, tree planting. A crew that would spend two days on a fence line with a hand auger does it in a morning.
- 40-inch tiller attachment — $85/day. Breaks ground several times faster than a walk-behind tiller. The right call for large garden plots, new lawn beds and any area over a quarter acre.
- Fork attachment — $25/day. Moving pallets of sod, stone, block, brick and bagged material around a site without a forklift.
- Leveler attachment — $15/day. Final grading and smoothing before sod, seed or hardscape.
- Skid loader bucket attachment — $25/day. The standard dirt-moving bucket.
Because attachments rent separately, tell the counter what you are actually doing rather than which machine you think you want. Digging 30 fence-post holes and grading a yard are two different rentals off the same base machine.
Transport, Site Access and Ground Conditions
These are the questions to answer before you reserve:
- How will it get there? A full-size track skid loader requires a heavy-duty trailer and an adequate tow vehicle. Ask about delivery when you call — for most homeowners renting the Takeuchi, delivery is the sensible option.
- How wide is the access? Measure your narrowest gate or side-yard passage. This one measurement decides between the track loader, the SK800 and the Dingo more often than anything else.
- What is the ground like? Tracks handle soft and wet ground far better than wheels. On a finished lawn, expect some marking regardless — plywood over the travel path helps considerably.
- Call 811 before you dig. Free, required by Texas law, and non-negotiable for auger and bucket work. Wait for locate marks.
- Overhead and underground. Watch for power lines, tree limbs, septic fields, irrigation and shallow utilities.
- Have somewhere for the spoil. Excavated dirt occupies far more volume loose than it did in the ground. Decide where it goes before you start digging.
Every machine gets a full operating walkthrough at pickup — controls, safety interlocks, attachment changeover and shutdown. Ask every question you have at the counter; that is what the staff is there for.

Skid Steer Bobcat Rental — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to rent a skid steer or Bobcat in Arlington, TX?
Moore Rental Service rents a Takeuchi track skid loader for $350 per day or $1,225 per week, a Ditch Witch SK800 mini skid for $275 per day or $1,100 per week, and a Dingo A Model 322 compact loader for $185 per day or $660 per week. Attachments rent separately. Call (817) 277-1141 to confirm.
What size skid steer will fit through my backyard gate?
Measure your narrowest gate or side-yard passage first — that single number usually decides the machine. The Dingo compact loader and the Ditch Witch SK800 mini are both built to pass through standard residential gates, while a full-size track skid loader generally will not. Call (817) 277-1141 with your measurement and staff will confirm.
Do you rent auger attachments for digging fence post holes?
Yes. A Dingo posthole auger attachment rents for $40 per day, with bits available in 6-inch, 9-inch, 12-inch, 24-inch and 30-inch sizes at $20 per day each, plus a 24-inch extension at $15 per day. Paired with the Dingo at $185 per day, a fence line that would take two days by hand is a morning's work.
Can I tow a skid steer myself?
The Dingo and the SK800 mini are within reach of a well-equipped truck and trailer, but a full-size Takeuchi track loader needs a heavy-duty trailer and an adequate tow vehicle with proper tie-downs. Delivery can be arranged — for most homeowners renting the track loader, that is the sensible choice. Ask about it when you call.
Will a skid steer tear up my lawn?
A rubber-track machine spreads its weight and is far gentler than a wheeled loader, but expect some marking on a finished lawn regardless, especially when the ground is wet. Laying plywood along the travel path helps considerably. For established residential lawns, the lighter Dingo or SK800 mini is usually the better choice.
Do I need to call 811 before using an auger or bucket?
Yes — it is free and required by Texas law before any digging. Gas, electric, cable, fiber, water and irrigation lines run under residential yards at depths an auger reaches easily. Place the request a few business days ahead of your rental and wait for the locate marks before the bit touches ground.
Do I need experience to operate a skid steer?
No formal certification is required for most private work, but these are powerful machines and controls vary by model. Moore Rental Service gives every renter a full walkthrough at pickup covering controls, safety interlocks, attachment changeover and shutdown. Ask every question you have at the counter before you load up.
Should I take the daily or weekly rate?
Compare the math. The Takeuchi weekly rate of $1,225 equals about 3.5 daily rentals, and the Dingo weekly rate of $660 equals about 3.5 days as well. If your job realistically runs four days or more — and dirt work usually runs longer than planned — the weekly rate is the better value and removes the pressure to rush.
