Akula Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I need to put a drainage system into the new property and since the run is over 300' long I thought it would be easier to use a backhoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Rent one from a rental company. They are simple to operate if you can handle a video game. A mini excavator should cost around $250 for 8 hours of use on the meter + a delivery charge. I use Ohio Rental in Mt. Vernon, but I"m not far from there and I've also used Sky Rental in Westerville. They have a great price if you need to use something for an entire weekend for a bigger job since they charge you by the day instead of using an hour meter. You get to run the crap out of it for the same price as most others. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I got a backhoe and a bobcat, but it might be alittle cheaper if you rent one and do it yourself. I got a 4 hr minimum on it. Call Sunbelt rentals by cooper stadium and get yourself a mini excavator. If you want to rent one, I can come run it for you if you feel like, I wont charge you anything to do that, well maybe a cold pepsi but other then that, nothing.

RedRocket1647545505 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 How big is the tile? If it were me, I'd use a trencher. Rule of thumb is roughly 100ft/hr...give or take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 let me know if you end up renting one. i've always wanted to test out a back hoe, and dig a huge ass hole. j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
