Default Renting an excavator

Anybody had any experience renting a mini or compact excavator ? What to
look out for contract wise ? Thinking about renting for a week.



In my case, they give it to you fueled. Have to give it back that way, or
they charge for refueling. It was delivered by the rental facility by
trailer, and picked up. They called it a "Bobcat". Don't remember the
specifics of the rental contract. Used it for light clearing, and moving
soil/rocks. Excavating around and pulled some small tree stumps. Make
ready site use for home builder. "Bobcat" is topheavy. Stay away from
inclines unless heading directly at or away from incline.
