[QUOTE="bobcat_ron, post: 8442, member: 1066"] This has and is my experience.....all of the people I've come across that have bought their own machine due to wanting to save money on big projects like that all thought it was a good idea, but in the end if there was something that really wrong, they were screwed, sometimes it's better to have the professionals take care of something that big. In a case where you are adding fill, there is somethings you need to know like compaction rates and knowledge about the material being hauled in, something a good contractor will know right off hand. If you buy the TLB, you'll be stuck paying insurance, fuel and any busted items you manage to break, that adds up over time, if you let the pro's do it, get a set firm price and or a contract price, that way you just pay for the work and nothing else. But don't get me wrong, if I were in that situation, I'd do the same, but just rent myself a machine, but only because of my back ground and job as a heavy equipment operator. [/QUOTE]
