A few years ago I wanted to put in a road on my lake property. There was an older guy down the road that had a Cat 955H Traxcavator for sale. It's like a D6 with a loader bucket instead of a blade. Never been on a dozer in my life.
I bought it and drove it home. It took me all fall to do the digging etc. I built a beautiful road; nicely banked and ditched. Sure it took me some time to get to where I could do smooth work with it. But I moved huge boulders, transplanted trees, buried a trash pile for my Dad, put a culvert in my brother's road and leveled a pad for a pole barn for my cousin and cleared some land. I then sold it about 2 years later for about $300 less than I paid for it. I wish I had kept it. It was the most fun toy I've ever owned.
I say rent it and do it yourself. It's a lot of fun and not at all hard to learn.
Good Luck
Jerry
