Getting it there

Protection ? The damage waiver covers accidental damage from normal, careful use, so a routine mishap won't leave you paying for repairs. It does NOT cover damage from negligence or failure to use common sense, misuse or operating beyond the machine's limits, track or tire damage, intentional or reckless damage, or theft and loss — those remain your responsibility. If you carry your own equipment or general-liability insurance, check this box to drop the waiver, and get a certificate of insurance to us at least 24 hours before handoff.

The waiver covers accidental damage from normal, careful use only. It does not cover negligence or failure to use common sense, misuse or operating beyond the machine's limits, track or tire damage, intentional or reckless damage, or theft/loss — those stay your responsibility.

How you'll pay

Return policy

  • Return it in the condition you got it. A $75 cleaning fee applies if equipment comes back excessively dirty.
  • Return it with a full tank. If it comes back low, we'll refuel it and bill the diesel at the rate locked in when you reserve (currently $6.10/gal), plus a $50 refueling fee unless you prepaid the refueling service.

You'll confirm these terms in the final step before checkout.

Your info

What a track loader gets you

The 259D3 carries its ~8,990 lb on rubber tracks instead of wheels, so it puts down roughly 6 psi — about what a person standing on soft ground does. That is the whole reason to rent this over a wheeled skid steer here: it will cross a wet spring pasture, a septic field, or an established lawn and leave tread marks instead of ruts. The vertical-lift boom raises the load straight up rather than swinging it out in an arc, which is what you want when you are loading over the side of a trailer or stacking pallets.

Jobs it handles

  • Grading and leveling — driveways, building pads, arena footing, parking areas
  • Digging and backfilling footings, trenches, and post holes
  • Moving gravel, topsoil, sand, compost, and manure by the bucket
  • Brush and tall-grass clearing with the brush hog attachment
  • Pallet and material handling with forks or fork extensions
  • Pasture and property cleanup, snow pushing, corral work

Numbers that matter on site

  • Rated operating capacity 2,010 lb — load to this, not to what the bucket holds
  • 66" wide and 83" tall: measure your gate before you book
  • 121" lift height to hinge pin, ~90" dump height — clears most trailer sides
  • Two-speed drive: 5.9 mph working, 8.5 mph moving across a property
  • 24.8 gallon tank — a full day of digging on one fill

Getting it to your site

At nearly 9,000 lb this is not a machine you move behind a half-ton. It normally travels in our 16ft dump trailer, which is why the two are priced as a bundle. If you are picking it up yourself you need a trailer and tow vehicle rated for the loaded weight — if you are not certain yours is, choose delivery and we will set it where you want it.
