Whether you are looking to rent heavy equipment in Houston for a large construction project or you need to get rates for renting 10 earthmoving machines to prepare a bid, has you covered. Time will tell.Are you trying to find the best rates on high quality equipment rentals in Houston, Texas? With, finding and getting the lowest rates on earthmoving equipment in Houston has never been easier. We stopped at that red line and I think came out okay. Above the that was a thin red line of clay that was as visible as the tape the fiberoptic guys put over their conduit. Before we started I dug a test hole with a backhoe and found where the water sand started. The finish depth is about a foot deeper than this. I've since cut those down and used the mat'l to build the pad Casa Centerpole sits on. The horizontal lines on top left are where a previous farmer had planted windstrips on a sandhill. Didn't need this to find where the tank needed to be but it was fun. Ran the data (GPS Alt) through some freeware I found on the interwebz and got this cool map. Took a tractor with Novariant Autofarm and logged the NEMA string out as I drove it back and forth across the field (now pasture). I did this a few years back, before I built my house. But you have to be careful because they don't load loose mat'l any better than they load concrete. Worked great digging the original cut, doubly so with the ripper running in front, before that we weren't getting sh*t for cut.

In fairness to the discussion I was the one who brought up a scraper and like I said - it worked great for me, but not everyone has a barn full of tractors to draw on to pull it. I'm curious to see your pictures, at which point I reserve the right to change my recommendation. It is still too small of machine to get much done when trying to push dirt. My neighbor rented a 650 (the one size larger than the 550 you mentioned) to clean some fencelines. I know a guy in the Bartlett area that has an older D6 that may be able to assist you. I know you want to do the work yourself, but it may be that you could get more bang for your buck by hiring someone. You really want to get to some good yellow clay to make sure your tank will hold water. This would help you determine just what kind of moisture you will have to deal with, and the type of soil. OP: If you have a post hole digger, I would hook it up and dig some test holes at the bottom of the area that you plan to work in. The contractor started with a D7 and a paddlewheel, but we still had to use our loader to get the mud out from the area where the tanks were. We had a new tank dug about 20 years ago that incorporated two existing mud holes. Now with the added info he presented (it doesn't sound like he will be working in much silt and it may be that the area he wants to work is practically dry), a scraper may be much more realistic. 6' of wet black clay that starts 3 feet under the surface that is dry on top would leave him with nothing but a couple haul fees to show for his money. Dad and I spent several summers cleaning out tanks over the years. This is why I initially responded the way I did. But to say that a scraper is the ideal piece of equipment when he is on a limited budget (meaning he will only have one piece of equipment besides his tractor) is the wrong answer for 100% of the tanks I have cleaned out. Schmellba99: I agree that it really depends on his circumstances. I agree that a 650 dozer is too small as well.ĮTA: How big of tank are we talking about? And how long of boom does that excavator have? Which model excavator? That can make a big difference. Be aware though, that if you dump a lot of that soupy black mud, it can take a long time until it dries out enough to smooth or level it to make it look nice. So long as you scoop up the muddy stuff to keep your footprint clean, you can do it alright. We've been successful going in and taking out several feet of hard stuff below the mud, but if you don't know what you are doing, you can easily get a wheel loader stuck when the mud falls off the loader when backing out. Delivery fees and hauling add up in a hurry. Thinking about going with the 4yard loader for $1900/wk so I can move it between farms myself. I talked with Holt a while back about a year ago when we thought about doing the same thing, but got some rain and decided to hold off. Volvo rents has a store in Pflugerville where they actually have prices listed on their site. I'm currently checking prices/options for doing the same thing on another farm away from where we keep out Cat. Even though you have time, it still costs a lot in fuel. No way would I piss ant dirt with a 50 hp tractor and FEL. At 100 HP and 2.25 yd bucket, it still takes a while. We've cleaned out many tanks with a Cat 930 wheel loader. Even the excavator will probably be too small.
