Picking the Equipment

When looking at rental equipment options, it can get overwhelming fast. There are so many options of machines and even more options of makes and models. How do you best find the farm rentals or construction equipment rentals for the task at hand?

A great place to start is by asking the experts. Chat with the staff at a dealership to see what people usually use or what they recommend. This can help narrow your search to a more manageable level.

As you peruse through models, you'll want to be selective like you would be if you were buying used equipment. Ask for copies of maintenance schedules and ensure the rental equipment is working well so it can tackle your project. You'll also want to be sure you are only paying for what you need. It's exciting to have access to the most recent models, but they aren't always worth the higher price when an older model can get the job done just fine.

Before you sign the papers on farm rentals or construction rentals, make sure you know how to operate it! Some places offer training to teach you the basics. Sometimes they also offer on-site help in case something malfunctions. Be sure to look into logistics such as return policies, times for delivery and pickup, etc.

Plan Ahead

Rental equipment brings with it some logistical details you'll need to consider. It's possible that multiple people are trying to get the same farm rentals or construction equipment rentals for the same day, which is why it's helpful to reserve your given equipment in advance. It'll guarantee that you get the equipment you need when you need it.

When you gather up the payment, make sure you are clear on what the security deposit is alongside the full rental fee. Sometimes rental equipment fees also include fuel costs, environmental fees, insurance, and other fees. Be clear about what the entire bill will be so that there aren't any surprises.

Finally, think about whether you want any implements to your rental equipment. Some farm rentals and construction equipment rentals allow for add-ons to better suit the task at hand.

Operating Rental Equipment

When you use farm rentals or construction equipment rentals, safety should be your priority. You'll be operating equipment that you aren't as familiar with, so be cautious. If needed, take training courses or get licensed to be better informed on operating the rental equipment. Be sure you're compliant with any state and local regulations as well. It helps to take some time testing out the equipment before you attempt the task at hand. Familiarize yourself with the rental equipment first, then go conquer your project!
