We have utilized Dakota Diggers for the last two years, renting equipment needed for big projects.
Summer of 2017, we rented a cement mixer and a huge auger with an 8" bit. We rented on a Saturday for a full day which means it's ours through Sunday too, since they're not open on Sunday. They oblige you by leaving open locks on chains outside to return items on Sunday, since equipment is due back by 8am Monday morning. When returning all of that, there wasn't anywhere to put the auger bit safely chained up, so we kept it and I called Monday morning to let them know and they were very appreciative that we didn't just leave it.
Last week we reserved a 6" wood chipper on Saturday and were allowed 8 hours of actual usage, which they have a Hobbs meter on several pieces of equipment to track the usage. The first chipper we hooked up to didn't work right, a belt seized and we ended up hooking up to another. The owner let me know that sometimes chips get stuck and cause that problem when they're being hauled back and to call if we had any problems; I was assured he'd come fix it if need be. The young man helping out topped off the fuel before we left and we were on our way. The chipper, like the auger and cement mixer helped us out immensely and we pushed through our projects.
Dakota Diggers offers a huge selection of tools to rent, large and small and decent rates. They also offer trucking and sale of rock and dirt as well. We will continue to use them as we need machines while doing the hardscaping on our property! read more
