Mini skid steer rental in Yuba City
A stand-on, tracked mini skid steer that fits through most side gates. Move dirt and gravel, grade a pad, load debris, or add the trencher and dig your sprinkler lines in an afternoon.
What a mini skid steer does in a day
A wheelbarrow moves about 3 cubic feet a trip. The mini skid steer’s bucket moves several times that, and it doesn’t get tired at 2 p.m. Jobs our Yuba City customers rent it for:
- Moving dirt, gravel and base rock. Spread a delivery across the backyard instead of wheeling it in one load at a time.
- Grading and leveling. Prep a pad for a shed, a patio or artificial turf. Smooth out a driveway or a yard before sod.
- Demo cleanup. Push and load broken concrete, old fencing, decking and stumps.
- Clearing brush. Pile it up and load it straight into a dump trailer.
- Moving heavy material. With the pallet forks: block, pavers, sod pallets and landscape boulders.
- Trenching. With the trencher attachment: irrigation, drainage and conduit lines.
Why a stand-on machine fits Yuba City yards
Most homes in Yuba City, Plumas Lake and Linda have side yards a full-size skid steer can’t get through. A stand-on mini skid steer is narrower, turns in its own length, and you stand on the back with a clear view of the bucket. On tracks it keeps traction on soft ground after the rain and stays steady on a slope.

Attachments
Trencher, $100 a day. Digs a clean, even trench for sprinkler lines, drip, drainage and electrical conduit. What takes a full day by shovel takes an hour or two of machine time. More about the trencher.
Pallet forks, $50 a day. Move pallets of block, pavers or sod from the driveway to the backyard without a forklift. Unload a delivery right where it’s going to be used.
Before you dig
Call 811 at least two working days before you dig or trench anything. It’s free, it’s required by California law, and USA North will mark the gas, power and water lines on your property so you don’t hit one. Most trenches for irrigation are shallow, but gas and electric lines can be shallow too.
Plan the haul-off
A mini skid steer makes a pile fast. If you don’t know where the debris is going, the machine will sit idle on day two while you figure it out. Rent a dump trailer at the same time and load as you go, or book our junk removal drop-off and let us haul it.

Questions
How much does it cost to rent a mini skid steer in Yuba City?
The mini skid steer is $300 a day, $1,200 a week and $2,000 a month. The trencher attachment adds $100 a day and the pallet forks add $50 a day.
Will it fit through my side gate?
Stand-on mini skid steers are built for side yards and backyard gates, and most residential gates are wide enough. Measure your narrowest opening and text us the number before you book. We’ll tell you if it fits.
I’ve never run one. Can I still rent it?
Yes. Stand-on loaders are simpler to learn than a full-size skid steer. You’ll get a walkthrough of the controls at pickup. Start on flat ground with small bucket loads, and you’ll be comfortable within the first hour.
Will the tracks tear up my lawn?
Tracks spread the weight and are much easier on turf than wheels. What marks a lawn is spinning in place. Make wide, gradual turns on grass and you’ll leave very little behind.
How do I get it to my job?
Tell us the address when you book. The machine weighs about 3,500 lb, so towing it takes a trailer and a truck rated for that load. We’ll sort out the best way to get it to your property.
