We've been renting both a Toro Dingo and a Bobcat MT52 a lot this season and a few times last season......I love both of them.... In fact seriously considering purchasing one of the compact trackloaders. This machine is perfect for our needs in small residential landscaping where by little is disturbed from it's use. For a crew of two it increases their efficiency and handles the work of two extra men. With that said keep in mind it does really have it's specific nitch of existing residential landscape applications with little disturbance to the property and areas of tight fit.
P.s. look at this co:

a friend bought one this spring...the 1150 model.... I'm going to rent it from him this week to check it out. Handles a lot more than the Toro of Bobcat.
