Bobcat MT120, mini skid loader/skid steer

Description

$120 – 4hrs, $165 – 24hrs, $330 – Weekend*

The Bobcat MT120 is a game-changer for Marysville homeowners because it combines industrial power with a footprint barely wider than a wheelbarrow. Its vertical lift path and specialized track system make it the ultimate tool for navigating backyard gates and sensitive turf.

1. The “Backyard Gate” Advantage

The biggest hurdle for residential projects is access. The MT120 is specifically engineered to solve this:

• Ultra-Narrow Width: At just 35.6 inches wide with standard tracks, it comfortably clears a standard 36-inch backyard gate.

• High Clearance: Despite its narrow frame, it features a best-in-class lift height of 88.2 inches, allowing you to dump material over high fences or into the center of a dump truck.

• Low Surface Impact: With a ground pressure of only 4.3 psi, it “floats” over established lawns, meaning you won’t spend your weekend repairing deep ruts in your grass.

2. Top Project Applications

Because of its size and power, the MT120 is the go-to rental for these specific Union County projects:

• Retaining Walls: Moving heavy stone and block into tight corners where a full-sized skid steer can’t turn.

• Trenching & Drainage: Digging for French drains or running utilities behind existing landscaping.

• Soil Prep: Clearing brush and grading soil for new garden beds or patios.

• Material Hauling: Transporting pallets of sod, mulch, or gravel from the driveway to the backyard.

Pro-Tip for Rental Customers:

When you pick up the MT120, remember that it features a ride-on platform. This keeps you out of the mud and gives you a much better view of your bucket or attachment, which is crucial when working close to a house or fence.
