Equipment Rentals in Siloam, GA

Siloam is a small Greene County community where the surrounding countryside matters just as much as the town itself. Rather than dense residential development, much of the work in this part of the county involves rural homes, farms, wooded land, long driveways, and acreage that needs periodic maintenance.

For those properties, owning heavy equipment isn't always practical. Renting it when a driveway washes out, trees come down, a fence needs to be installed, or another land project comes up can make much more sense.

Cornerstone Equipment Rentals provides jobsite delivery to Siloam, Georgia, from our Madison location.

When a Tractor Isn't Enough

Tractors are common on rural properties, but there are jobs where a compact track loader or excavator provides capabilities that a typical farm tractor doesn't.

Our Kubota SVL65-2 skid steer puts the attachment in front of the operator, provides track-driven traction, and can handle grading, loading, digging, brush, gravel, and material movement.

That can be useful when you're:

• Reworking a damaged driveway
• Loading dirt or gravel
• Cleaning around buildings
• Moving heavy materials
• Removing brush
• Cleaning fence lines
• Preparing a small building site
• Tackling several different jobs during the same rental

With attachment changes, one machine can take on several stages of a property project.

Reclaiming an Overgrown Piece of Property

On rural acreage, areas that aren't regularly maintained can gradually become difficult to access.

Saplings, brush, fallen limbs, storm debris, and old piles of material can take over the edge of a field or a section of wooded property.

Our 72-inch grapple bucket allows the skid steer to clamp onto brush and irregular debris rather than simply pushing it.

Once the larger material is removed, the skid steer can switch to a 72-inch toothed bucket or 72-inch smooth bucket for dirt work and cleanup.

That makes it possible to reclaim an area selectively without treating the entire property as a land-clearing job.

Handling Fallen Trees and Heavy Material

When the material becomes too large or awkward for the skid steer, our JCB 85Z-1 excavator provides another level of capability.

The approximately 18,000-pound excavator is equipped with a 36-inch toothed bucket and hydraulic thumb.

The thumb is particularly useful on wooded acreage because it allows the operator to grab and control:

• Logs
• Fallen trees
• Large limbs
• Rocks
• Brush
• Storm debris
• Other irregular material

The excavator can also perform general digging, drainage excavation, ditch work, and site preparation.

Maintaining Long Rural Driveways

A long driveway means more surface to maintain and more places for runoff to cause problems.

Heavy rain can move gravel downhill, cut channels across the road, expose soil, and create potholes or soft areas.

The skid steer can be used to move and redistribute aggregate, fill damaged areas, recover gravel from the edges, and reshape sections of the drive.

But if water repeatedly destroys the same area, grading alone may not solve it.

The excavator can handle heavier drainage excavation, while our 48-inch skid steer trencher provides an option for certain narrower trenching projects.

Addressing the water and then repairing the driving surface can be a more complete approach than continually adding gravel.

Fence Work Across Larger Tracts

Replacing a few backyard fence posts is one thing. Installing or repairing a long rural fence line is another.

Our skid steer auger is available with:

• 8-inch auger bit
• 12-inch auger bit
• 16-inch auger bit

Different bit sizes provide options for fence posts, larger gate posts, signs, and other repeated post-hole work.

The skid steer can also carry posts and materials along the fence line using our 48-inch pallet forks when appropriate.

Always have underground utilities properly located before drilling.

Working Around Ponds, Ditches and Low Areas

Rural properties often have drainage features that aren't found on smaller residential lots.

Ditches can fill with sediment or debris. Low areas can hold water. Access around ponds may deteriorate, and runoff can create erosion problems elsewhere on the property.

An excavator's reach can make it useful for certain ditch and drainage projects where digging directly underneath the machine isn't practical.

However, saturated ground, steep banks, pond edges, and soft soil require particular caution with heavy equipment. Machine weight and ground conditions should always be considered before entering those areas.

Preparing a Site Without Developing the Whole Property

A rural improvement doesn't necessarily mean a large subdivision or commercial project.

A Siloam-area property owner may simply need to prepare an area for:

• A barn
• Equipment storage
• A workshop
• A detached garage
• A farm building
• Another accessory structure

The work may involve brush removal, rough grading, moving fill, improving access, drainage, and moving construction materials.

Siloam is in Greene County. Customers planning construction or substantial site work can review Greene County Building & Zoning for current county information concerning zoning, permits, and development requirements.

For projects involving significant soil disturbance, Greene County also provides information through its Erosion Control Division.

One Rental Can Cover Several Jobs

For a property owner who has been saving up projects, the most efficient rental may be one that accomplishes several things.

For example, the skid steer could begin with the grapple cleaning brush, switch to the auger for a section of fence, and finish with a bucket repairing the driveway.

Our skid steer and attachment collection includes the available options for configuring the machine around the work.

That can provide more value from the rental period than bringing the machine in for only one small task.

Get the Debris Off the Property

After a cleanup, there may be brush, dirt, construction debris, or other material that needs to be hauled away.

Our 7×16 dump trailer has 4-foot sides, a 14,000-lb GVWR, and hydraulic dumping.

For appropriate loads, it can help move:

• Brush
• Storm debris
• Dirt
• Gravel
• Landscaping material
• Construction cleanup material
• General property debris

A skid steer or excavator can load the material mechanically, and the trailer's hydraulic system handles dumping at the destination.

See our trailer rentals for additional information.
