If anyone could answer one, some, or all of these:
1. I've never operated one- how do you learn straight out of the box- like backing it off a trailer? If I rented from Home Depot, do they give yoiu any short demo before handing the keys to the trailer, or bring it to your job site? ( I can get this answer from them directly, but if youi have the answer thanks...)
2. What size trees/bushes can it knock down? up to 3 or 4" in diameter? more? If you want to uproot a small tree, does it make it more difficult if you were to first cut it down to a shorter stump (like a foot or two) with a chain saw?
3. What I'm trying to accomplish: clearing out underbrush, small diameter trees, making a few trails, re-grading a rough gravel topped road that has a lot of new weeds and small bushes growing in it. Would I be better off with a larger tractor (which they also rent at HD)?
4. What's the "scariest" or "most important" thing to know about operating one of these?
Thanks!
