I bet I could get the most money for a brand-new space shuttle. (You did say any machine).

But seriously, why would you want to rent out your own machines ? You thinking of starting a rental business ? I am not sure if I want the headache of others abusing my machines and return it in less then pristine condition.

That's easy.......a Maserati Gran Turismo or Lamborghini of course !!

Log splitter, TLB, Ditch Witch, Dump Trailer, PHD, Skid Steer, Chipper, Crane, Compressor... oh.. and yes.. a Space Shuttle.

Why do you ask? Thinking of starting up a business or just wondering?

Now, if I was going to rent to joe six-pack in suburbia, I would get a mid sized Kubota (about 30 hp) with HST and R4 tires. Option it out with a FEL, extra hydraulics for a grapple and 2 rear remotes. Also get attachments, 5' rototiller, Harley rake, snow blower, 48" root / rock grapple, rotary cutter and a decent box blade. I would also have a 24' gooseneck trailer that can carry it and a few of the attachments - but would deliver for 50 bucks +1 a mile for miles over 30.

That machine is small enough to not cause fear in the new to tractors person, yet stout enough to resist damage. Unlike a gear tractor that will have broken gears from idiots trying NASCAR speed shifting and burnt clutches.


Would love to discuss more, but I have to go play 165 grain tag at 3400 feet per second with Bambie's mom and dad.
