Compact Track Loader Rental in Raleigh, NC
A compact track loader (CTL) is a skid steer on rubber tracks. It floats over soft ground, climbs slopes better, and keeps working when the Carolina clay gets slick. It’s the machine for grading a driveway, spreading gravel, clearing brush with a grapple, or leveling a pad for a shed or garage.

Tips before you start

- ▸Grade with the bucket floating and back-drag for a smooth finish.
Compact Track Loader rental FAQ
What’s the difference between a track loader and a skid steer?
Same basic machine, different undercarriage. Tracks spread the weight, so a track loader works better on soft, wet, or sloped ground. Wheeled skid steers are faster on hard surfaces and cost less to run. See our skid steer vs. track loader guide.
Can I clear land with a compact track loader?
Yes. With a grapple you can pick up and stack brush and small trees. For thick undergrowth, a forestry mulcher grinds it in place. Large trees should be cut first.
Do attachments cost extra?
