If you searched for a skid steer rental in Rochester, this is the machine you are after. The 317G is a compact track loader — same job, same attachments, but on rubber tracks rather than wheels, which means it stays productive on wet spring ground, fresh fill and snow instead of digging itself in. Grading, material moving, pallet work, demo cleanup, snow pushing. Plenty of people call this kind of machine a “Bobcat” — if that is what you are looking for, this is it.
It is spec'd for full days in the seat: enclosed cab with heat and air conditioning, air ride seat, pilot controls and a rear view camera. The 72-inch construction bucket is included in the base rate. A 72-inch brush grapple is available on top of any 317G rental for land clearing and debris work.
Commercial snow contractors: this is also the unit we offer as a full-season winter rental — $2,500 per month, November through April, one machine for the 2026–27 season. Reserve early; there is one available.

Skid Steer & Compact Track Loader Rental in Rochester, NY — FAQ
Do you rent skid steers in Rochester, NY?
Yes. Our John Deere 317G is a compact track loader, which does the same work as a skid steer and takes the same style of attachments, but runs on rubber tracks for better flotation on soft ground and snow. It rents for $175 a half day, $295 a day, $595 a weekend, $1,150 a week or $2,500 a month.
What is the difference between a compact track loader and a skid steer?
A skid steer rides on four wheels; a compact track loader rides on rubber tracks. The tracks spread the machine's weight over more area, so it does less damage to turf, floats better on mud and fresh fill, and keeps traction in snow. For most Rochester-area jobs, especially in spring and winter, the track loader is the more useful machine.
Can I rent the 317G for the whole winter?
Yes. We run a dedicated winter rental for commercial snow contractors: $2,500 per month, November through April, on a five to six month term. There is one machine available for the 2026-27 season, so it goes to whoever reserves first. Snow clearing and pushing only — no salt or de-icing material through the bucket.
Is there a grapple available for the track loader?
Yes, a 72-inch brush grapple. It is $150 a day, $250 a weekend, $500 a week or $1,300 a month on top of the machine rental, and it is the attachment most land clearing and storm cleanup jobs need.
How much does it cost to rent a skid steer for a day?
Our John Deere 317G track loader is $295 for a full day or $175 for a half day (4 hours), with the 72-inch bucket included. Weekends are $595, a week is $1,150 and a month is $2,500. Rates are subject to 8% Monroe County sales tax, and delivery is a flat $150 round trip.
Is this the same as renting a Bobcat?
Yes, for most jobs. Bobcat is a brand name that many people use for any skid steer or track loader. Our John Deere 317G does the same work and runs on rubber tracks, which gives it better traction on mud, fresh fill and snow than a wheeled skid steer.
Do you deliver skid steers to Webster and other towns around Rochester?
Yes. Delivery is a flat $150 round trip within about 25 miles of Rochester, which includes Webster, Penfield, Irondequoit, Greece, Gates, Chili, Henrietta, Pittsford, Fairport, Spencerport, Brockport and Victor. Longer hauls elsewhere in Monroe, Wayne, Ontario, Livingston, Orleans and Genesee counties are quoted on request, or you can pick up free at our Rochester yard by appointment.
How much can the 317G track loader lift?
John Deere rates the 317G at 2,125 pounds rated operating capacity with a tipping load of 6,070 pounds. Its vertical lift path gives a hinge pin height of about 10 feet and a dump height of about 7 feet 5 inches with the construction bucket, which clears most dump truck sides. The machine weighs about 8,400 pounds and is about 72 inches wide with the bucket, so plan your trailer and gate accordingly.
