Mini excavators & skid steers for Toowoomba & Darling Downs
Black soil plains, basalt on the range and cold winters by Queensland standards.
Toowoomba sits on the edge of the Great Dividing Range above the Darling Downs, with Highfields and Crows Nest to the north, Warwick and Stanthorpe to the south and Dalby out on the plains.
Ground
Red basalt soil and rock on the range, black cracking clay on the Downs that is fertile, sticky when wet and rock-hard when dry, and granite around Stanthorpe. Frosts and occasional snow at Stanthorpe.
Typical jobs
Rural fencing, dams, shed pads, drainage on the black soil, vineyard and orchard work in the Granite Belt, and suburban landscaping in Toowoomba's growing estates.
Machines that suit
The R22 PRO and R32 PRO for the clay and rock, with a ripper and breaker; the RS10 skid steer for farms. Freight from the Gold Coast is about three hours.
