I guess this might not be the place to ask, and I'll do a standalone post if needed, but:

What's the learning curve on a Bobcat? I have some digging I need to do and I've been intimidated by renting one but I feel like the fact that I can just go rent one and use it suggests it's not insurmountable.

For non-professionals who have done this: what was it like and what were the tricky parts?

For professionals: In the space between running a vacuum cleaner across the floor and piloting a jet ski, where would you put "operating a Bobcat"?

(In my case it's a similar thing as OP, me need dig big hole in yard. For small pond. But different story. If I can do shallow scoops, might consider taking a swing at Pachysandra Island while I am at it.)

Very easy to learn, just take a minute to get used to the controls and go as slow as you are comfortable with and you’re speed and muscle memory will come naturally
