I have seen a Toro Dingo at one of the rental places that was pretty small
and it had many attachments. Hopefully you can get the tower through this
passageway.

I live in NW Louisiana. I'm looking for a concrete contractor to install a
base per specs for a US Tower HDX-555. I need a hole 5' X 5' 7.25', rebar,
about 7 cubic yards of concrete, and 3 anchor bolts in the right place. I
have the anchor bolts and base. (If the layout of my lot, house, and pool
would allow it, I'd put up 60' of Rohn 45G, with 2 sets of guy wires.)
A major consideration is that access to my backyard is 42.5" wide through a
walk gate and between an A/C compressor and a brick wall. If the A/C
compressor were temporally removed the width of access would increase 4" to
46.5" - not wide enough I'm told for even the smallest of back hoes.
Removing a section of fence for better access is not an option.
Yeah, and moving/removing the air conditioner compressor/condenser is a
very non-trivial operation, since you have to pump out the refrigerant,
cap it, then put the refrigerant back in, etc.
Several hours work at probably $100/hr when all is said and done.
Your basic Bobcat is about 5 ft wide.. However, because it's fun to go
through the Bobcat catalog.. you COULD potentially find a Bobcat
MiniTrackLoader with the Backhoe attachment. The Mini TrackLoader is only
3 feet wide.

Yeah, it says it's compatible, BUT.. that's a pretty small base for a big
ol' arm hanging out there. It might exciting to operate.
