Start with the application
Dugong rental and leasing should begin with the work: location, tractor, soil or material, area, required level or shape, transport constraints and what operation follows the grading.
The current commercial contact point is dugongscrapers.com.
Transport and access
The intended commercial model uses transport-company pickup and delivery rather than customer pickup. Freight, access, loading and timing should be confirmed for each job.
Rental does not replace planning
GPS, GNSS and laser can guide the desired level, but the land-management or construction plan determines what the level should be. Survey, engineering or agronomic input may be appropriate depending on the job.

Productivity, fuel and job economics
For planning purposes, Dugong uses a worked operating baseline of approximately 10 m³/hour material movement and approximately 5.5 L/hour tractor fuel under the stated reference scenario. These are planning examples rather than guaranteed outputs. See the transparent calculations, haul assumptions and landforming examples in the Productivity & Economics centre.

Rental selection checklist
A rental decision is strongest when it begins with the work rather than the machine name. The following checklist can be used before selecting a 900, 1200 or 1400.
- What problem or finished condition are you trying to achieve?
- What area is involved?
- What soil or material is being worked?
- What is the expected moisture condition?
- What tractor make/model and power are available?
- What hydraulic services and implement interfaces are available?
- Will the job use manual control, laser or GPS/GNSS guidance?
- What is the likely average haul or redistribution distance?
- Which model best fits the access, tractor and required material movement?
- What freight and site-access constraints apply?
- What rental/lease period is realistic for the job?
- What verification will show the finished area is ready for the next operation?
The Australian hire/rental pickup location remains TBA. Do not rely on an address or booking arrangement until it is published on the main Dugong Scrapers site.
