Renting the trackhoe shouldn't be a problem. Most places rent them in a size that's capable of doing what you want. Prices really do vary around the country, so I won't guess at what it will cost in your area. Daily, weekly and monthly rates also vary on who you rent from. Don't forget delivery. Some charge extra for this. If you can run a backhoe, then it's not that much more to working a trackhoe.
The dumptruck rental is where you'll have problems. I doubt you'll find one for rent anywhere. It's hard enough to buy a used one that's not total garbage. They are just in too much demand and too easy to damage or get stuck for renting.
How good are your roads? I was gonna buy a ten wheel dumptruck, but after test driving them, I realized it would be very dificult to get it around my land. I changed my mind and went with a single axle, five yard dump truck. It took awhile, and I was too late on most that came up for sale, but in the end, I bought a 1983 F600 gas engine dump truck for the farm. Not street legal, but it gets the job done. I've already been offered what I have into it, so there's really no way to lose money on it.
How much dirt do you want to move?
How far do you want to move it?
What are the conditions like for driving around and getting to the area you want to work?
