"We've been using the Rhino Solar Pro for about 18 months, and we've had great luck with it. Rhino Tool has been very helpful in solving any issues. The machine is high quality and has performed well in nearly every situation. I like that we can use our skid loader to drive the piles as well as carry materials around the job site."
