Some conservation districts will rent them out, I've rented them from dealerships before. Another option is see if there's a pheasants forever habitat specialist in your area you could contract to do it for you. Check with your local conservation district first before giving up so easily. Likely they'll know how to help or steer you in the right direction.
I want my own!!
There are some for rent by many of the districts around here, but most take way more tractor than I'd ever buy. Until then, I'll do lots of Throw, Spray, and Roll.
FWIW, the folks you mention above I work with every day. But, that is great information to share as there are a lot of resources available to folks, they just don't know about them.
