We use bobcats all the time and we usually get them from Civil Hirings (9409 1800). They charge $70 /hr + gst. 4hr minimum and 0.5 hr travel each way. They really make their money if they have to take stuff away from site.

Most bobcats are about 1700 wide so that wont be an issue. I would get them to check the height with the operator as most of them are around 2m. You might need to get one that usually does pools and has the roof chopped off.

They will do in 3 minutes what will take you 2 hours. They are a lot harder to drive than they look. You can learn to move stuff in a heartbeat but getting final levels for things like your shed is hard work. Good operators make it look easy.

If you need anymore information let me know cause we spend silly amounts of money on machine hire.
