Well if it is easy to get in there and little risk to the rest of your yard I'd say go for it. If it's too hard, you can always fall back to the shovel. We rented a Kubota last year but hired a pro to run it. We still had a few hours left on the rental when the main work was finished. My wife was bored and watched a few YouTube videos and was out digging up the yard before I could stop her. She cleared away a nice apron around our in ground trampoline that we later filled with pea gravel. Next thing she did was use the blade to level out some spots on our driveway.
Here's her after a half hour:
And don't forget to call before you dig!
