That's the same experience I had with a skid 4n1.
As far as that Hamm goes it ran fine for 2 hours and then started throwing electrical fits not cranking, it was maybe a couple of years old and in good shape for a rental machine. Called the rental house and they walked us through getting it cranked and finally got it cranked. We just left it running until we finished compacting the base. And it had a Deutz, I had a bad experience with a Deutz and fuel pump solenoids in a Bobcat 863. I'll never own another one.
Sounds like that warehouse job could've been easily handled with a 953, D5/6 and a compactor. I like to pair the 953 and 321 for clearing and the 953 and D5 for topsoil and earth moving. If I only could have one machine to make a living it would be a 953.
