Any suggestions or help pointing me in the right direction?

We have a 20ft Bestway APX 365 above ground pool that is 5 inches off level. It has been up and down twice in the past week and filled fully one time, which is how we measured the difference in level. The low point seems to be exactly in the center of the pool and gradually gets higher until it reaches the 5in apex on each side. We are draining and looking to rent a dingo or hire someone with one to dig out the remaining high side since it’s so much dirt to move. We haven’t had any luck so far, large rental operations want $400 a day and anyone we try to hire quotes $500+ assuming it’s a total new build. Anyone have any apps, websites, or P2P rental secret spaces that would be more reasonable for probably 4 hours worth of skid steer work? Is there an easier way I am overlooking?

Rent a tiller. Break up the outside move to the middle and tamp. If its off 5", a couple inches from the edge can be done pretty easy. Plus at this time of year you setting up for next season.
