Telehandler or Skid Loader?

[Xfaxman]

I like the look of that machine a lot. what sort of price are you looking at on one of those?

That is what I was wondering for your part of the world.

Over here in 2010, it was $52,000. The first used compact telehandler that I bought was $26,000.

How big is the telehandler you are looking at? The only one I have ever used was a full size 25,000 pound cat. It would be pain to use for what you describe. It would lift 45 feet high which was sweet.

I cannot justify $50K for a tractor to my wife.... :laughing:

I've had a New Holland LM5040 now for 5 or 6 years. Here's a pic taken today of us making a video "How many farmers does it take to change a light bulb?"
