That is a decent price. I bought mine for right around that price with 3400 hrs. Close to 5000 now. Keep telling my wife you are going to use it to bury me.

Thanks for the pic. Good price for the hours.
Have you tried lifting the 2,000 pounds yet?

No, I haven't tried lifting much of anything yet - It's spring and I don't need to buy any pellets for the stove right now. I also don't have pallet forks yet. Can 3 pt. forks be converted for a bobcat or am I better off to just buy the forks?

I'd say buy the QA forks. You can find many deals on new QA forks for $500-600. Maybe even for less used on CL. I see them occasionally for sale.
Probably wouldn't mess with trying to convert 3 pt. forks.

Yes, you can buy an adaptor plate to convert 3 point to quick attach. However, that will also put the load further out front. You machine will be much more unstable. I agree with the above rrply; buy the pallet forks designed for a skid loader.

Buy a good set of forks designed for the skid loader. There is a lot you can do with them!

I bought these Fork Frames Skid Steer for $498 and really like them on my 773. Didn't realize how often I could use forks until I had them - worth every penny.
I also bought their root grapple and use that all the time.
