I'll ditto what Mike said. I think when I first started looking at these they were running around $800, but then they switched to a different supplier (Canadian), and I ended up buying for around $600. If you can afford this...do it...as this is one handy piece of equipment. I use mine all the time. You can move logs, paletize your firewood, lift shingles to the roof, etc. I can switch from my bucket to the forks in about 5 minutes or so. I am sure I have gotten my money's worth already....
