I've been looking into buying a used mobile crane for on-farm construction tasks such as setting steel roof rafters.
Browsing auctions for government equipment I saw many Terex LRT-110, a mil-spec crane, with very low hours (under 50) regularly sell for around $15,000 in operating condition aside from a dead battery. I don't know how old they are, but assume most were made in the 1990s.

How do these military cranes compare to other used cranes? Is there expensive maintenance I should expect to do immediately?
Would something else like a carry deck crane or telehandler make more sense? I want to spend under $20,000.
