Great find Tim!  You don't know how many times I've wished I had something like that!  Work smarter, not harder!

Very versatile machine having the high mast will come in handy for lots of uses. Nice score.

Very nice! Very similar to my MF 2200 forklift. Don't know what I would do without it. When it was down a few weeks ago with a blown PS line I didn't know what to do with myself. Now that it is up again, I am very thankful!
