Well, there's very expensive airplanes, and then there's what I own. My plane is 70 years old next year, it was bought for $14k, and I had to put about $3k into it to make it fly right. Annual mx runs about $800 or a bit more, I don't bother with insurance, and my parking costs are $65/month. So, I guess I'm at the ''bottom feeder'' of the airplane market.
But - to answer your question directly, yes - if I want to spend $20k on a decent grader, spend $1000 to have it hauled in from the upper midwest, then do my grading, of course I can do that.

Surely I could buy a $1500 beater and let it sit at the airport an hour away until I go up there. So, it's all about allocation of resources. I can buy drill stem pipe for peanuts, I have an old axle in the yard, and a few bucks for steel and some welding rod and I"m in business. Prolly take a weekend to fab up.
