Hi Im looking at buying a forklift for around the farm. Not really for a heavy lifter just antique plows and seed. Anyone own one or have experience with a 3pt forklift? Pros and cons? Im looking at one that was originally on a forklift that they converted to 3pt. It had a 5000# capacity. He says it goes up 20 feet or so. Rigged up to work on hyd outlet good. Wants $800 sound good? Would put a cyl in toplink spot so i could angle it down and such. What do you all think? Im worried about ballast on front of tractor. Have a 4020 diesel widefront with front weights that would be on most of the time. Also have 4430 widefront with full suitcase weights we could lift seed bags with. We lift 50 bushel bags of beans into hopper wagons. About 2500# I believe. Will it work? Thanks for any thoughts/experience.
Matt
