Price sounds good. Sounds like you have the right idea about things. I would offer some suggestions from my experiences with a similiar unit. I put a two spool valve with a joy stick on the fork lift. One direction for the lift and the other for the tilt. Works real nice to be looking at the work while working the handle. 2500 # jumbo containers into wagons is NOT small lifting. I do it with my set up on a JD 3020 but with a great deal of caution. Hopefully the mast you are looking at has wheels at the base. If not you will probably be limited to the bigger tractor during planting season. My mast weighs about 1250 empty and when you put more than 18 bags of seed the 3 point won't lift so have to run on the wheels of the mast. We have a FEL on the 3020 and when handling beans I usually scoop up a bucket full of gravel for counterweight. You will find that you will always want this unit on something so it is always available. Will also find yourself putting lots of things on the farm on pallets that you used to handle by hand. These units are real back savers. HTH jt
