| I guess that I am not being very clear, currently we have a three point fork lift with fixed forks. We also have a skid steer that is not big enough to lift seed boxes that is only used a few hours a year but is indispensible for those uses. We were going to get a used forklift that would lift 5000 or more pounds to handle the lift jobs around the farm and use the three point to take the boxes off the trailer and set them on the planter. Another three point lift would require another tractor which we don't have available and it also is hard on the neck looking back all the time.
We then got the bright idea of purchasing a telehandler instead of a forklift and that machine would also do the job of the skid steer. One motor and drive unit instead of two.
We handle the seed boxes as well as a lot of chemical containers and shuttles.
