weve sold a deere 544g with 13000 hrs, and a 444j hi lift with 15000 or so.

for what your doing I don't think youll want a hi lift. I loved our 544gs for those purposes, get jrb couplers. forks can be found easily. plus youll run across different bucket or bigger forks in the future. I thought the (feel) of the hydraulics on the gs was easier than newer loaders.

you say now youll only run it once a week, once its there you will use it more, and your forklift will sit.

I say g series because that's the oldest ive ran, youll want something with a good park brake (electric over hyd), not sure if cs had that or not. and easy to get in and out of.
