I asked for a quote; we'll see what they say...

The SIZE of that beast!
So... they're going to ship it UPS?

Yeah, they'll just load the UPS truck on the semi, no problem...

From FL out here will have to enter in to the picture for sure. I
bought a JLG 40H 40-ft boom manlift the year came back to the farm owing
to needing the reroof job on it and the house plus several other high
jobs could see including trees. Broker was in FL while machine outside
Chicago--he had arrangement w/ private trucking and guaranteed it for
$600--ended up costing $800 but he kept his bargain. It weighed about
12k lb and took up most of the load; if they can find shared load one of
these is probably about 2000lb and doesn't take up much space so
shouldn't be _too_ bad but it's been a while since I've shipped
something sizable; fuel surcharges have to be a factor.

I've not heard on this one; they sent a $3500 quote for a 12" Crescent
w/ a "make an offer" disclaimer. I'm sure I'll manage to fight off the
urge, but it's a temptation, sure...

BTW, they've a nice-looking 16" General up north closer to you; somebody
has even retrofitted it for single-phase...

That'll prep some stock for the carver...
