Hey Eric,

When i was getting ready to move, I rented one. I picked it up at the
rental place, and itr was brand-new...I was the first useer. It
worked so good, that after I had it for 3 days, Icalled and asked if
they any used ones they would sell me. He laughed and said, we almost
never get them back if they rent out for more than 2 days, for the
same reason as I was calling, so he didn't have a used one, but would
cut me a good deal on buying the one I already was renting. I'm not
reallyn sure I got a "good deal" butm it was sure some of then best
machinery money I've spent. Just the bees-knees to move all sorts of
things, and handle just a bit of rough ground better than I expected
too.

Ohh..and machinery skates are higher capacity, but are about two or
three times the price of a pallet jack, not nearly so handy, and quite
a bit scarier to use, and take a whole lot of running around to each
corner to steer or a couple of helpers. Go for the pallet jack.
Keep looking. Auctions are fun anyhow.

Take care.

Positioning the
grinder was super easy with the pallet jack. Machinery skates would
have worked also but I don't have any and time was short. I think I'll
now look at auctions for a pallet jack.
