Moving a square load close to a piece of equipment on level ground is one thing. Moving a 2k rolo that's got a lot of weight off center is another. Wheeled rigs are horrible. 8-10k telehandler would be minimum. Tracked skid steer 2nd minimum. Some nice articulated ag tractors are made for Moving big bales but, your price point isn't friendly. Maybe an old lumber yard big fork lift might fit the budget? My 165 Ford TW 25 won't move around logs for crap. It's a big 4x4 |

Generally you can purchase a used forklift cheaper than other pieces of equipment. You could buy a nice one for 5k up until I needed to replace one. I drove to sw Oregon to pick one up under $5k I would buy a 5-6k lb forklift lift cap.toyota, komatsu Nissan, and some hysters. Late 90s early 2000 hyster have the GM 4.3liter v6 so parts are cheap and available. Not much computer controlled stuff on late 90s forklifts. I have propane and gas. Propane works great when it's not cold and for short periods of time or enclosed areas. Gas is superior for lots of outdoor use. Pneumatic forklifts can be made more off-road capable. |

Thinking this is what I’m going to end up with. Has dual front tires so should not sink in/get stuck as easily. Low hours and 4000# lift. |

I would look for a used moffett ! I have moved and loaded 20’ logs on and off flat bed trailers with ease ! They are 3 wheel drive and turn on a dime while driving on and off road! |
