    A neighbor told me he has a lathe for me but his tracked skid steer can only lift 4000lbs and couldn't even budge it so he was going to get another neighbor's skid steer and both of them pick it up to put it on a trailer. I said I can drive my 25000lb forklift over and just carry it home since it is only 6 miles to his place.
    He assured me they could do it. I'm waiting to see if the lathe winds up like that loader did
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    Make sure you arrive before they start to move it so you can video it and post it here...

    I know you just want to see an old man cry when they drop the thing. I've never seen the lathe and if they drop it without me ever seeing it then oh well, I already have 6 lathes.

    To me handling machinery is like carrying a dozen eggs, you do everything you can not to drop them.
