Took the first step towards building my shop

That will sell like hotcakes; riders and material haulers alike.

Through my reworking the design I bent a couple of the applied for patents and one of the current patents so bad that me and the patent owner sat down and together had to write up several new points for him to submit to his attorney. But I didn't tell him about one main item I have designed to replace some componentry I'm writing that one up myself as a standalone which will not be use restricted so if this thing goes south between us I will have it and he wont be able to incorporate the system if he decides to take it elsewhere.
One thing in the new configuration that I made sure to incorporate is the platform can reach dock height something his can not do I feel that dock high capability will expand the market potential. Think about a pallet of machine parts needing to go to shipping warehouse or vice versa cutting fluids and what ever. or the landscaper who picks up a pallet of sod then delivers it to the jobsite.
Variations and options for the machine will add versatility which I have preliminary designs on but not set in stone as of yet
