He has a few Bobcats and Trailers, he runs a landscaping business.
After it gets here I have my Gehl it looks like we could get the forks under it (please let me know if I am wrong).
I am waiting to see where the reserve ends up.

Potential buyer beware, that lathe has an indexeing headstock,the upper pawl is missing,not a deal breaker to me as I can make one but from a negotiating sense, someting to consider.
No forklift needed,two guys can move it no prob on a dolly.

This How I moved mine last year,wife pushed, I pulled,no biggie.
