Hey, guys!
So, as I'm spending more and more time in the shop, and working on larger and larger projects, I've decided to go ahead and buy a secondhand forklift, for safety and productivity reasons...
And as I've used a couple of forklifts, one a fair amount of hours, but never have bought one, I've got a few questions that I wanted to ask, and see if anyone could answer:

Or if everything works as it should, then it should be fine?
Looking for a nice little Japanese machine. I'm initially somewhat scared by the concept of having something thats battery powered, that sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen. Any insight is appreciated...

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
