Realistically I need to lift 1.2-1.5t when Im working with Hardwood. If I bought my own Loader the Estate would be happy to provide all the extra ohmph above and beyond.  If fact the owner handed me the keys to his new Articulated Tractor over the weekend. I refused as Im not competent in such a machine, he'll give me lessons though.  

 

I'll see if I can find a pic

If you're going to be using it just around your own place for milling, then a rough terrain forklift is very good value. You'd pick a very very good one up for £10k, an old but serviceable dog for £4k easy. Will laugh at big old lumps of oak. Put some longish forks on it and it will be much more stable when loading the mill than a telehandler too. Often they are sold with a toe tip bucket which would also be handy.

 

My local sawmill use one and they are on the roughest, muddiest shithole you can imagine when it's wet. It's not 4wd and it does just fine.

Nice wee machine and would be prefect for my needs Just spotted an older one on ebay for £5k could well be a viable option in 2-3 months time

I'll get a rough terrain if forced into it, but I think they are just to big for my needs, plus it has to live at the house and Id rather not have something so ugly siting in full view.
