There is no doubting the usefulness and versatility of a telehandler, just ask any farmer who owns one. But many farmers who would like a telehandler, but don't own one, have put off buying for one main reason: price. With a new telehandler easily costing $100,000 it is little wonder farmers look elsewhere to spend their money. For those who manage to clock up the hours in their machine, like feed lots or hay merchants, justifying the purchase price is not a problem, and many owners regularly turn over their machines before hours on the meter climb too high. This creates a ready supply of used machines for farmers looking to get into a telehandler at a lower cost. If you only expect to do a few hundred hours a year, it is far easier to justify buying used than new.
