[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7590933, member: 348"] It doesn't really matter if you can justify it to those around, or on here. Can you afford it? I'm a one man band on 320ac, but I have a 2002 JD tractor and a 2008 Merlo telehandler. Both will likely/hopefully see me out here. Having driven them for 35 years, I certainly wouldn't like to be without a telehandler. Their versatility replaces an extra pair of hands for a lot of jobs, and having both means that I can load fert spreaders, trailers, etc easily. If you get a telehandler (or tractor to an extent) with high hours, then be prepared for some big bills sometime, and just hope they don't arise. [/QUOTE]
