I would think the hardest part would be reversing the controls (steering wheel, pedals, etc...).

Wow, pricey. You can buy a real rough terrain forklift for 5000$ around here.

There is just something WAY off with that ad and their price and claim of weight.
3800lb tractor + 900lb on the nose + the heavies edwards listed is under 1500lbs = 6200lbs. The guy is off by over 2 tons:confused2:
And the MSRP on deeres website is ~ 28k. The tractor itself can probabally be bought for 10% or more off that. So a $25k or less tractor. Is that forklift attachment really cost $15k:confused2:
Definatally over priced IMO
