Price Check Weird John Deere loader thing

Now looking on the classifieds, there are even complete used fork lifts (obviously not in top condition) under 1000€, and the fork-lifting part sold separately for 500 and under. Maybe it is just best to have the FEL for getting bales out of the field, and get just the standard one that lifts a bit over 2m, then figure out something with a forklift for stacking. I'm in more of a rush to get the FEL so in April when we continue home improvements I can use it for moving around the sand-gravel for making concrete. I imagine my back will feel a lot better when I'm transferring gravel from the FEL bucket at the same height as the mixer, vs scooping from the ground, and when thanks to it I can have the mixer closer to the point of work. Last year I went through 20 tons of sand-gravel making concrete for our garage and underground vermicomposting bunker. Hay won't need stacking till June or so, so I can figure out the forklift thing by then.
