Re: Buying a used machine without seeing in person

I bought my second machine used - it was lightly used and needed some adjustments but no issues. ? I actually just rented a hydraulic lift trailer and used a pallet jack to load and unload. ? No drama - drove about 8 hours and picked it up myself

He was able to build a crate for it which I reimbursed him for, and I arranged shipping through Mainfreight. They showed up with a small lift gate truck to load and it was a little too small for the crate, so they had to do some creative rigging to get it loaded. IIRC they used an engine hoist to pick up the end that wouldn't fit on the lift gate. Freight was $350 from Houston to Brooklyn.
