At that price it may as well be free. It comes with 3 arbors that alone used are somewhere next to $200. So the machine is essentially sold for price of scrap - which is $240.
 
Somebody hurry up and buy this so I don't do something stupid this weekend.....
Now, from someone who knows something about being stupid from time to time, perhaps more depending on who you are talking to........ That is not a stupid move, missing out on it might be.

@Dan Dubeau can we enable you!
I don't need enabling, I can do that well enough myself :D. I need space. This is a no brainer buy, I just don't have space, or the time to move stuff around to shoehorn it in right now.

Timing is bad, and a bunch of other reasons. But this will be a great deal for someone no doubt. I'll pass....But I want it.....

At this price if you think its a problem lifting it even with engine hoist you can afford to hire a company. A tow truck etc. Its a steal.

People back out b/c they are afraid of 3ph power or some other stuff like too heavy, too big etc.

Buying tools/machines is never stupid - just need to get it past the Money Boss…

I take the "easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission" approach.

Victoria/Elliot are solid British made machines. I've got the larger "2" its a beast, 4hp, plows through anything, even at a 1" doc.

Dan....you know you want it!

Assuming there is no catch, loading the trailer should be easy with the fork lift on site, unloading at home with engine hoist and pump truck should be doable.
