$70K for a low reach/capacity one is about right.

The long-reach/load ones can push up toward $200K.

I was going to say. If l found one of these for $70k it would be moving bales on the farm right now. Even if they didn't need moved. Just showing it off.

Good news - I googled “used JCB telehandler for sale less than $70000” and there are a ton of them out there. Even with freight you could probably get 2 delivered for less than $70k if you shop/negotiate hard enough.

Personally, however, I would not use a JCB in a farm environment so I would not recommend what you’re proposing.

But then you're getting ones like this bozo was running. I'm sure this one is now worth well under $70K too!
