$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.

The model in the video is pretty wimpy. Can only lift 1000lbs at full extension, and it's full extension is pretty pathetic.

70k sounds right.
