he kept picking it up and dropping it

I think the final drives fit a D8H, and last one of those we had to buy was over $5K, so there's 10K, I think the transmission was the same as well... but, it's a Kia by now...

Very idiot fork lift operadtpor . Is Badddddddddd

What a shame!

$9400.00 in scrap, at most. those machines are hard to find anymore. sure seems like a waste of good iron.
-
Wasn't too heavy, the hydraulics weren't holding. That size loader should be able to pick that thing up and throw it over the roof. If it was too heavy, the back wheels would lift. Be checking the hydraulics out for an overhaul.

The loader operator is not doing his machine any good trying to lift it he will blow a hydraulic pipe

-
Why didn't he drive it off trailer or pull it off it looks like it's in good condition just to be scrapped
