Hey Guys, I would like to add a tele to my fleet for a serious of Barns and roofs I have in my future.

Near me is this Case TX842, but I didn't even know case made Telehandlers and searching they seem pretty rare.

Should I be concerned about parts availability? Seems like the perfect age and condition for me

My vote says no. I have seen exactly one in 35+ years of heavy equipment repair. Why get yourself in a bad situation for parts or service? I'd look at JLG, Skytrak or something. I'm not a fan of JCB, and Traverse is a problem for parts too. Just my opinion.

X2 - stick with JLG or Skytrak. 1,000's of those units out there running every day and they are staples in the national rental fleets.

Of course price ultimately dictates a decision. Looks like it's on an auction yard?
