That sounds like a fair deal! I wish I had more of a hand in ours, but the GM took the reigns.

My biggest thing was having it purchased from somewhere locally that would actually service/maintain on a yearly schedule,
Our sister store had a Clark, and with regular maint, it lasted 30 years. Still running and working fine, just didnt meet requirements, so they sold it when the new one arrived.

Just a thought as I saw a truck being pulled into the shop with a bobcat.

Would a bobcat qualify? you can get fork attachments as well as snow removal and other items. This would give more uses for the money being spent.

Doubtful. I never saw the requirements (that was all on the SM), but I think I heard there was a height specification (must lift XX high), which I don't think a Bobcat would.

I did the search on Global : "EV Ready Resources" and obtained a pretty extensive list of their criteria notifications.
Edit: Generally speaking.
