That's a very nice job, and looks like a combination of several things I've wanted over the years. Get a price out, for the basic unit plus the "options"- forks, boom, 5th wheel ball, etc. Make it in components, and sell the guys the components they want. Leave some flexibility in the components, as well- for instance, I log with my tractor, so I want a 5/16 grab hook welded right above the receiver, in place of that hook of undetermined origin in the pictures (pics 5 and 15). I have no use for a gooseneck ball, but most guys would want it. I don't need a boom, because I have a good loader tractor. But I'd love to have forks without adapting them to the loader arms and having to take the loader bucket off each time I want to use forks. The point here is, if you can "customize" it for each buyer by selling different combinations of components, you will have a winner. I'll order as soon as you have prices on components and are ready to start selling.
