So I've been looking for over a month trying to find the perfect lathe. I've been going back and forth between 3 in 1s (you guys convinced me against that lol) or doing it right and I think I've found one that works. Unfortunately it's about 800 pounds and 2 hours away in Prescott, AZ. I am in Scottsdale, AZ. So I'm trying to figure out the best way to move it. I have a Nissan Xterra. I am thinking I could install a tow kit on it and rent a drop bed trailor. The guy can lift the lathe on to the trailer with a cherry picker and then when I get home I will use a drop bar to lift it on a dolly and roll it off. I don't have a cherry picker. I am trying to do this the most economical way possible as I'm already over budget. I could rent a uhaul but they charge per mile and that would add up. Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.
