>should you get this inplace of a forklift
I have an 8000lb forklift as well. Caterpillar V80D The telehandler will do much better on rough terrain and muddy ground and will reach a lot higher (although at reduced capacity of course). Both are extremely handy, and you should get what suits your use-case scenario and what you can afford. I wouldn't want to live without my forklift, and I'm sure after I do a bit of work on the telehandler and get some use on it I won't want to live without it either.
