The under $20K Versalift we bought a few years ago was from a place in Longmont.WE are Very Rural. and yeah, I'm a noob.
I'm in Colorado. Do these things need to be re-certified annually??
If you put forks under the basket of a tow behind wouldn't that be out of the scope and you'd be liable anyway.
In my last career, I was a professional rock climbing guide, so I am well aware of liability, scope and how anyone can sue anyone for any reason. All you can do is be as safe as you can with what you have.
