I'm looking at buying a Grizzly G0453PX 15" planer and am trying to decide whether I should pick it up from the warehouse (it's only a couple hours away) or have it delivered.
If I pick it up, my concern is how to get it out of the back of my pickup truck - it's a heavy package at over 600 lbs, but I can't tell whether it ships pre-assembled or if it comes in pieces that I can wrangle one at a time without taking the whole crate out of the truck. I have a friend with a skid loader and forks that I might be able to coerce into helping, but he's 20 miles away and it's a hassle to get it loaded and unloaded for a 5 minute job...
So, owners of this model, what was your assembly experience like? Did any of you pick up the planer at the warehouse?
