Hey just wondering if anyone on here has bought used bucket trucks from schmidys machinery and how they were to deal with?
Both of those rear mounts are awesome looking trucks.. love the IH!! seems priced reasonably too.
sweet trucks for sure.
The way i went was to find a private seller and hire a boom tech to go over the boom and give a non biased opinion on it prior to purchase. I'm wary of dealers as they seem to spend more time making a 15k truck look like a 30k truck than they do just making it safe and reliable. I'd rather buy a 15k truck and spend the extra 15k fixing it up so i know what i have.

So are you the owner or employee there?
Oh, and to answer the thread starters original question. Schmitdy's takes decent trucks priced well, sprays them white, and sells them for triple cost. So they can beat it.
shameless plug ? yes i own tristate forestry equipment. and im here to help anyone who may need my advice. we sell some of the highest quality equipment in the industry. all of our trucks are inspected and di-electric tested, all boom updates are done before a truck is sold. DOT inspected. completely and thoroughly gone through . we have a professional in house paint shop and we can offer any color combination. not to mention all of our trucks are atleast 10 to 15% cheaper then similar trucks out there that have half the quality work put into them to make them a safe , reliable truck. so you can all it a "shameless plug" i call it networking.
Nothing wrong with a shameless plug. That's why it's called shameless. Whats the best you can do on the IH EL? PM me if you'd like.
