Takes a little hair on the balls at first if you're really used to just climbing, no doubt.

Ya I've only ran a bucket maybe 10 times so everytime I get in one I'm a little nervous I'll admit. I feel much better being tied to the tree.

I've had mine for seven years or so now. After a while you go to the dark side. The production is night and day on most jobs.

It is hard to make much of a living in this business without a bucket truck.

Nice! Have not been in one for a couple years but they are very handy and enable you to do more work if you have good access. Puts ground guys through hell though if you are just blasting through a job like you have wings $$$$$

Yep. So then came the bigger chipper... then the bigger chip truck. Fairly typical progression..

I have an aerial lift of Conn. LR50 but it needs some work.

Aerial lift of Conn. are a hard sell down here. Nobody runs them and you can't find anybody to work on them. This is hi-ranger, versalift, and altec country.
