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.
 
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..
 
What engine? Like the lift... what kind of controls? I'm not seeing how a pistol grip could operate? 4 levers?
 
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.
