Aloha SDTree. Still selling that R21? Hey Koa Man, which island are you on? Do you know of anyone with a spider lift on the Big island?
And your point is??? How is your Geckos going to do 50-75 ft. coconut palm trimming spikeless? I trim approx. 2500 palms a year at an average unit cost of $57 each. I think that justifies me owning 2 spider lifts, especially since the first one was already paid for more than 2 years ago.
If you are doing medium size takedowns for the cost of a set of Geckos, you are working cheap. We don't do many removals in Hawaii, most tree work here is pruning. I sell small pruning jobs like a single mango tree, 35 ft. high, 40 ft. canopy spread, with a 25-30% reduction for around $900. I do this on a regular basis, in fact, I have 5 of these jobs scheduled for November. Stump grinding a 3 ft. dia. stump, 6 inches high, and taking it down 8-10 inches below grade goes for around $350.
No hard feelings, we work in two completely different parts of the world, and people here pay a lot more for tree work.

I know it's pretty late but I would like to get in touch with you regarding alternatives solutions to Teupen. Are you still in the market to buy a unit or have you done it sionce the past 9 years?I am not a rep trying to sell anyone anything. I was just wondering if anyone here has seen an alternative spider lift? Since Teupen has a sponsored forum, they didn't like it when I mentioned their competition.
When you get to the link, scroll all the way down. Look for "You can view the video by clicking here" typed in red.

I wished they featured their R21 (taller lift) in the video. Check out their R21. This link has a 3 page photo gallery of tree work. Cool stuff.

Tracked Lifts in NY was the exclusive importer and support network. They only imported 4-5 models to the US. They stopped selling the machines and providing support in 2009. Since then, the company in Italy went out of business - something about an Italmec truck mounted boom fishplate weld failure down under in Australia. No parts, no support, 12 yr old machine? I'd stay away.I am looking to purchase a 2008 Italmec R21. Im trying to do some homework before the purchase. I am having a difficult time finding a dealer in the USA. I am also having trouble finding anything online. Does anyone know where i could get parts/ service if needed? Any information/ thoughts about the R21 world be appreciated.
