Thanks for positive vibes man. This will be by far the largest purchase I’ve ever made (besides my house), but I’m a lot more comfortable with it because I know what to expect with it. I’d be very apprehensive buying some piece of equipment without fully knowing what to expect.I'm kind of psyched for you. That’s a pretty exciting move.
It’s interesting to me to see other companies, the equipment they run, etc. Also interesting to me is how our roots influence our businesses. Like how you said you started for a company that had cranes, etc. Back in the day I worked for one guy that liked crane work, but it wasn’t like we did it everyday. The couple others I worked for never really did crane work. I guess that’s part of why I never jumped right into the whole crane thing. I definitely see it as being a bad ass move though. Congratulations on that!
I just want to feel comfortable buying which ever crane I choose, so that’s why I walked away from that Altec. Purchasing it outright really puts a damper on my bank account, so avoiding a big repair expense right off the bat would be ideal. Ha
