Doing just fine, with a full schedule thank you. You jusr can’t stop bragging, can you?
Dave if you say you have been in business for 52 years and never made a mistake, you are a rare business owner.
In todays world, it is an entry level crane. Handy but entry levelBack in the early 80's here the absolute biggest crane you could rent (not sub) was a 17 tonner. Few and almost no crane companies did tree work. I got many of them into it when I moved here from NJ and had done it there in early 70's.
It is hardly an "entry level" crane. It is my 4th crane having prior a 12 ton, a 15 ton and a 17 ton. This REAR MOUNT 105' reach without the 45' jib on, 25 ton capacity crane with no man cab which I didn't want is ideal for tree work and no need to get in and out of the cab. Way less worries about crushed driveways. Not much I can't do with it beside boom over houses where I sub as my vids have shown. The large crane company owner (one of 4 I use) who I sub his 90 ton crane has repeatedly asked me to sell it to him whenever I want.
I could teach even a stooge like Classlessadei to operate it using the Sena headsets. Huge money maker. You timid types too skeered to get or operate a crane should get a lawn service going.
Crane purchase and any repairs/ maintenance is "a total write off expense".
Or exit level, in Dave’s case. Lol

The thing with cranes around here, and this was discussed in an old thread from 7 or 8 years back, is the POA's won't let you bring them in. I have to get permits in some to even bring in a 60ft bucket truck.

If something is "handy" then how can it also be "entry level"? Is an ms 150 stihl or a ms200 entry level because there is an ms880? Nothing I can't do with that crane that I can set up near. Maybe if I was setting trusses all day or putting air conditioner units on roofs like you probably do most days I might go bigger but I don't feel a need to.....

Yea, in that pic he grabbed a 40 foot horizontal limb that was 4 to 6 feet over the roof snipped it off zero movement and snuck it out. It was doable with a bucket but would have been a major pain a lot of cut and toss due to the proximity of the roof and lack of a landing zone. Merlo took 5 mins

Amazing. And no crane or knuckle would get in and set up and out of there. I love that thing. Thanks for posting. Sorry for busting your chops all the time but it is pretty much mutual if you know what I mean.

excellent deflection. Told you what I thought, not suitable for most of my tree customers. Works for you,that’s all that matters. Never climbed a tree, had no desire.If something is "handy" then how can it also be "entry level"? Is an ms 150 stihl or a ms200 entry level because there is an ms880?

I looked at getting one of those. Too much of a pain in the butt getting from job to job
I'll just say it rides on a deck over with a gvw of 68k.... so either it goes on a lowboy/semi or you have overweight permits... the combination that currently pulls it weighs in at 105k lol

That pic says it all. No neighborhood around me is letting us bring that crane in.
