    Want to Buy Rear mount bucket truck

    They're around. There was a nice 2012 a couple months ago but I just wasn't ready at the time. Looking at an 09 now but it's an altec and I really do not like altec as a company. If I see something nice I'll let you know.

    Am 900 altec

    The 900 is looooooong when stowed. The double bucket is a bigger problem than most think. I looked at an 855 with double bucket and would cost 5k to remove one. Its not as simple as cutting one off due to the hyd. controls. Do NOT buy a unit with the fiber optic controls. Make CERTAIN the...

I hang limbs with a lanyard and then hoist them out with the winch when there is a tight DZ or on take outs of broad trees where I can't reach the other side. Saves...

    Line clearing

    Thanks all. Bomar, I think acrt is the route I'm headed. Right now I'm working on getting some estimated work loads from the utilities to determine if I want to make the investment now to take advantage of pick up work or wait for the new contract to come up in a couple years. Has anyone...
