Here are some old pic`s a homeowner took back in 05, hot miserable day I wont forget!! this is with my old ameriquip unit, thought some might like to see the old simple machine in action!!!

The spruce tree was about 5 ft from the house & very close to powerlines, as you can see the lift wasnt tall enough!! I was gonna climb but thought Id cradle the top over the house, yeah I know gutsy or stupid!! it worked & I have done this many times so I was pretty sure about it!!!! thank God!
The spruce grew in font of the garage right between the doors, why the home owner let it get so big before removal is beyond me!!
The other pic`s are of an elm tree that had a very bad lean over the house, not to mention the base was bad, the last pic is me taking a break before the spar drop, & yes I wear a hard hat which on some occasions I just took off the sweat bands were so soaked(all of em) to the point of burning my eyes!!
This old lift did alot of work, was my first towable & cost $8100.00, I was the first & only one in the area to have something like this including rental agencies, wasnt long before they got em though!!

That looks lke a nice tuff lift. To be honest the older manual stuff is usually the most reliable stuff. What was the working height of that unit. Are they still being made?
I wish that they made a taller machine, I like the design and look simple and effective. I just got a price of a local tmz50/30 for 20,000 with the self propelled option. I think that it is a 02 or 03.
