Hey guy's, I wonder if we all report this post as a group, what do you think trimmed would do? He basically said we bring it on ourself and unless we do something, well, or keep him for those old day's when I watched 'HEE-HAW!'.

I would start by thanking the good lord you aren't dead yet and finish by selling the truck and hanging your head in shame. It's truly pitiful that men of your caliber simply assume they can walk right into our realm with a 25 year old bucket truck and steal our work.

Baaahaaaahaaa.
Giving tree guys a bad name.
Aye nice bucket. Congratulations kid.
Forgetaboutit. We run an old 1 and have to maintain it constantly. Its nice to use for entering the tree so you can actually get to work. They kill my lower back and shoulders when I do get in it. Don't get me wrong it has its moments, overheating, tipping while booms out, and it drives like the body is going to tear off the chasis in corners....but its cool on hazardous removals....it can reach......I would of prefered a mini skid and a dump trailer. Putting the material on the ground is the easy part. Cleaning it up is the work.
