I had a blue heeler growing up, they are bad ass dogs , mine wouldn't come in the house , he spent days wondering around the farm and nursery , he was a cat hater/killer though , if he saw one and caught it he would shake it once and that was that. I was just looking for another one for a truck dog the other night . OBTW nice bucket too LOL :hmm3grin2orange: , crazy I like dogs better then trucks anymore

Funny mine doesnt come in the house either. Doesnt mind cats kills squirrels and wood chucks. Great with the kids! A dog is more loyal than a truck!
your right about kids , I saw my dog go ape#### on the neighbors retriever once because he growled at my little sister , and man I was surprised to see him go from zero to complete ####head in the blink of an eye . Man now I miss my dog , my sister still has one , she has the brown one , a small female

You buying used or new? The pic at the top is my experience with used ones look at the hole covered by jb weld where a rod blew on a 3126 cat diesel it was a High ranger lift forestry unit. The seller said no problem! But I was not told about this till I confronted him on the phone later. he was told deliver it in the day so we could inspect it . The truck was then delivered at midnight!!!!!!

just so all you guys know, i stand behind every truck we sell for 60 days. without knowing me or ever buying a truck from us, you never know. kid cars sells a ton of truck with teco booms, we wont sell a truck with a teco boom for the simple reason that teco is OUT OF BUSINESS. check us out and see what were about before believing nonsense from one unhappy customer

I don't know how you treat fellow truck salesman , but if I see someone about to waste there hard earned money on junk or with a crook believe me I am gonna listen to that person and probably not buy from that person , that being said I am a grown man , and I am fully aware of buyer beware ... I don't complain when I get beat by someone , most of the time I just burn down there house !!!!! Just kidding ......... Or am I ?

If you stand behind every truck you sell, them how comes the guy from colorado that bought a bucket truck that broke down 2 miles from your shop say you won't help him out. Where was this so called 60 day warrenty. Thing is its not just me saying you sell junk, its a bunch of people.

its not a bunch of people, its just you, the Colorado buyer CHOSE to purchase his truck in AS IS condition without putting it through our service facility. i hAVE explained this before but i will again !. so since he chose to purchase his truck without us going through it then he got a AS IS product. he saved 6000 dollars by choosing to buy the truck that way. in this world you get what you pay for. and to top it off he flew 2 complete junkies out here to drive the truck back to CO. neither of them had a cdl. they wanted to take the truck with no insurance. i had them sign off on all liability on the truck,. what they did was drove it with the ebrake on for several miles from our shop and it heated up and the brakes seized. warranty or not !!! i do not warranty stupidity !!!!!!!!!

The E brake was at the rear brakes not at the drive shaft?

First off in pa, I have never been able to drive off a dealer lot without having insurance on the vehicle. I would guess thats a LAW, that you broke. I have seen trucks drive for miles and miles with the e-brake on and never heard of one seizing from the heat. I think there would be a better chance of it catching fire then seizing.

How comes you bad mouth all your competitors (like the time you called first fleet thieves), and call employees of a customer "junkies".

I have never see California Tree Equipment say anything bad about a competitor.
