Altec is about the only current company that makes round booms , most other are square . Square booms can be a real pain as they gert hung up on tree limbs easier . The newer Terex Hi-ranger are very nice for a square boom construction . I think the best choice would ultimatley be service , You really need to have service and customer support nearby . If Altec has a service shop within a 100 miles or so and Hi ranger has a service dept 500 miles away , the safer bet would be the closest supported company. Your current hi-rangers are very good units and it would also be a good choice to stick with tried and true equipment that you are familiar with
