After looking at the pics NY put up yesterday, I kinda got dreaming about just how bad ass I would be with an all wheel drive, 75' rear mount. What a piece of equipment that would be in the right hands!!

I am seriously gonna look into spiders ! I may bust a nut on one , ditch the bucket and pull it with the 350 or a 250 and have some real reach .

Yeah, that beautiful Kenworth that Marquis bought last year is ****ing drool inducing. I think my next big deal will be a kboom though. Don't want a completely tarded out setup as I want it on a truck the size of my bucket. Wonder how big a kboom I could put on something like that.

That's some serious talk there rummy ! But I think your right that's a bad ass truck
You see the Teupens in the November shirrill mailer? The 86' (bottom of basket) looks like it'd be handy. Only 9,080lbs too. Its all you, Porks!!

I like them cause they can be moved by a one ton and used on nice lawns ! I got too many blades of grass to care about LOL
Pretty sure they would still tear things up pretty good, especially turning. I've heard the track chippers are brutal on lawns.

I've demoed a 90' spider and a90' tracked lift and I don't trust em ,man they are bouncy and they do tear up lawns . I guess if I were a little guy they probably wouldn't bother me but I ain't a small man

2 tree has 2 trees for legs LOL
I've noticed mine doesn't like lifting me if I'm stretched off the back all the way lately.. especially if backed down a steep hill. Oh well, it happens. Lol

I was told to have the lower valve spool rebuilt it will make a huge difference
Interesting. I'm still running off the pony, as I don't have the extra $1000 to $1500 to rebuild the truck PTO (spline stripped). I imagine the truck would have a little more nut.

Supposedly over time the lower valves get partially blocked at times restricting flow , kinda like only pulling halfway on the lever . I wanna drain all the oil I am sure I have water

With me it depends on the trees we are doing and where we are working. Most of the jobs I do are 5-10 miles from my yard so it dont matter much if I take everything, im paying insurance on them and wont use much fuel so I use them. If the trees are nice young ash or locust with not much dead I will bring the chipper if they are big old trees full of dead the chipper stays home. Most of the time and the easiest way is the bucket, log loader and mini. I do alot more bigger trees since I bought the mini and log loader, I can do them so much faster and easier. I still dont forget all the years I did it with not much for equipment. I am proud along with friends and family of where I am today.

Dont cry, just do it
I will have to check that out. Do you know where that valve is located. When the lower boom is at vertical and I am booming up with the upper boom about 90 degrees from the lower boom it slows down greatly. Sometimes I thinkni hear it gruntting. Jk. Lol
