    still, its pretty much a free lift and regears your axles to correct power and speedo for like 235's i think.

    Any Tracker/Sidekick drivers?

    My first car was a 2Dr Sidekick 4wd. Get you some springs out of a 4dr, get a 2" coil spring spacer. Get the front and rear differentials out of the 4dr and swap into the 2dr. Bam, perfect for 30-31" tires, which on that thing are a beast. Cheap junkyard upgrade kit. Funny you mention crown...

    One ton opinions

    We run a bucket truck with the forestry package, lots of boxes. The one ton pulls a 20ft enclosed trailer "mobile shop on wheels" so, lots of storage. Just bought a twin 95 cummins 3500 flatbed dump, manual trans. it'll pull the 20ft enclosed trailer and that auto truck will pull my upcoming...

    One ton opinions

    My new $7,500 baby: 98 Dodge Ram 3500 5.9 cummins 12v diesel, dually flatbed dump, 4x4. 148,000 miles, new trans with 10k on it. Only thing that sucks is its an auto. I went back and forth between diesel van pulling a dump trailer, service bed truck with the mini in the bed, and what i really...

    How much does the average 60ft boom assembly/ turret weigh?

    We had a rotary growing up. I just turned 30 this year. Not lifting one, wondering what to expect out of a truck weight-wise. Thanks for the info!

    How much does the average 60ft boom assembly/ turret weigh?

    I'm so used to the internet I forget you can call and talk to real people! I'll do that tomorrow.

    How much does the average 60ft boom assembly/ turret weigh?

    Been trying to search spec sheets etc and can't find any real numbers on boom, bucket, "turret" weight. Specifically a terex hi-ranger 55ft Thanks for any info!

    Used bucket truck worth the investment?

    Using those calculations I couldn't stuff it past 6-7,000lbs of chips My truck weighed 14,000lbs with just the cab and dump bed. How much does a terex hi-ranger boom system weigh? if its less than 5,000lbs I would think I could stay under 26,000 fully loaded with chips and a small Bc935 chipper

    Going to cut the roof back 3-4ft on the red chip truck for easier log loading with the mini. It does a pretty good job as is.

    Used bucket truck worth the investment?

    I was looking at this 2001 international 4700 with Terex hi-ranger bucket. 100k miles on a 444E 7.3 diesel. It would match my 4700 with mini platform. Figure I'll get a dump trailer for that and pull my chipper behind a bucket truck with a chip bed. Will I definitely be overloaded with chips...

    $500 BC935 chipper I picked up today..

    Thanks, yeah these were the dullest I've ever seen. Ordered new ones because my sharpener guy said it looked like somebody tried to sharpen the back sides. Man we gotta get up! I live and mostly work in Madison AL

    $500 BC935 chipper I picked up today..

    What we've found so far: Motor fires right up and runs strong. Had new oil and filters. Reverse bar was bent, preventing it from engaging reverse. We bent it back, it reverses fine. Knives were completely dull. Looked like they'd been sharpened on the back side. My mechanic and blade sharpening...
