    Insulated tool double standards

    As someone who has seen other local guys we sub for killed by power lines I would like to hear more answers. Ignorance is not bliss, it's deadly.

    Crane question: owning, renting or both?

    Sounds like what you need is a better crane company. I am at the point that we are starting to look at purchasing a crane. We run 2 crews with a 2-3 month backlog of work at all times. I have invested heavily into being able to do lots of work with small a small amount of employees. A...

    Hi-RANGER 5fc-55 cable problems

    Booms need qualified repair technicians!! The money you save can’t be spent if you, or worse an employee, are dead.

    Gerasimek's Tree-mek

    Every market obviously has different rules, regulations and pricing as I can not insure a pickup truck for the price Carl paid for a crane. My market is also home to the insurance fraud capital of the us. Agriculture tags around here would only allow us to work on or travel between farms. DOT...

    Awesome prices. What a difference it makes from one place to another. Even from one zip code to another makes a big difference sometimes. My premium went down almost 300 per month when we moved yard about 20 blocks because we fell in another zip code.

    What happened to the Matt Cornell Rope Saddle?

    If they are the ones that had control of it I am sure that the margins are better then most. The reason to bring your own stuff to the table is margins.

    Epic VA Treemek Build

    Soooo sooo jealous Steve I don’t think my market is well suited for a machine like this. This might be the excuse I have been looking for to move somewhere more peaceful. Not sure if I have the balls to head to a market I don’t know and invest this kind of money. Selling all my trucks here...

    Request for advice on new bucket, Altec vs Versalift vs Terex. Gas vs Diesel

    One thing to keep in mind is where you will get dealer support for the chassis. Ford service for anything bigger than a f350 here is nonexistent. I wonder if they can build one on the new Isuzu frr chassis. That would be awesome for access.

    Request for advice on new bucket, Altec vs Versalift vs Terex. Gas vs Diesel

    Having a gas engine can be acceptable if you are not in hilly terrain or pulling something heavy. I would not dream of having a gas bucket without the pony motor. Our gas bucket burns several gallons per hours just idling on the pto for the bucket. The pony is probably just under one gallon...

    Vermeer undercarriage parts ?

    That’s what they make their money on. Bearing, pulleys and everything else that should be universal sized all have a special Vermeer size.

    Gas or Diesel HD pickup?

    They have been all worked out or they are tirred or fixing all the problems that won’t stop popping up. Down time kills.

    New Gas Chippers how are they?

    It’s hard to justify an extra 20k!
