You write better than i can even think to.
Myself, it happens so often id rather spend my time taking a nap or playing in my yard.
Curious how both parties respond.
Buying good used stuff is the best choice buying used. Ive lost one brake line on usedequipment for the business in the last 7-8 yrs.
My new stuff seems to be more hassle than the used stuff, to be honest. Wiring issues, shoddy welds, hydro leaks, CEL lights, etc.
Choose used eauipment...
Ive seen that truck up close. Not bad but heavy and only 55 i think.
Dont rush keep looking imo. I waited a year for mine. One owner, one operator. The wait has paid off in no break downs and pristine condition. Winters around the corner and 2wd or 4wd buckets don't jump snow piles.
In the passanger seat!
Typically a trip back is nessesary to haul the log trailer and grab logs, so it would go in the bed there again for the ride home. Occasionally a trip back is nessessary. Beats another truck and usually allows you to collect the check. Chips dump local so we are talking...
Maybe get better operators? Ive never had a complaint, or have had to fix lawn damage in seven years operating a mini skid. Trailers are not nessesary, in seven years my two minis have been on a trailer a total of a less than a dozen times. Fuel...diesel burns about $2 an hour at full throttle...
Will a bucket truck make you more money? Why do you need one? Buying its easy. Registration, needing a cdl, drug test program, truck inspections, tires. I dont regret mine, but ive prob used it only 12 times this year. 50k would look better in my bank than in the backyard!
