    I'm over 2000 hrs on my boom. After your 2nd year you will quickly realize how much fun these are.. Many guys have had to replace every hose after the 2 year mark!

    I had a 23' hose expold last year, luckily it was in the street! At first i was scared to tackle it. But i tied a rope to one end and pulled it through the boom down to valve body. At 6,000 psi it was not cheap. Having a shop do it, would have put me down for at least a week.

    It's incredible the amount of work these trucks do for us. When I first got it, I quickly realized at the end of every week I had more and more profit in my pocket. However keep in mind the maintenance or breakdown repairs are on a whole different level then it was with the typical tree...

    I agree with @southsoundtree , I never want to be the cheapest! Can I do it? have I done it? The answer is yes. But that's not what I want to be known for. I want to be known by the people that would rather pay a few hundred bucks extra for the same job and have it done with minimal impact and...

    Wow I didn't think unplugging it would help that much . I Probably get about a week out of the grapple saw battery, but to prevent what happened to me earlier I just swap them every 2 or 3 days. The batteries from the small 3-button remote for the Mecanil were replaced only twice since I've...

    I was always pretty sure the 220 was good over 4,000 pounds. I guess like was mentioned earlier the pullouts would be the bottle neck

    Also I completely surround my Outriggers with cones. One on each side of the Outrigger, you can never have enough of them. I can't tell you how many times even with the cones I almost get people hitting my Outriggers. It's my worst fear when I'm operating on the street.

    Awesome! It's hard to imagine the capacity of The 100 when I'm only 37 ton. How does that compare to like a 30 or 40 ton stick crane?

    Oh by the way you want to take a bungee cord and strap your grapple lines to the manual pull out. I've snagged em and squirted oil all over. Lol

    What if you make your cut with only half reach as in much closer to the truck will it be able to make a complete cut?
