    What do you do if the customer don't allow the crane on there driveway?

    Big cranes crack driveways. I you havent cracked a driveway your crane is too small or you haven't done enough crane work. This thread would be awesome if it actually discussed the preventative measures experienced crane operators learned the hard way. I would contribute something useful but...

    Wanted Bandit 1590xp or 1890xp

    He is buying trade ins from a local dealer and marking them up. Most are not auction bought and have original paint on them except for the green ones. They are good machines just overpriced. I can't get myself to buy a new gas chipper and I'm hesitant on going the DEF route.

    Attention Effer Owners

    It's a knuckleboom crane and parts are REALLY expensive and always have been. Word of advice. Effer doesn't make the valves neither does Palfinger. You will pay markup from both. Go to the maker of the valve not the maker of the crane. This rule applies for all tree equipment.

    Chip Box - how tall is too tall?

    Getting under low trees will be an issue on some jobs. But it's an issue for our other trucks too. We have bucket trucks at 13'1" and a crane at 12' 11". We sometimes have to trim our way in or let the mini fwd to the street. I'm more concerned with swaying going around turns by not making it...
