I would be building another truck if we went that route. Looked into it previously. would replace one of our buckets with a palfinger/mecanil combo. Would keep the Effer picking large, cause that's what it does best
Thanks for the reply Rick. You are not too far from me. Perhaps one day I could swing by and watch you master the mecanil. Like I said I am still on the fence about it. I guess it's one of those things you have to see in person.

Still looking to bring in contract climbers(full time also avail). We are looking to add 3 climbers additional to our crews. Come in for the day, week or month. Message me for details.
Definitely need a rating system. Note to all: just because the climber may frequent the buzz and act like he knows his stuff doesn't mean jack until you get them in a tree. Where is the suck button?
