@96coal449 Also I do not want to be fully spent literally every evening. I want to be happy and enthused to run around and do quotes after we are done working and not dreading it. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm assuming you know way more than me. So if my mindset is not in the right place let me know. Ive...
@96coal449 Probably a discussion for another category but yeah I have never worked with a bigger chipper so I currently don't see the need. I'm looking at it as a bucket will allow me to do my current work faster and allow me to do other trees which I would not feel safe climbing

@96coal449 Thanks so much for the reply. Even at the $50k range it's not going to be perfect I understand. I could probably technically "afford" new ($150k?) but from the research I've done $50k price point will be well worth my while. So $50k isn't necessarily my budget but more so my guess for...
Hello everyone
I have a question about bucket trucks. I have read on several forums that when people bought a truck for around $30k they regretted because it was endless problems. I feel the only difference between a $30k and a $50k bucket truck is one was spray painted by a dealer. So my...
