    Dr. Cornwallis's Work Thread And Stuff

    Is 4x4 a must? I don't need it, just is nice to have in the snowy winters up here. Yes, used trucks bring big money, but vans don't! That's the biggest benefit from a van is they are cheap! 4K or less buys you a clean presentable rig if you are not afraid of a few miles. And why a manual...

    Dr. Cornwallis's Work Thread And Stuff

    Yeah I have a windowless one ton diesel van and love it. I leave it packed with all my climbing, rigging, and saws. It's a mobile gear and toolbox and usually pulls the dump trailer and mini. I have a t-case and front axle I'm hoping I'll have time this winter to throw in and make 4x4...

    Nine guys seems like way to many. Sounds like he needs a mini!

    Want a cheap used vehicle for trailer towing? Look at one ton vans. They have the same drivetrain and similar suspensions to 3/4 ton trucks for a fraction of the cost. Plus all your gear can stay locked inside and you don't need to load and unload before and after every job like a pickup.

    Grain truck set up

    6'x2'x2' It's harder to find the 24" deep boxes reasonably priced but they are a world better than the 18" boxes. Even if they cost ya twice as much.

    Grain truck set up

    Thanks, I cobbled it together. Still trying to find some time to make it nice but it's definitely presentable enough for now.

    Grain truck set up

    It's semi permanent. They drop down inside the stake pockets and I just tacked them in place. I can have it off if I needed to.

    Rigging Gear

    As the list of buying all the extras keep growing did you remember road and pedestrian signage, or at least a bunch of cones as a minimum?

    Bucket truck purchase

    It does vary sometimes from state to state so be carefull but the majority are the same. Yes regular Joe can drive an air brake vehicle if its under 26K. If its a vehicle that requires a cdl then you must have the airbrake endorsement. I've done lots of reading and research on the subject...

    Crusty the Rusty Bucket Lift Truck (picture heavy post)

    Nope, its an idi not a powerstoke. Idi's aren't worth squat.

    Bucket truck purchase

    You will do a ton of work with the 55, but you'll do 3 to 4 times that with the other truck.

    Bucket truck purchase

    Correct. I was saying "Air brakes = CDL" is not true

    Bucket truck purchase

    Side reach is the game changer of having a over center boom vs a non over center.

    Bucket truck purchase

    False! Over 26K means CDL. If you are in a cdl truck with air brakes you must have an air brake endorsement. If under 26K GVWR as marked on the truck no cdl is needed regardless of which kind of brakes it has.

    Hook Lift Trucks

    I had a roll off trailer similar to this in mind. You'd still be able to bring most tracked lifts to the job site in one of these too. Pull this with pickup or class 5 truck and keep an under cdl truck and chipper for your help to drive. I've been leaning towards something like this for my...
