2023 nifty lift sd64. Kubota diesel. 70ft working height. I bought the machine to use while I was having some work done on my elevator terex. Has worked very well, but we no longer need it. I added a custom outrigger pad holder which saddles on the frame of machine. It holds 4 dica pads. Nice feature that makes the job faster, easier and safer. Under 275 hrs. I’m downsizing so it needs to go. Located in Paso Robles , ca.
Asking $115,000 obo
2021 14k behnke trailer available too. $9,000 obo.

Machine still for sale. Great machine, but our rear mount elevators are able to get to most of our trees. So, haven’t been using it much. Price reduction to $108,000
 
The guy I work for now has one of these, and it is surprisingly versatile and maneuverable. It's a great machine.
 
This engine was 33hp, his will be ~25hp. Theoretically the same hill climbing ability, but the lesser hp will climb more slowly.

3.5 minutes in or so
 
I think treebuzz needs to make a section to talk about lifts in general. I see it all the time guys on here buy lifts for many reasons and end up finding out they don't use them much so they try to sell them. I think we need to have more discussion on the pros and cons of these lifts.
I used my first spider lift over the winter...92hd+ arbor thing and it's great once set up but I had no idea how long it takes to set it up in a thoughtfull spot and how to avoid lock outs even just through job site transit.
They are very complicated and sophisticated machines, relativley slow.
Great for stuff that not safe to climb.
Don't wanna scare anybody from buying this man's lift bc it looks awesome.
 
Almost absolutely nothing like a bucket truck. At the same time I first ran that spider I ran a rear mount 75 bucket with elevator and those are just so much better than I ever could have imagined.

What kinda hills does it handle?

Nothing crazy, but we have taken along a pile of half length railroad ties to make cribbing to manage some steeper stuff. we have a Jerry rigged override on a lockout to be able to use the equipment trailer. as the bucket must be up a bit to not scrape it up loading and unloading. It will climb a pretty steep hill to get to a useable position. It definitely has been taking me a little time to gain fluency in it's operation.
 
I rented one with skilled op for a tree unsafe to climb and no bucket or crane access, it got the job done but was amazingly slow in travel, set up, and operation. I was used to 75' rear mount elevator which is the bees knees imo.
 
Ive had this lift (SD64) for almost 5 years now and really like it. If anyone wants to ask any specific questions about it Ill do my best to answer. I don't think the slow setup time everyone references is valid, it sets up pretty quick and has exceeded all my expectations operation wise.

What does slow in travel mean? And setup? How fast should a boom move around in operation? I think the nifty moves plenty fast, maybe too fast when the engine is throttled up.
 
Ran a SD64 near daily for a year and change at a company I worked for. Great machines. Got that into some weird places. Towed it behind a f350 on a tilt deck deckover. They may be a bit larger than tracked spider lifts but it very rarely limited our operations. Mix of very congested, fenced urban and very open rural yards. Aloft they feel much more stable than spider lifts, IMO. Plus, the two man basket is great for carrying a rope bag (s), rigging gear, 2nd saw, and for training the new guy! Fair price, if I were in the market I'd be on it.
