Bucket truck brands

[monkeylove]

So I was looking at a small bucket truck with an ETI 37 lift. Who can tell me about the brand? Yes I know the working height of 42ft is considered to short for real tree work. I don't do real tree work, I work with fellow Buzzers when there is real work that needs to be done.

For the amount of work you do your much better off renting a better lift. Don't waste your money. If you want to spend some money buy a nice chipper.

You do real tree work! I saw you in a tree that time. lol. Don't cut yourself short just cause you may do it part time, remember how that goes!

Agreed a nice chipper and truck. You can rent a platform height of 55' for around $300 a day. Unless you use it every week it's not worth the expense of ownership.

I was looking at them also but if I went that route it would probably be a bed dump body in my pickup truck. The thought behind the bucket was versatility for other tasks. Obviously I have no idea where I'm going with this so I appreciate the feedbacks.

Your on the right track wanting versatility just slightly off course. Versatility would be a dump insert in your truck! Your pickup still stays a pickup and does everything it did before, doesn't take up any additional room to park, and is easy to remove and re-sell if you find its not for you. With some sides and a removable mesh top it will double as lil chip truck, firewood mover, ect and still take the family and boat to the lake.
