Bucket truck price

Definitely get the hydraulic jack.Biggest motor possible.Chute clean out hatches,strobe,wheel chock holders and spare tire mount and also the fire extinguisher mount.Some are things you say you can add yourself later but never will.I went with the 213hp diesel on my 1590 instead of the 173hp it only burned .7 gallon more fuel per hour worth it when your chipping big wood.Hydraulic jack is a time and back saver after having one on my chipper I got hydraulic jack and ramp on my new dump trailer.Good luck with the purchase

Pretty sweet Mert! I'm impressed for a gas jobber. It regained rpm quickly and kept munching!

Thanks. I've been pretty happy so far. The engine recovery was one of the things I liked most. The governor tries to keep the rpm up when chipping and actually gives just a little more throttle to create more power. I didn't notice it standing at the back of the chipper until Brendon V pointed it out in a video I sent him.

I bought a 1984 hi-ranger 48" platform height, its so awesome. DT466. $12,000. Normally when I buy something I think is going to be awesome it comes up way short of what I was expecting but this is everything and more. Not only does it make the day easier but much much faster.

Another note my chipper went down and I rented a Vermeer BC1000... That thing is a freaking BEAST. Like y'all said I didn't know what I was missing out on. I bought a 2008 Bandit 250xp 130hp CAT which is fine.

Enjoy your truck. Congrats.

I'm not sure...

That looks like a cable-operated boom.

No hydraulic check valves.

Get it inspected.

A guy had a cable break on an old truck a few years back. Ended badly.

I got it inspected by terex. They didn't say anything about cables just some wires in the cab are loose and some of the hydraulics leak. They said it is fine to use but I need to get those things fixed for it to pass inspection. For the time being just top off the fluid. Idk anything about bucket trucks!
