New Bucket Purchase. Should I do it?

[David Benton]

I am looking at a Altec AT37G on a 2011 Freightliner M2 106 truck w/ Cummins ISB-250 engine. The truck is a 4x4, has a winch, utility industry work bins, has 180K miles, 6500 engine hours and cosmetically appears to be in excellent shape. They want $49K for the truck. Would you do it?

Buy a tracked lift.

Yes, but to achieve the reach of a bucket will cost more the 49k. However, you will find far more uses for it than the bucket. Backyard access of a lift is extremely efficient for removals.

A 37 ft reach bucket truck is way to short. Find something in the 60 plus foot range.
