Sounds like we are looking for the same truck. You would think you would see some ALC trucks out there in CT.

im surprised i found an aloc here so easy, 4 days drive in a boom is not that big a deal, its better than a deuce and a half

 

[NeTree]

Being a former 88M, I can certainly vouch for that.

hey brendon, there is a place in sacremento...called truck site..where i just got my boom,
they have 4 rear mounts, high rangers, 57'wh, on ford chasis, i think 24k each

 

[thattreeguy]

funny eric........i knew someone here had to have been an 88 mike

during slow season id drive a rig across the country, i want to see my army bro in indianna , but aloc's are so much more flexible than a hi ranger

I've never use a rear mount to do any tree work .However back in the day I had hours logged on a rear mount Hi Ranger doing pole work .

To me they seemed more stable plus you gained some altitude by being right abutted to the pole or building whatever be the case .That few extra feet often made quite a difference .I'd just as soon work out of the bucket than stomp the 5 or so feet it took to reach the work .If the good Lord would have wanted me to have spurs I'd have been born a rooster .

And now you know why I hate driving so much, Dave.

 

[brendonv]

I found some trucks local, I'm just not sure how old is too old.

High Ranger, Skyworker, Versalift.

 

[NeTree]

It really depends on how well it's maintained, Bren. I've seen 20 year old lifts I'd trust no problem, and 3 year old lifts I wouldn't dare fly.

The Skyworker will have better articulation than the HiRanger.

Bren, have you thought about a material handler like the Skwerls? That always seemed like the bestest kind of rearmount to me.
I even considered buying his blue truck and importing it at one point (shipping cost killed it) it seemed so useful.

Friggen commie, what do you know?

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Friggin half baked commie hoser! eh!?

 

[Rborist1]

You and Erik are cut out of the same block, all talk, blah blah blah!

 

[Thor's Hammer]

duude, puhlease. This from a man wearing a giant pubic tache stain and a glorified phallic symbol?

@ U 2

+1 on the Sqwerl rig.
If I were to own a bucket it would have a material handler like his

 

[arborworks1]

I would spring for a small remote controlled crane before I spent the money on a material handling bucket truck.

C'mon guys, stop derailing Ed and Craig!

I'd see what was available near my purchase time
