Does any one know of a succesfull tree company that uses a boom lift like a JLG or a Genie in their everyday operations? We have rented them in the past and they work great on big jobs.The only drawback is you have to tow it out to the job site on a trailer. But once you get it there you can do circles around your basic bucket truck. Driven from the bucket with no outriggers the mobility far out weighs the hassle of towing it to the job. As my body grows older,Iam forced to realize that I cant climb like I used to. However my love for this work will never stop and I most likely add this machine to the next major purchase list. Tired of working harder and want to work smarter. Look forward to y"alls comments.(That y'all was thrown in so you can try picture a southern accent) MERRY CHRISTMAS
