Need bucket truck advice

[Eddyj]

I'm looking to pick up a small bucket truck for my business. I've never owned one, anyone have any experience or knowledge when it comes to buying a used one?
I would prefer a pickup 3500-5500 size but could step up to a medium Kodiak or 4400 size.
I material handler would be cool but not necessary.

Only thing set in stone is it will not have a 6.0 powerstroke or 6.4

I'm my opinion only… especially if you are interested in having a jib, at least get a truck that has out riggers… I'd stay with an Altec boom. Again just my opinion

I own a number of them in my business so I need to ask what your planned use is before I would make a recommendation.

Traveling circus/fair/carney work I'd assume.

He travels the southeast and midwest entertaining children and is probably one of the 4 most fascinating people I have ever met. He would move to the top spot if he had a handlebar mustache and talked with a British accent, but he doesn't.
