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 would buy 3 or 4

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.

He paid you to say that didn't he?

Softest hands in the southeast. That's gotta be worth the randon compliment here and there. I know I have no complaints.

Exactly, can I propose this smiley to bring the life back to this place? Don't kw what it'd represent but we can figure that out later.

Dammit man

On track:
Bought a ram 5500 with a 36 boom and an 1800lb material handler. Literally has changed the way we do maintenance. Made life easier and safer.

Off track:
I miss the "nutswinger" emoji
Is anyone driving this train wreck?
I look like a terrorist with too much facial hair so no mustache.
