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.

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.

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.
 
I am having some problems with the "one source" control unit that controls remote start and fast idle. If anyone knows someone who can help troubleshoot

somebody could make a pretty penny if they made this place less of a safe space and made it a bit edgier. You know, let people do what they want, remove some ads, quit selling our email address to dudes selling foot pics on the dark web……this place would be lit. It would be awesome if that somebody was involved with off roading so they would be able to arrange get togethers where dudes could sit around a camp fire eating funnel cakes. That would be a cool place. This is like Target, kind of queer and dainty but good stuff scattered throughout. Bring back mean threads!!
