    The cutting edge of tree removal

    I was just looking at the body of the truck and the year -- similar to the listing I posted, but that one said Michigan, not Akron, OH. But you're right, the boom looks more like the one you linked to, how it overhangs the truck. I have photos from Tuesday I'll post to the Work Pics thread.

But instead of just the machine doing the cutting, we have a...
