Koa has one, Dave should be getting his any day now.


Leo 15GT and 23GT.

 

[DTW902]

It is on it's way. Might get my hands on it Thursday.

 

[sotc]

that 23gt looks awesome. some day if im lucky

 

[DTW902]

I will get the 23GT on Friday. They are flying in late Thursday or early Friday morning to do the transfer and certification.
It's been a long wait. I'm glad it is almost over.(the waiting part).

 

[lumberjack]

Dave, does your heart ache to see it? I know mine does

 

[sotc]

how long did it take from the time you told them to ship it till now?

 

[DTW902]

I ordered it April 24th Willie. So almost 8 months.
I don't think the wait is as long now, seems like
they told me that Teupen has added more staff.
So they can get production up.

 

[sotc]

wow thats a while. dont answer if you dont want. did you make a down payment or have you had to make a monthly since then? pm me if you like. i would like to get one some day just looking for info for future reference
thanks

 

[DTW902]

Willie I sent them a check for 20K when I ordered it.
The lift has to be paid in full before they will ship from
Germany. So have your financing set up to start when
the lift is ready to ship.
Ryan told me that they have reduced the down payment
to 15K because of the long wait. But the wait should not
be as long now.

My lift is in ST Louis Mo. Will be in Kansas City tomorrow
evening. Scott is flying in Friday morning. The wait is finally
about over.

Merry Christmas Dave. Are they going to gift wrap it for you?

 

[DTW902]

Merry Christmas Dave. Are they going to gift wrap it for you?

Thats ok Darin. That would just be one more thing to do before
putting it to work.
I will have the camera and get some pics of the new toy. Uuuuum
I mean new equiptment.

 

[sotc]

thanks dave, cant wait to se working pics!

 

[DTW902]

Well got to play a little. Will have to wait until after Christmas for
working pic's.

 

[brendonv]

WOW!!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Man, those things just look so delicate! :what:

I like those pads.

 

[Jonseredbred]

doe that have an upper boom isolator on it?

 

[DTW902]

The booms on the Spider are almost as big as the booms
on the bucket truck. Very little movement when fully extended.

 

[Jonseredbred]

how much for the skyworker?

 

[sotc]

awesome dave. does it telescope at all? does the boom move as fast as a bucket truck?

 

[DTW902]

awesome dave. does it telescope at all? does the boom move as fast as a bucket truck?

Yes Willie both booms telescope. It is not quit as fast as the bucket truck.
But will make up for it with positioning.

The silver part on the booms is what telescopes out. It is very smooth operating, no jerking around.

 

[Old Monkey]

That is so friggin' awesome! If I hadn't met you and found out what a nice guy you are I'd be hating you out of jealousy.

 

[DTW902]

how much for the skyworker?

You like those Skyworkers don't ya Jonseredbred...
I am going to keep it, it's been a good rig.

 

[DTW902]

That is so friggin' awesome! If I hadn't met you and found out what a nice guy you are I'd be hating you out of jealousy.

Thanks Darin
The lift fits in the truck you saw at your place. Now I have to see if I can
squeeze the bobcat and stump grinder in there.

Nice rig, Merry Christmas to you!
