Grove AT635e here, pretty stout little crane that has unbelievable maneuverability , we really get in some tight spots with it. Only problem I have found with crane ownership is you become totally dependent on them. If ours breaks down we are dead in the water. Considering buying a backup crane
Dave, your buddy with the new 3060, just wondering what he's like, a tree guy who spends approx 800k on a brand new unit. Crazy hardworking? Methodical? Risk taker? More business man than tree man? Just wondering. My envy wants to know.
Rent out a 38 ton altec a few days a month now. Operator was a climber before he ran boom. Good guy and smooth with it. Used him today and have him for the rest of the week. I’ll put up some pics in the work pic thread
Kinda. He still says we aren’t buying one. I won’t disagree. Crane op is making money, we’re making good money. I’m not as grumpy as I once was so all is good
Four of the crane ops at Bob’s are former climbers. It’s quite intuitive working with them. We each just know what the other will expect to do. Simply confirm and go. The one who split the spar on me wasn’t a climber and soends time on his cell phone. Have to ‘converse’ constantly to keep his eyes on task ;(
