Well, what I did when we moved back to the home place was to find and
buy an inexpensive 40-ft boom lift(1) from eBay. Cost $5K+$600
trucking from Chicago area to far SW KS. Best $5K ever invested w/
the intent of being short-term--had it 10 years now and use it around
the place a lot from trimming trees to then roof repair/painting house
(2-story old square farm house) to the TV antenna that was taken down
by wind/hail to...

Can I borrow it? Damn I'd like to have one of those around here! I
have a habit of doing oil changes on equipment I borrow as a little way
of saying "thanks".

Where you located??? It doesn't road well top speed being less than a
walking pace....

So far I've not done that for the potential liability issue. I do/have
used it for many other purposes at church, County historical museum
where board member, etc., etc., but I've always operated it myself
rather than let it go to somebody else. I've never even asked what Mr
Farm Bureau insurance man would say...
