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....

I was just joking, I'm in eastern Tennessee. My son in law bought one
for their electrical business, mostly for changing lamps in parking
lots. Changing lamps isn't paying for it but the extra work it
generates does. I keep telling him to bring it down next visit, it's
only 600+ miles.

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...

He would tell you to make friends with that Gecko.
