I only move the knee to set tool length most of the time


I may soon need a motorized knee to get in and out of trucks

Bet my knees are in worse shape right now. I'm not letting my very
young picking crew use the ten foot ladder, only the seven. So, I'm
doing all the tall old monster trees. This old fart has a hell of time
with a thirty pound picking bag (when full of fruit) reaching for that
last apple fourteen feet off the ground. In general keep up with
teenagers is kicking my ass.

10' ladder? Yuck! Get a cheap used bucket truck from a cable company and
start living large...

There's a ratty old '78 chebby ladder bucket down the street with a
$10k price tag on it. It has been there for going on two months now.
If it weren't a chebby and were $3k, it might be worth it.
