So I have an opportunity to pick up a f super duty with 40 foot boom. The truck is in good shape with a fiberglass body, 7.3 diesel, rebuilt auto trans, air compressor and a Honda generator. It is owned by a sign company so the boom has been inspected regularly. Overall, its a nice truck. I just have a few questions and I am having no luck with my searches. This will be my first bucket truck, to this point i have used a 40 foot tow behind unit. Has anyone used one of these for tree work? What are some pros and cons? Anything I should be looking at specifically? It has 100,000 miles and the price is $7000.

you said it yourself < ITS A SIGN TRUCK. it will not work for tree work. i just sold a 97 gmc 60 foot forestry truck for 8000, why not pick up a truck designed for tree work rather then a sign truck designed for, uhhhhhh sign work
