You sure that isn't a 60' working height truck??

hard times when Asplundh guys are selling off their company trucks...........
won't they miss it?

 

[danh8866]

It is a LRIV 55' working height.
And I am not an ashplund guy, I just have one of their trucks that I bought.

My bad... I didnt notice that it doesnt stick off the back.

Yep, its a little dog.

kinda figured that.

sucks to sell it, huh.......

 

[danh8866]

Yeah it sucks but have to pay the bills, work is at a standstill now. I have a couple other trucks anyway.

I hope you get good money for it I was watching it get bid up. I don't think i want to pay that much now but sheesh, its still such a good deal for a well running bucket truck. Glad to hear you have some other trucks -- good luck with business. I bet its going to break wide open for you real soon!

Hope you get a good price for it. looks like you kept it in good shape.

 

[danh8866]

I hope so to Thanks guys

So it runs good all the way around?? How are the tires, what % left approx?

 

[danh8866]

It runs very well. I have taken it on a couple of disaster relief trips 700 or more miles one way, with no problems. Engine runs well and it has a strong clutch. The only mechanical poblem is that the kubota pony motor needs a distributer but it ran well before I took it off. Tires are over 75%.

Sorry about that little jab dan.

I just didnt think the comercial tree care and climbing forum was typically used to sell ex asplundh bucket trucks is all.

Good luck with things.

Just got home and was curious to see how the ebay market treated you Congratulations on selling it! I hope all goes well and you really pick up some work. To tell the truth, I was really watching that truck given the way you described it and how it looked. I would have loved to have it today with all the snow damaged trees in front yards!

*quick derail* Mckee and other dfw guys -- I hope everybody's phone has been on constant ring... good luck and be safe!
