lenny the 2/3 idea is great for one machine but i dosent work when you have a full kit ,not all the kit can be used for 2/3 of the time a three man gang cant be using stumpgrinders ,lifts,grab truck,4x4,tipping trailers all the basic kit require by a proffessional arb firm,i have kit that can sit around for a month then go out for 2 months solid ,its all a ballancing act,i will be getting a lift of some type but only when ive finnished paying for something of comparable monthly payments ,buying a spyder doesnt end there as you know you need a trailer and truck too pull it,youll probably be saying surely youve already got a truck yes i have but ill need that for the chipper,so many swings and roundabouts

You might also think of the genie towables ...United rental has a few that are in a rent return mode. Last year there were a few that went up for sale and for a lot less than new. You can also look on ebay under lifts and booms and get an idea of going price. good luck dave 1

towable boom lift Stabalizer arms

I rented one the other day, fantastic!
But each of the stabilizer arms had to be adjusted with a crank like a trailer jack.
Every time the thing became unbalanced I had to lower the bucket get out and crank one of the arms.
Only buy the ones with a central hydrolic automatic adjusting function

The lift you rented must be an old machine or it is a small machine.
The larger machines all have hydraulic stabilizers. I don't see how
you could stabilize a spider lift with hand jacks. Spider lifts go up anywhere from 80 feet to nearly 200 feet in height.:)
 
towable lift I found it.... preach it

This may not be what you are looking for but give it a lookandsee . Go to truck paper . com when you are on the home page click on Construction Vocational bucket . Then go down just a little and it will ask to search by price type $ 500 to $5000 if all goes well there is a truck with just a bed for sale you way just really like It is forsale by Wilcox truck sales . Freight may kill the sale thats for you to figure. Good luck dave1
 
Dave1, Thanks for the info. I found it, and it looks good and the price is cheap but I don't know of a local truck that it could be mounted on. It sure is tempting to look into though.
 
Thanks Dave. They have a lot of stuff. I ordered a loader for my trailer from Bailey's. It should be here in a week. I also am going to buy a 1 ton dually truck.('78 chevy). The loader will lift large pieces of trees onto the trailer. A lot easier labor for me and a lot faster. The bucket may go on hold for a little while until I save up more money to pay for it.
