| Will post pics later once download, otherwise rented a Local Lumber Yard Man Lift Trailer style, safety lock out switches on everything. Enough for what did here, managed to raise canopy grown in with some spots under 10' to over 14'; the length of drive and pushed back the searching for sunlight growth beyond the mowed lines. Forgot to count, but either eight, maybe nine repositions, required a Unpin/Repin at each reset. Most stuff under 4" diameter just lots of it. Took out a couple Elms and other garbage variety smallish trees. Started at 8, finish at 2:30. Yard has a Sunday Drop Off point so only Two Day rented. |

i have never used one... brother in law rented one every 3-4 times with 40 ft boom to trim trees around the yard......... looked more like a forest... Kept the branches off the house , driveway, sunlight for yard.. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| All can say is better than ladder for function. Very problematic machine and sensitive to over sensitive safety switch triggers. Next round likely to try for a self propelled Man Lift as the JLG Line of machines where used those at the Nuke. |
