I am a old fire department tower ladder guy love sketchy stuff like that, rode the 265' Bronto in the early 2000s now Bronto has a 367' out. love it man.
Cool little rig. Ran all types as a commercial glazier, from the tow behind models all the way to 140' JLG lifts, definitely sketchy but tons of fun. I rent them occasionally for tree jobs now, but that style looks better suited for offroad use, definitely going to find one to rent, good luck with it. Look forward to videos of it..
Nice addition ta yall equipment. I know I'd sure nuff like one. At least it'll save V Belts legs climbin. Yall deserve er,from what I've seen so far,yall work yer butts off
A place i worked at back in the 90's had rough terrain 4wd , 4 wheel steering with huge outriggers scissor lift that went up 6 storeys propane powered always 2 tanks full at the start of the day , it was rated for 4 workers and tools, if memory serves me right 8/900 lbs, so 2 men and equipment or 2 trips up , it was amazing how stable it was up there sometimes working on the sides of buildings or going up to roof top never been up 72 ft high in a lift, a ladder yes, if you ever drove that scissor lift on soft ground or muddy area and got stuck, oh man, call the recovery truck or lots of times there were loaders on the job sites and they could pull it out, looking forward to seeing this in future videos 👍
You saw my Genie 60/34 Z Boom at the ranch and I can tell you first hand that 60 ft in the bucket is a thrill/unnerving 😳. They are a game changer but you have to have the testicular fortitude to learn how to run it, nothing natural about it. Thanks for sharing Sam👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Sam riding a spider. Sure should be a lot safer for VBelt. Tools no longer dangling to catch and pull you down is a huge advantage. Can load it by backing under it. And I see a huge bungee cord sometime in the future. The man lifts we used at test sites went up about 40 to 50 feet to work on Vertical Launch Tubes from Submarines we used for special missile launch tests.
That is a slick rig, I used a 65ft loft and she would sway real bad! I rather be on the picks. But I can see the advantages. Keep on with the vids Sam. I always enjoy them. Congratulations Vbelt stay safe!
I used to have a 75 foot track lift almost exactly like that, but it flipped over when we were moving it from one tree to another. Track found a soft spot in the dirt and flipped. The motor ran away, broke the bucket, and bent the booms. Completely totaled! Biggest thing I’ve learned from running one of these machines is they aren’t as “off road” as you would think. Hope all is good and stay safe out there👍🏻
I use several JLG mobile lifts at work the scariest are the 160' and the 210' lifts. You can sneeze in them and it will sway several feet in all directions in no wind, much less on a windy day. Really takes some time to build your nerve to feel comfortable in them. Anything below the 160' is really comfortable to me but above that the pucker factor gets tighter the higher you go.
Congratulations! Happy for you . Nice addition to your array of quality equipment for your company. Remember if you do something stupid they will put a monument up for you . Lightning, power lines & dead tree Limbs can get you . Look froward to the up coming videos.
Just watch around the power lines you will get residual voltage that will jump and get you. I had a geni loft to repair tower light along the highway. It was a 300 foot reach.
You should probably get the old man a safety harness. I used to use the 4x4 lifts like that on commercial jobs building buildings we weren't allowed to use them unless we were wearing a harness. They could get a little jerky sometimes.
Advice on the lift, get out your threadlocker and do up All of the C Pivot retainers especially on the legs. Do not expand or retract the undercarriage unless up in the air, could blow an o-ring. keep covered in rain and try not to work it in the rain.
Yep used one similar a few times last job was pruning a big pine hedge I towed it to site with a Toyota Kruger ☺️ she loved it 😝 they are something you have to get use to, get your sea legs I say 😉
Beam me up Scotty! That'll be a heck of a lot easier on hoss than a set of gaffs that's for damn sure and he can take all the mess up with him even his nose bag! Actually the more I think about it, that's one hell of a shade finding nap platform..........🤔 lmao
Heck I have a tree that really needs to come down but it has to be brought down in sections so that it doesn't fall on the back of my house. PGE has been cutting it away from the power lines that it's leaning towards the house. Let me know if you want to make a video and how much to remove the tree...👍 Also PGE said they wouldn't cut it down for me. So I filed and revoke their easement path down my property line
Rig up some launch tubes around the basket, set off fireworks from all the way up. Sketch Factor: mebbe 6. It'll be fine! Get a 360 degree vr camera and take it up all the way!
Fuck that, I've had to use a gradall lift and it is sketchy AF, at full extention the rear wheels come off the ground, it has the hydraulic supports too and it still doesn't help, it's on perfectly level ground too😂
I'm a retired construction worker and I've been in a bazillion different lifts. I hate them all. lol You could rig a chain saw on the basket with a camera and cut stuff remotely from the ground. I'm not afraid to go high in a lift but I refuse to go to their limits. If I need to go 72 feet, then I need a 100 foot lift ;) United Rentals tried to sell us a 270 foot lift. I told them I wouldn't even work for a company that needed such a thing. It could reach out 120 feet with the main boom level with the ground and then go up 150 feet. Hard pass.
Hey were are you guys located i own a small tree company you can say a baby rig but if you guys see this hit me back up i it be nice to get some work with you guy's
@@VBELTandSON Apologies, I meant speed of platform moving around compared to a standard towable, do you think it’s faster? I’ve been looking for a month about ready to buy just looking to see if you all like and recommend it. Appreciate your input Sir
Now that's one heck of a deer stand lol 🤣
Until you get a ticket for hunting from a motor vehicle
I am a old fire department tower ladder guy love sketchy stuff like that, rode the 265' Bronto in the early 2000s now Bronto has a 367' out. love it man.
Used a 90’ version of that lift in a building to install lighting - they’re crazy machines! Pretty cool to go up in

Congrats v-belt you deserve it brother always wear 4point harness, you'll b fine. 31 year utility guy still kicking 👍🏻🇺🇸
Late birthday present. Always good to have proper tools and equipment.

Been on plenty of scissor lifts, but never 72 ft. 🙀. That one is fancy. 👍🏻 Stay away from those power lines bro. Holy smoke 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀

Wow! I would love to have one of these! 72 feet, whoofta! I had a 60 foot and I hated it up there!
That’s awesome sure beats climbing and possible falling. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there

I've been in JLG 120 for a week. It's a lot of reach! I never did get comfortable being that far out
I’ve used scissor lift and swing lifts but never used a track lift or been that high up. I can’t wait to see it in action.

“Congratulations Hoss you don’t have to climb a tree anymore now you can ride this sketchy stick” lol
Global is awesome!!! Sweet addition to the stable.

That’s an expensive drone replacement!!! LOL!!!
Sam I've been in the tree care industry I've been in a seventy foot bucket truck and that backyard lift is a lot more stable then a bucket truck
I’d love to see some videos of that in action to see how quick the boom responds looking to get the sa,e machine for our painting business
My first truck for trimming trees was a GTE ladder truck, was very sketchy and only went out about 30 feet
The END!! Lol great job guys!
Looking forward to more videos have been using a 35’ workforce lift i need a higher reaching lift to do the work i do thanks for the vids

Nice piece of equipment to have 👍
Thanks for sharing cool 👍

Super awesome!
I work off those things pretty often pucker factor gets pretty high sometimes
Your leg will fill it from balancing go a little at a time a first if you can they will move when working
I an 60,80, 120 foot manlifts
I think it gonna to help you out about cutting tree back away from houses
I would love to have one for my tree business but 100 k for a new one no way i could swing the payments on that one
AWESOME !
Be safe
Be careful with those and trees my boss rented one and a limb fell and broke a hydro line and also bent a cilinder
Where's your fall protection?? Kids!!
Wrapped around my foot duh!!
@@VBELTandSON Well that's better than your neck! LoL
I could see where that could be handier that a pocket on a shirt for a manlift.
Pretty cool!
I ran the 105’ version in nc
Ok bring that thing over tomorrow morning so I don’t have to climb this pine tree. Thanks
How much do you pay?nice machine
Taking you Business to new Heights in productivity & efficiency !

Very nice. Hell ya.
Hey were are you guys located i own a small tree company you can say a baby rig but if you guys see this hit me back up i it be nice to get some work with you guy's
what glasses do you have?
You're going to want to get mats for the outrigger's. So they don't sink in on soft ground. God people
How fast does it get around in a tree? Increase productivity? Do you recommend it?
Compared to a climber? A climber doesn’t even come close to comparing in speed or productivity
@@VBELTandSON Apologies, I meant speed of platform moving around compared to a standard towable, do you think it’s faster? I’ve been looking for a month about ready to buy just looking to see if you all like and recommend it.
Appreciate your input Sir
Hell yeah can't wait to see it in action
