I know there was a post on trucks the other day!!

So my question is what type

I prefer international 4x4 auto with an altec 55' 2 man material handler also with a lift bucket we just got a freightliner with the lift bucket and it's awesome I just don't care for freightliner but it's a decent truck

What truck? 4x4, tire boss, how do u like all your bins,etc.
What boom? Materical handler, side to side boom, etc.
What options? If u can pick/ kill switch up top and bottom, lights etc.

Why I ask is we have fords, internationals, freightliners

Our internationals are old and tough as dirt
Our fords we have are fairly new and seem to be ok trucks besides no headroom in the cab...
Our freightliners are just cheap built trucks to me

Altec I prefer they are just stought as booms, operator friendly
Hi ranger I also like these booms they just don't seem as strong, but operator friendly

Sorry for such a long thread!!!!!

Just thought it was a good topic since buckets are used alot more these days and time!!!!!

Thanks for the replys guys
