OT TJ...
That is the machine I'm talking about. That jib really comes in handy. That machine looks good on paper nothing there showing how many hours though. If it is under 5000 hours, in good shape with an 8' basket and good tread it would be an excellent buy at that price. Hard to rent it for a day to try it out unless you are close to Syracuse. We went with diesel just because we feel it lowers the risk of an accident on the job site and it's easier to transport fuel.
I would rate the JLG right up there with the Genie if not better. JLG likes to use toggle switches on the control panel and Genie is more prone to joysticks. Once you are used to a specific set of controls others feel awkward for a while. Don't want to hit the wrong button 65'in the air next to a glass wall. LOL. We had a newer model JLG 80 footer over the last weekend (ours was rented out) and it performed well. It was easy to feather the controls and moved pretty smooth. Interesting that the guy we deal with out of the GR office is named bill also. Good hunting. LH.
