I am considering the purchase of a nicely maintained unit. While I have some experience with Pitman Digger Derricks, Snorkel lifts, and a few others, I know only what I read about Grove. I'm not an operator but was a products litigation investigator with a law firm representing various manufacturers. I read disparaging remarks about the articulated MZ66's design and I was wondering if the same concerns apply to the 4X4 straight boom.
I live in the mountains near Santa Cruz, CA and plan to use the unit around my ranch, trimming/topping trees and such. None of my roads are greater than 20% grade so I believe this 4x4 unit should handle them okay - tell me if I'm wrong. I believe I'll have to position the unit on not greater than 5 degrees out of level to operate, correct?
I have only been able to find specs for the 2x4 model and have had no luck finding an operator's manual to research, any help there would be appreciated.
