The 101's do have a 360 chart, without a front stab, as long as the front tires are in contact with the ground. Get enough time on one however, and we found that that rule can be fudged a bit. The picture I posted of my old unit with the tires 3' in the air...... I'm sure he was working off the rear that day. As much as I like my 30 ton National, if I was doing nothing but setting trusses on residential construction, the 101 is still hard to beat. Especially as properly set up on the right truck, it will go places others won't, best "off road" boom truck around, better then my 17 ton Terex's, plus i got to sit down! Crappy layout though from a maintenance standpoint, the National is much better thought out in that respect.
Solar pays, I've been doing it for decades, think of it of paying your power bill in advance. That setup I have could be duplicated for as little as 3K. 50 cents a watt for the panels, if you buy them right. So that's $1,000.00 (2000 watt array), the inverter is about $1500, disconnect and other misc. make up the rest. Install it yourself and you have free power for decades. I have panels that are over 30 years old! Here's the thing, the vast majority of people are so far behind the financial 8 ball, it's all they can do to come up with the monthly electrical bill, so they say "it doesn't pat." Bull...., the ones that suck it up and go solar are 100% happy they have done so, all my customers love their systems. But do it yourself, don't pay someone else, it's not rocket science. I tell a guy in his 30's or 40's "this system will be putting out power when you're my age!" It's hard to over emphasize the simplicity and longevity of these systems. You can pay the power company, or take a tax credit and pay yourself, they are a rock solid though long term investment, but once you have one you would never go back to NOT having one.
