Hi Mike,
Not had much chance to get online recently hence my absence.
I agree with you about the bucket but scissor lifts have solid decks and you should see what gets returned to the workshop when a machine is offhired. Also, theres nothing worse than repairing a joystick on a boom on a construction site in scotland in the middle of winter. Drop one of the tiny nuts and bolts that hold it all together and you have a wee problem. The worst is having to replace one of the steering microswitchs in a force 9 gale with a gas soldering iron. Usually I pull it apart enough to bridge out the switch and move the machine to a more convenient place, in other words where i can manouvere the basket under the tailgate of my strategically placed van so I have all the luxuries of shelter, heat and a radio.
