    2892s manitex pump

    We bought a 2892 manitex on a fl80 chassis with an rtf8908ll. It was missing the pump and pto. Does anyone have one they can take some picks of the data plates or a part number source? The manitex dealer has been no help whatsoever.

    Tms875c

    Im still thinking about getting a 70 to 75 ton crane at some point for our tree service. We have rented an htc8670 link belt a ton. Its a nice crane but the boom is just a bit short for us at 115 ft. Sometimes we deal with large oaks or poplars that are over 100 ft tall. By the time we boom down...

    Rt75s

    Any good or bad experiences with these? The guys I bought my first tms300 have one they want to sell. They keep up their equipment pretty well and are up front honest folks. We do residential and commercial tree work only at the moment. There have been multiple times the tms carrier was to long...

    TMS300 slow hydraulics

    I bought another TMS 300 recently. The previous owner had knocked off the drain plug on the hydraulic manifold at the pumps. We welded the drain plug back on and filled it with hydraulic fluid. We opened the 4 bleeders that are on the 4 pipes as they cross over the top of the transmission. We...

    Pin on man baskets

    We do mainly tree work with our tms300. There are times when we basically need to use it as a large bucket truck. I'm looking for a basket that we could pin on instead of the jib. We've used hanging baskets in the past and they absolutely suck for what we do. Any good places to look or companies...
