I'll sell it.

That's the most logical plan. I was just thinking you might have had something fun and exciting in the works for it. Because I couldn't think of anything fun and exciting, lol.

Sweet score. My wife suggested I look into one for various projects around the house and property.

Anything wrong with it?

Everything seems to be working so far. It has been sitting for a couple years so I changed all the fluids today including the generator. So far the only issue is the left caliper is sticking.

Awesome!
You could literally pay that thing off renting it to folks around us (with a signed waiver and healthy security deposit of course, lol).
Last wind storm got ya doing some defensive tree "trimming?"

My neighbor is a lineman for Comcast and drives his bucket truck home. But he won't use it for any side jobs, including his own.

Yes, because he is not allowed to use it for personal use. Grounds for termination of employment.

Not really, my neighbor and I both have a few trees that need topped, not enough space drop it whole. We both got quotes for more than we paid for the truck and we can get that money back when were done with it.
