Texoma Pressure Diggers for Sale

buckettrucksinfo — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 19:47:58 +0000

Texoma pressure diggers are among the best you can buy. They are extremely reliable, cost-effective, and parts are easy to find. The only bad thing about them is, everyone wants one. If you’re in the market for purchasing a new or used Texoma pressure digger, there are a few places to look where you can find them.

First, I recommend Bucket Trucks Online. They sell the best reconditioned used utility trucks including pressure diggers. If you are looking for something that is reliable and you know will last, contact them. They are located at 1706 N Stemmons Freeway in Lewisville, TX so they are centrally located to shipping pressure diggers and utility trucks nationwide efficiently. They always have a good truck in stock so, you should give them a call first.

Next, I suggest checking local listings like OLX or Craigslist. You have to be extremely cautious when buying on these sites because there are no guarantees. Buying from an individual is very risky and it is recommended you get it inspected before you even consider buying it. I don’t recommend operating it until it is inspected by a professional that is very familiar with pressure diggers.

You least best and last option will be auctions. Pressure diggers that are sent to auctions are there for 1 of 2 reasons. If a company is selling it’s fleet or if the owner can’t sell it anywhere else. Unfortunately, only dealers can get you into an auction… you can contact Southwest Equipment to see if they’ll go auction hunting for you. Auctions have no guarantee or warranty. Auctions are actually riskier than buying from an individual because you can’t test them out as thoroughly. You can’t drive a truck from an auction. Buying pressure diggers from an auction is a very touchy and should be left to professionals.

Good luck on your quest to buy a good quality new or used texoma pressure digger. You are already smart enough to buy a great brand, you should be smart enough to figure out where the best place to by them is. Feel free to send us a pic or tell us about how you bought your Texoma Pressure Digger.

Need Help Using the Winch on Your Bucket Truck?

buckettrucksinfo — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 18:55:35 +0000

Jesse Ritz, a bucket truck user, was looking for a manual to help him use his winch on his bucket truck. He couldn’t find anything on the internet that would actually help him with each part of the process. He decided he would compile all of the bits of helpful information and produce a manual that would help others like him, use a winch on a bucket truck.

He subsequently produced a manual for winches on bucket trucks and in the process, created not only the first on of it’s kind but, the only free manual you can use.

Jesse released his manual exclusively through The Bucket Truck Blogger. You can find his Bucket Truck Winch Manual there. It is encouraged that you share this manual with employees, workers, friends, and anyone you know that uses a bucket truck on a regular basis.

We want to say thanks to Jesse Ritz for such a great contribution to the bucket truck community.
