[OKDXA] Bucket Trucks vs. Basket Crane

[Kimberly Elmore]

It looks like I will need to get up to my KT-34A and check things out. It's up about 60 ft and getting it down is a major pain in the output network. I'm hoping it's simply loose hardware that I'll find upon inspection and that I'll be able to fix it in place

In the past, I've used a crane with a man basket to do this, but since the last time, I've gotten a dog and put up a fence and the crane may not be able to park where it used to. The crane is heavy and operator is reluctant to park it on the drive way. Plus, it costs about $200 an hour, plus transit time. It would help if I could come in more from the side, rather than at a simple angle, and some of the articulated bucket trucks I've seen would probably do fine. 

Do any of you have any recommendations along these lines?
