they are very cool, but make sure all the hydrolics are in good working order before you go up.
my friend has a baywindow cherrypicker and he tends to kill the engine when somebody is up there (leaving them stranded for a while
the whole setup if flippin heavy though and it makes changing a rear tire almost impossible.
the first time i've seen a picture of somebody actually picking cherries with one of these

They are very cool but rediclously hard to sell. When I bought my crewcab last april VWDownunder had one which they'd reduced from £14000 to £10000. It was loverly, orange, stripy bumpers with all the German town council logos on. I checked back on their site a few weeks ago and they were still trying to move it and the sticker price had dropped to £6000.
The main reason I didn't buy it myself was that it wouldn't fit in the garage - but I now keep the crewcab in a barn so it wouldn't have mattered. Doh.
Even the missus thought the cherry picker was a neat idea?!? I could've done with it the other week when I was fitting a chimney liner....
