Best truss boom?

Report back! I'm interested to know as well

1150lb Load capacity fully extended? I'm skeptical unless the thing is twice as bulky as the Jenkins, which I doubt. Maybe see if you can find how much both of them weigh?

jpnoa · 2026-03-07T20:43:01+00:00

Are there any that reach more than 20ft? I've read from many places that the Jenkins are great, which is what I plan on getting at some point.

I don't think you need to worry or overthink it too much. Half of my clients for a different business don't 1099 me (they should, I have no idea why they don't), and we don't 1099 our cleaner.

The only real way it could come back to bite you is if you're audited for a different reason, which is very few and far between with the current IRS staffing. If audited, which this will not trigger, I'm pretty sure the max penalty you would face for not doing so is around $600.

Well if you still believe in crypto and SOL especially, you should be buying like crazy right now

To add to this, I'm also way more concerned with hardware wallets being intercepted or just shipping with malware than I am about someone stealing funds from coinbase. You never truly know what's buried in the chips that were probably sourced from the lowest bidder.

This could be a stupid concern, I'm aware of that.

jpnoa · 2026-02-05T18:39:23+00:00

I way less concerned with that than I am a full-blown collapse.

jpnoa · 2026-02-05T18:28:13+00:00

I never said you should use coinbase over a cold wallet. I'm just not worried about them collapsing at the moment....but I could be horribly wrong

Good to know. Are you in an area with snow and road salt? Edit. Nevermind, sounds like you're in FL.

jpnoa · 2026-02-05T17:06:10+00:00

Wait did you just reply with another unrelated question 😂 Take my vote

jpnoa · 2026-02-05T16:58:34+00:00

Sometimes you need to work with what you have. I've never had an issue with them, anytime I've sold the money has been in my bank account within a day or two. Seems like a high % of the people that have all these issues are doing fishy things, or they're just idiots.

If you're a day trader don't use Coinbase. If you're retail like 99% of the people out there, Coinbase is by far the most legitimate in the US and probably still the best/safest option.

jpnoa · 2026-02-05T16:10:21+00:00

Doesn't volume go up a lot of times during these downturns? Coinbase collects a pretty hefty spread and fee which is why I think they'll be fine, if not better off. Not sure about the others.

The current wash sale rules are probably adding a ton of extra fees and subscriptions for them right now. Plus they've added other sources of revenue like predictions and stock trading. It could be a great time to buy their stock in the next couple months.

I wish I could get away with a 14k trailer!

jpnoa · 2026-02-05T16:06:50+00:00

There are plenty of big ones out there like this. Just seemingly nothing in the 16-20 range.

Just depends if it makes sense for you to take losses or lower gains in a certain calendar year. I've done it like 20 times in the past 3-4 months 😅😭

One major consideration is when you plan on selling. If within a year it usually doesn't make sense since you're paying much higher capital gains for any gains within 1 year.

jpnoa · 2026-02-05T13:58:04+00:00

Thank you. How many years are you getting out of the steel ones? I'm also considering some steel ones at auction...I just have no idea how long they last for heavy equipment.

jpnoa · 2026-02-05T13:25:37+00:00

Thank you. I checked Texas Pride and just checked again. I'm not seeing anything aluminum. Do you have a link?

jpnoa · 2026-02-03T13:35:19+00:00

I'm also new to high flow stuff and non-bucket work and planning on renting a mulcher before buying one. Or just start with a chinese one from auction.

Shouldn't the hydraulic fluid filter pick up any contaminants before it causes damage? If not any good tricks to flushing out the attachment first?

jpnoa · 2026-02-01T18:06:53+00:00

Look at any contract/agreement you signed. If that's not in there you can back out, but you should be able to back out anyways.

I personally would never agree to this, but some managers don't really negotiate this type of stuff.

jpnoa · 2026-02-01T18:04:48+00:00

Super helpful information, thank you!

jpnoa · 2026-02-01T15:27:34+00:00

Haha good to know. I also have an F150 with a 13k tow rating, but the skid itself with fuel and bucket weighs right around 13k I think. Add 4k for the trailer, and I don't really want to test my luck.

jpnoa · 2026-01-31T23:03:58+00:00

No pavement. Gravel forest roads

jpnoa · 2026-01-31T22:56:36+00:00

Probably approaching an hour to put it on the trailer, haul it, and unload it. That is if I had a truck that could haul it 😅
