I agree! The liability would definitely keep me from doing that. Secondly would be some of the older equipment is hard to find good usable information on. Unless you work for an equipment company and have that one old guy thats still not giving it up. But then you have to kiss ass to a grumpy old guy just to get anywhere...don't ask how I know. He hated all the new younger guys for months and sometimes years...it just took him some time to figure out I wanted to learn and I wasn't just some punk off the street! Hahaha But when it comes to old stuff he's definitely the go to guy at our shop. VERY knowledgeable, and a real good guy once you get passed the initiation process! But all joking aside we do have a guy that used to come to our shop and buy the junkest of the junk and fix it to resell. He's made a living doing it and used to buy anything, even stuff that should have been scrapped many moons ago. I just wouldn't be able to sleep at night trying to do that!

A few differences between the 3.
JLG uses electric wheel drive motors so there is no chance of a hyd. leak at the motors, but there are problems with the cables breaking from constant turning when steering. Also brake issues are common as well as fastener corrosion (Aluminum/steel) that will make you pull your hair out.
Genie uses a lot of electronics. Lots of connections and components to have problems with.
Skyjack is probably the simplest of the bunch, but they to use electronics and simperler components.
If you buy from rental look it over close, you would not believe some of the way customers can abuse equipment. Larger scissor lifts I can almost guarantee a problem with deck extensions, It wont slide just drive it into a wall or post to get it back in.
If you are going to use it in a commercial use MAKE SURE ALL DECALS ARE THERE, Liability for any accident starts there.
