I don't have any certificates certifying me to work on them, but I have worked on quite a few different types and brands of cranes for over 15 years, so I think I am pretty well qualified. That said, your right in the older cranes being so much better than the new ones in so many ways. Granted the new ones have all the fancy electronics, etc, but I dare any idiotic politician to show me a real reduction in accidents, etc brought about by all the fancy electronics and schooling, over the old guys that could lift anything 'by the seat of their pants'. They all used the most powerful computer in the world, the human brain, and did it well for ALOT of years.
That said seeing idiots setting on their fat butts behind a desk making/proposing rules about things they know nothing about makes me sick. The way I see it though 'WE THE PEOPLE' really do control those idiots so, whether anyone believes it or not. I say that because there will be plenty of work available to any crane operator/owner/contractor, big or small outside NYC. That being the case IF such a rule were to pass, all it would take is for those in the industry to refuse to work in the city to get the whole deal thrown out. Seriously, if no one would work there, then nothing would get done, by anyone. Think about what would happen then, you'd have other several unions get involved because their members have little to no work, you'd have the corporations with the money to build not wanting to deal with the hassle, and on, and on. The repercussions would be HUGE, and I don't know of a politician out there, even Bloomberg, who could handle it. Remember even with all his billions he has yet to bowl over us legal gun owners, like he thought he would....and if you put the full weigh and opinion of all those mentioned previously into defeating a cause, then it won't stand a chance.....The problem is getting enough folks on board and willing to lose a million or two in order to save themselves millions more.....unfortunately there will always be one in the bunch that can't get their mind off the first million and ruin it for everyone.......

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
