This kind. Used for siding and soffit work.... I hate them, but used many times.

You might hate them, until you have to climb up two or three stories on some flimsy rickety back-and-forth 2X frame work contraption to put siding on.
 


I have been toying with the idea of a battery operated scissors lift like is used for indoor work, mounted onto a tractor three point. I was looking on line at scissors lifts and found one that mounts onto a skid steer. So I thought well, I could fab up the structure to hook onto one with the three point, and be able to use it around a building. Just back into place, set it plumb with the leveling box and top link, drop the legs and wind the screw jacks down tight, and I'm in business. I could even plug it into the tractor electric, with proper regulation, and keep the batteries up.
 
Yeah Kevin.
You know me.
I still live in the early 1900's.
I have one of these engines and wood like to have a pump jack for it.

I have used them also. Used to have enough to go all the way around a house. Sold them last year. Still have three aluminum planks, one 24' and two 28'.

Well, I'm from the center of early oil production area and this is what I thought of at first reading:

When I was a kid our farm had a few similar, but run from sucker rods located in the middle of several wells rather than electric. Operated using an engine powered by natural gas. An employee, the 'pumper' came by daily to start and stop the engine.
These were all shallow wells, no deep stuff.

New livestock got a scare the first time all those rods in the pasture started moving!
 
When I was younger grandpa had a pump jack on the barn well. I was fascinated. It was run with an electric motor. We ran it with a JD B if the power was out.
 
The aluminum pole ones are way nicer. We had that style back in the 80s. Never cared for them. Rough terrain forklift with a OSHA approved 16 platform was much nicer.
