I finally swapped to a shorter boom after 6 years

Last week I was fighting a tight jobsite in Portland and couldn't get the hook where I needed it. An old hand told me to try a 70-footer instead of my usual 90, and it made the whole pick way smoother. Has anyone else had a specific boom length change your work flow?

@kim_hart7 you ran a 90 footer in tight spots for six years? I can't believe you waited that long.

Yeah that 70 footer changed everything for me in tight spots, way easier to finesse the load.
