I finally bit the bullet and ordered my first YCC model. After getting some advice on picking this one I am sure glad I listened! Probably one of the nicest models I have yet seen and easily my favorite out of my entire collection now. I know Paul already took some photos of this but I had to share some more! I found it weird that my box is number 79 out of 85 and my nameplate is 74 out of 85.
















An outstanding model to say the least!

Great shots and Iā€™m happy you like the model.

The number on the box and one the plate are not related. The number on the box relates to the production number of the actual crane. So 79th LG built.

Ok that's pretty cool they have that info on the box. Do we know how many LG 1550's were produced?

Rivera, I really suggest one of these models if you don't have on yet.

I have never been more impressed with any other model over this one. I am just hoping YCC makes the luffing jib for it in the future.

I like the idea of the Canadian Tire fishing wires as load cables. Affordable, easy to find, safe, efficient. I have some too Cool

That said, very nice setup. Can't stop looking at this beautiful mobile crane.
