I'm sure this is common knowledge to many but I'm at a disadvantage because of my location. Can anyone tell me how many trucks have tillers and what companies have them?
 
Ladders:
Manhattan: 5, 6, 20, 34, 40
Bronx: 39
Queens: 143
Brooklyn: 101, 104, 106, 118, 147, 175
 
1 possibly two are goin to be replaced this year 2010
 
Sorry that has been raised to 7 total and 1 ordered last year
 
Was going on the other post labeled Tractor Drawn Aerials, sir
 
Just wondering what are the chances that L39 will remain a tiller and not get a rearmount when due for replacement now that they are on the other side of E 233 St. I would guess that 90% or more of their runs are on that side as opposed to going into Woodlawn. Any other ladder that goes into Woodlawn is not a tiller and L51 is a 95' tl and they go into Woodlawn. 
 
Odds are L-39 will remain a tiller due to the narrow streets of woodlawn, also there are a few tight streets on the east side where they are now. The woodlawn community fought hard to keep them in old quarters and i think they would fight harder if the get a rearmount.

They did fight hard for years and were able to keep L-39 where they were for a long time, up until recently.
 
When I lived in Woodlawn in the 80's, there was a gentleman who was the Captain of L52 who lived in Woodlawn and was on the homeowners association and lead the fight to keep L39 in Woodlawn.
