Hi Woodsy
Your recent comments about trees being felled, and lumberjack or tree surgeon models and toys, reminded me of a Matchbox model from a few years ago that I have.
The MB74 Utility Truck (numbered MB33 in the USA) has an elevating and folding plastic arm, with two buckets at the top for workmen. The copyright date on the base is 1989, and the scale is given as 1:83.
The model came in a wide range of colour schemes. Most were power or telephone company vehicles, but two were marked Tree Care. These date from the mid-1990s.
The first was cream, with green plastic parts and printing. The second was metallic green, with white plastic parts and printing.
Here is the Matchbox Wiki page for this model:
As I have lost track of my own models, here are a couple of photographs from Worthpoint showing this model in its Tree Care colours.

I like this model Paul. I have a similarly chunky Matchbox fire engine without the ladder, In fact I have two.
