Avant 860i Major Design Issues
HuntingHicap replied to DanR1982's topic in International Arborist Forum
I work for a hire company, we have run 860i's for the last 3 years or so. Not had any of the above issues. Did have some dashboard water ingress issues, but I think they were caused by over zealous wash bay lads pressure washing the dashboard at close range. The new 635's we have had some issues with fan belts snapping. I personally really rate the avants for what they are, yes the plastics are brittle but they seriously punch above their weight. -

Why would you ever give a customer an option to not pay for the job to be done properly? The price is A - full price for a proper job or B - zero, because the job isn’t getting done. If they want to get pikies with ladders in and have loads of mess and shit broken leave them to it.

You can't ring for an appointment any more at our surgery . It all has to be done on line now . People kicked against it initially but it seems to be working smoothly now .

It was a bizarre period, insects that were thought to be harmless and friendly turned against us in a Hitchcockian manner. The summer was unprecedented, people getting water from standpipes. John Noakes taking a shower in his swimming trunks on Blue Peter to illustrate how more economical it was compared to a bath. It had an End of Days feel to it.

That’s what they are paid for and trained to do. I’d imagine he will sleep well tonight once the adrenaline subsides.

Stihl released the 500i six years ago. They're the bollocks. Why aren't more saws injected by now?

Did you rate it as a grinder though Josh? Pretty sure that’s the one Ross White had, and thought it was mentally good, possibly too good for the size/weight. Like an animal 8” chipper that weighed 400kg.

Researchers have discovered why women put on weight once married. A single woman, after a night out, returns home looks at what's in the fridge and goes to bed. A married woman, after a night out, looks at what's in the bed and goes to the fridge.

They're pretty simple machines. Mine jammed up the other day when a fork went through it but the overrun clutch on the PTO shaft saved the day. The product is fiddly to burn but you can really fill a stove up and it goes for a long time. It gets choked up on brash but it's a decent way of reducing bulk if you don't have a chipper

Tried a pair of these on in store felt pretty good. Can anyone vouch for their long term comfort, any good with spikes? Any good for hiking as well- I know they’re stiff and a bit heavy Cheers

A nice bag of ArbSurplus rope ends, most appear to be around 5m. Pair of saw lanyards, decent quality, made in UK.

Cheers for them answers. I hadn't thought about roadsise to be honest Mark, I might get away with that in spring when tree work's quiet. Thanks for the tip about Chainsaw Bars UK too, I get most of my milling kit that way but since Brexit I pay big import duties on it. He's got a load of Manpa stuff too I've seen which might be useful. I would probably be able to justify the expense if I knew I could sell some work off the back of it. Carving more would be a good start. Cheers again for your help, I probably will give you a shout Mark next time I'm over visiting.
