The way I see it is i love what i do but am under no illusion that i will be able to do it for the rest of my life. I've decided to invest in the future and when i can afford it buy kit that will make the job easier and more enjoyable. 

I am considering a loader for this reason.  Can you give me the pros and cons of Avant over Multione (or vice versa!).

Thanks

MultiOne you get a 3 year warranty vrs 2 year with Avant. 

[Blake@waveney]

They basically do the same thing but why I choose MultiOne vrs avant was down to cost, size, lift, service from importer and dealers. Since buying mine I now sell them so I am afraid I am very biased now but I took 6 months of research and thinking before I bought one for my business. It’s abit like stihl vrs husky or Timberwolf vrs greenmech but I don t want to start that up again. It’s your choice but I would say go Blue.

I'm picturing something like this :


 

 

Thats really only a lightweight drag rake.What i have is a basically a 1800 mm rhs with 12 mm flat bar welded to it and a pipe that slides inside the BMG upright.its held on by 1 bolt.Works best in float mode backwards but a good operator can also push with it without too much damage to the turf.

BMG do a vertical spring tine one you can use with a 4 in 1 or slide into the upright of the grapple

I will take a photo tomorrow

Who supplies BMG grapples in the UK?

I believe Multione themselves have started making them. If not Hywel Evans Fabrications will make them to order.

Thanks. I thought BMG was a specific brand. I posted a Hywel Evans one a few posts back. I am going to have a chat.

Appreciate what you say about the 'knockabout' usage but would hydraulic rotation be better if cost was less of an issue?

Branch Manager Attachments  ( top notch )  is an american brand.Hydraulic rotation could be dangerous on a small loader possibility of tipping over etc.

The hanger version just follows you around as you drive the loader in drag mode. No buttons to push either.Just grab and drive.In a tight situation you will have to keep an eye on it. And when you get to the chipper unlike a 4 in 1 or such it's not fighting you .

A decent articulated loader with a BMG or equivalent is a huge labour saver and i am amazed that so many people can't see this.

I have no affiliation with any manufacturer of loader or grapple by the way either.

The multione 5.3 machine and grab with rotator on their Facebook page is my machine just before delivery.

The grab is manufactured by Hywel Evans and it's a top notch job.

 

Like I said I'll have it out next week for a good testing k a job so I'll post some pics.

That was my thinking on the tree shear scenario, I didn't want grab and hold for that very reason.
