Whats your multione loader doing today ?

[shillo]

were turf tyres not an option?

[Mick Dempsey]

Turf tyres don’t have the load carrying capacity, I have used them but under heavy load they are vulnerable.

Does any one have a 4 or 5 foot mower (not flail) for there avant or multi one? If so any chance you could let me know some info or send a pic of what size hydraulic motor it has. 

I've got a 5foot mower deck off a compact tractor, which I was thinking of modifying to fit the avant. But don't know what size motor I would need?

What HP was the tractor, guessing 20 ish, 20+ prob 

and what hyd flow have you got to drive the hyd motor, that is how big a motor will the Avant drive?

I am only really guessing but I would be looking for about a 15 to 20HP motor

good luck

Pricey but would something like this do it?

75 litres a minute. 15hp.

 

You could just get a 3pt linkage adaptor for the loader.   

 

EDIT - Sorry, I re-read it and you said mower deck, i was think of rear pto finishing mower/topper. I think something like that would work though - 15-30hp, up to 75 litres a minute flow.  There is an avant mower deck for sale on ebay at the moment.

How about just fitting a engine to it.

I am an enthusiastic and committed fan of MO who has put my money where my mouth is, but I would stop short of this functionality on the basis that the cost / benefit ratio (with a mini digger at +/- £100/day hire, and this attachment only providing “some” of the functionality of a tracked mini digger) simply wouldn’t bear up to scrutiny for me. “For me” is the key phrase, it may be different for others, but this attachment doesn’t excite me - and that’s hard for a committed gadget junky to admit!

I think you might be right there Kevin. Some tools suit the MO perfectly, some don't. That said it could come in handy sometimes. There is an Avant version going cheap on EBay at the moment.

Kevin, I would 100% agree with your views, We have experienced Back Hoes on Skid Steers, Avant Loaders & also Tractors of all sizes & you are correct with your statement,  We were that impressed with this one it was " worth telling folk ".  Until we set it up on the machine we were not sure what we had, It uses a short top linkage arm to hold it firm & then there is simple pivoting quick-tach bracket on the attachment & when used correctly the pivot action forces / pins the back hoe to the ground, even digging @ 90 degrees to the machine or off set to the one side it's stability is very impressive and  - Well worth a look, the best one we have seen -
