Whats your multione loader doing today ?

The newest attachment to the line up! Digga 1200mm trencher. Got a great deal of an ex demo model that had already had a custom Avant bracket built for it. I just swapped the avant coupling for flat faces (need to shorten the hoses at some point though).

 

I've got 4 jobs over the next 6 weeks for it so I'll get some pictures of it in action.

Ok, too hurried to get a before picture but the flail reduced this area of waist high brambles to a tidy piece of ground in 15 minutes.

Good work. How have you been getting on well with the flail? Is it on knives (same as my side shift) or hammers?

Knives (by which you mean the thin bits of metal right?)

 

As for its performance, it took some working out how to get the best out of it.

It seems to prefer brambles and thicker brush to long grass which tends to wrap around it. I run it at around 2000rpm. 

I primarily bought it for around my own property, but I would like to make money with it.

 

Overall a really good attachement. Well worth having.

Forgive me if there's already a mention of this somewhere, it's a long thread! 

 

Has anybody used the bigger multione/avant etc. to run a "dropping hammer" type fence post driver?

Not myself but I have seen one on an Avant. It was ok but I wasn't hugely impressed. It was next to a 300kg on a 70hp tractor so perhaps not a fair comparison.  It looked like you would need to have a smaller weight (150-200kg) than you would on the equivalent size tractor (1.5-2t). 

 

Multec do one on a MO/avant bracket.

Thanks for that, I was just curious really. I've been working for a bloke recently who runs a big one on a tractor and I got to thinking about how he/I would manage if the terrain was worse, access smaller, or if we wanted to work further from base and tow a machine behind the pickup rather than driving the tractor all the way to the job.

There's a company in Essex runs an Avant with a biggish Vector thumper on .

He had made it so it's a one man operation. I think he can operate the Avant from the post thumper but don't quote me on that but I know he dose not get in it to move it about

With an adaptor bracket was what I thought. Side tilt. 

 

Would still be a two man operation to be efficient.
