All spec taken from websites with back weights 

Iam not saying your not right but i can't find it anywhere on the avant site if their specs are with or without weights which is a bit bad really.

Just need to be sure people are comparing like for like.

Back weight on the avant 420 is 29 kg , each side weight (2) is 80kg. Plus you can fill the tyres with water antifreeze ... someone tell me how you do that pls. 

[Blake@waveney]

Completely fair comment. Most of the spec sheets for the avant Loaders say included with back weights. I don t see why they would not spec this on all.  If I am not correct then I fully apologise.

Any ways think this thread has derailed enough. People can feel free to ask me any questions. Let's get back to showing what they can do and show how much easier life is with one.

It’ll be interesting to see a vid of MO collector mower in action (not a sales vid.)

I bought the mower (not collector)

Concerns so far:

On wet ground, the overall machine + attachment weight presents ground impact issues, I’ve changed over to turf tyres too, but it is a particularly wet area.

With a collector you are (a) adding the weight of the grass in the box to overall unit weight and potentially worsening the ground impact scenario, and (b) loosing time on task in transit to empty the box.

I’ll get a vid of mower (with Mulcher) if it ever dries out enough to get it on task.

My concerns are same as Kevin has highlighted. I have seen the youtube video but we all know reality can be very different. Seeing it in person would be great.

 

I work on small meadows. We cut and clear longer growth with a sickle bar and rake but sometimes it's too short to be effective. We take the material away in tipper trailer. Obviously the aim is to cut and clear to reduce nutrient so something like the tornado appeals to me. Being able to tip into a ifor with high sides would be a real benefit. Wet ground or material isn't such an issue as we do it late summer and can pick to do it on a dry couple of days. It's capacity and trips back to the van which are more of an issue.

From the testing we had done the tornado sounds just the ticket, the volume of grass is not going to be any less or any more when looking a different make mowers / collector's & there is limited choice.   It is very effective in how it works & the job it dose, We would strongly recommend you give this unit a look & chance, I have been working around machinery for the last 40 - 45 years & know what works when I see it & this really dose do the business as a mower collector.

Feeding my chipper with the grapple, it did jam but I didn’t have time to go all Hollywood on it.

Very nice , saves a fair bit of labour & also saves dressing with the saw so has a health & safety benefit at the same time,
