The Multione/Avant type loaders have the potential to be a lot of things. With a lot more hydraulic flow than a similar sized digger, they can be a decent flail mower carrier, for example. Trouble is, the attachments are mega bucks too.

 

Its horses for courses. If you need to lift and carry, nothing beats a mini loader. For digging or drilling holes, collecting and loading brash a short distance onto a fire, stacking timber, knocking in posts, flail mowing on a bank, a digger can be a cost effective tool carrier too.

 

When I first set up, I was all set to get an Avant. I didn't get the job that would have almost paid for it, and I got offered a digger on finance from mentor. The rest is history- I went down the digger route, and now I have micro to 2.7t, with every attachment under the sun. I love the look of the mini loaders, but I really can't think of a job I do where they would be much of a help, certainly not £30k plus worth of help.

 

But that's my business model, and everyone's is different.

I take it all back 😆

I guess it depends on the site but with either if it's wet you need boards to not destroy the clients garden but if it's just for shifting vast quantities of materials the loader every time.. I could get by and do with out a digger but I would not give up the loader !

Diggers are cheap and easy to hire , it’s a dive to the bottom with price, try hiring a mini loader, far more skill needed to operate so not so available 

At least three companies in my area hire them. Arguable about more skill to operate, plenty of people can make a mess with a digger, not that many can actually operate one.
