A mate I used to work with a lot had one of these, but it wasn’t the Avant one. It was from an Irish firm if I recall. I’ll try and remember what it was. It was straightforward enough to operate and quite productive. It used to creep down on the boom a fair bit so we used to find some logs to pop underneath. That’s one thing I liked about it, because you had it on the boom you could adjust the height for each user. Saved getting a wrecked back. 
 

Let me get back to you with more details.

I’m looking at similar kit at moment too. 
 

Already running a stand alone upright splitter with 3pl brackets but I run it off a hyd pp. 

 

From memory, Mick Dempsey put some thoughts forward on the subject in a different thread a while back and they’ve stuck with me - if you tie your splitter / processor to your Avant/MultiOne, (a) you lose the availability of the machine for lifting / loading / moving and (b) you potentially whack a load of hours on the machine. 
 

Looking at the Jappa 305 at mo. Plenty of vids on YouTube - even 1 with it being operated on an Avant (I think that is the company “Reach it, Move it, Lift if” or something similar. 
 

My conclusion thus far, unless I do a lot more log work, I probably can’t justify the outlay v return. 
 

I may see if I can have a week hire of someone else’s 305. Hire cost + transport worthwhile, <10k purchase outright, at the moment prob’s not viable. 
 

Hyd 305 run off MO 4K cheaper, but brings the issues mentioned above.

The one you have is what I am after Mick, did you have this made for your machine?

Hywel Evans knocked it up for me a few years back, it has a mètre long ram as wood is often split in mètre lengths here.

It struggles to get through a mètre billet if I’m honest.

Very good on 50cm though.
