Use of Avent loader on wet ground.

[Arborist]

Ive got an avent out on hire today for clearing up brash on a grass paddock type area and it has rained all night. Has anyone used this type of machine on wet ground with any luck before, had a bobcat on wet ground and it was useless!

Any help would be good as ive got 20min to cancell it for today.

Shift the blame onto the supplier.... Ask them what its like, if they say it will be fine and then turns out to be useless tel them and say you wont pay

I cancelled it and ill do it next week, its not worth the hassel argueing with the hire company or trashing the cliants lawn.

it is night and day compared to a skid steer, it makes less mess than a human mate, the wheels always turn, they never drag or skid, but better safe than sorry mate

we have an avant and it is a great bit of kit even in the wet. if there are any sleep slopes though it wont be great even though you can stick it in 4 wheel drive. id wait for a drier day.

The area is compleatly flat ground but has been quite soggy! Im getting it back in on Tuesday and hopefully it will have dried out a bit.

 

What attachments have you and what do you use to pick up and move brash? This machine either comes with a 4 in 1 bucket or a silage grapple.

Hi Paul,

 

I have hired one of these before, they are great fun. I had the grapple on the front which was great for brash and timber lengths as well.

Hi Al,

 

Did you hire it off DD hire?

 

I got it back out on hire tomorrow, ground should be hard!

 

I never got the reply to the message I sent you about the stump grinding because my pm box was full!

Yes it was from DD. It was quite an old one and the four wheel drive didn't work, but still saved a load of time.

Let me know if you have any big stumps to do.

 

We did that conifer after Xmas, took 3 of us one day and me and my son (14 yr old) 3 hours next day to clear up:001_cool:
