whats your avant shear like some of there attachments are not as good as the price leads you to believe they should be 

It's solid!  Well made and simple!  
 

regarding the rotator , it would make a huge difference for getting into awkward limbs, on the digger I wouldn't be without it.  Unless it was on a 13 tonner where it's pure power and strength, I'm just playing in gardens with mine.

Any ideas on cost of the Avant tree shear?

Mines X demo with a few bits of wear and tear, not sure on new price.

Would you say that the Avant shear (just as a grab) would be strong enough to hold (subject to ground conditions etc) a topped conifer tree of around 10ft x 2ft in diameter? I know this is how long is a piece of string etc? I would be interested to know what limits you avant users have reached.

I think the key is forward thinking, at least when I am grabbing a tree that someone is cutting which amounts to the same thing.

If it’s heavy getting it down low as soon and as smoothly as you can, getting some weight on the ground either the butt or laying it forward.

Don’t do what I did and grab a big side branch get them to cut it and nearly topple the loader.

Yep I know what you mean about that I guess its trail and error and as already mention don't get greedy. Nothing much to look at online that I can find anyway. 

[Chipperclown]

Trial even!!

Did you get a price?
