Thanks Mick. How much did that set you back?

 

I am currently hiring an Avant E6, the battery job which isn't too bad, forks, bucket and sweeper, but would like to try the grapple, etc for moving trees and brash. Gotta build a big ole bon fire soon too so probably worth it.  Want to get a multi loader for the site I work on trialing Avant to see what it can do. 

All in all 50k, machine, attachements etc.

 

I think for tree work they are brilliant, panels a bit fragile though (and expensive to replace)

Row of Ash to remove. Absolute horrible job in the end due to heavy downpours each day. The poor customers garden got hit hard by the Avant and plant. I myself made a mistake felling one of the dead stems due to rushing/bad weather as the hinge snapped like a breadstick but luckily fell in the right(ish) direction.

My climbers also had a rough time rigging all the overhanging limbs from other gardens full of sheds/greenhouses and Husky Dogs and the fact they didn’t want anything falling in their gardens anyway. Wasn’t a smooth job as first expected. A few rough cuts when the weather really turned. But many lessons learned.

 

All that’s left is timber to collect. Last bit of brash to chip. I’ve ordered 2 tonne of stone for the customers driveway, top soil for the garden and grass seed of which we will return and make everything as good as possible when we’ve cleared the timber and debris.

A fair bit of cash, but I understand they are pretty good from what I have seen so far. Will be getting a demo of the Multione shortly. The 8 series look pretty big.

Easily towable in a trailer, which is key.

 

The 7.3 is the same size, slightly less powerful but there’s not much in it for the money.

There are plenty of decent other brands as well Schaeffer (sp) Giant, Cast.

I've had a shot of the Cast loaders as I know a dealer up here. They're brilliant, and pretty well priced as well I would say.
