How do you rate the Avant Josh?

Got one coming on Friday

[josharb87]

Cheers, its an Avant 750 Not mine unfortunately. Its great, the grapple makes it far better than the normal grabs-you can drag out long sections so not limited by width, stack higher etc.

[Andymacp]

Is that grab one of many attachments or is it extra?

Can it really lift a ton ?

[josharb87]

I believe this one is rated to lift 1.4ton. but I'm guessing thats without attachment and close in. I wouldn't be surprised if the grab weighs 300kg, and it holds the weight an extra meter out so probably under a ton realistically.

 

With pallet forks id expect it to easily lift a pallet weighing over a ton.

Mondays job was the felling of 4 pines and a spruce (no pics) tuesday was loading up and grinding the 3 stumps on the lawn.. 65m3/18.5ton of wood and branches.

Todays morning job was rigging down a maple (windy hence rigging) driving it out, stacking ready for collection.

sure it goes of to be chipped for biomass, over ther they have this biomass thing sorted ,unlike the uk were its a scam

[josharb87]

Biomass like Johnny said.

 

With the space over here, Its more efficient doing this than chipping onsite and carting away IMO

Had to fell these two today. One Sycamore leaning back over a road and towards the railway also growing out of a really steep bank , also among the phone and overhead lines, also raining and blowing a hoolie , Great . The other a 100 foot Poplar with lean back and the wind in it next to a power line. No room for error so winched them over.
