Does anyone run an AVANT loader? Opinions please

[bigdave]

I'v hired them In on several occasions there a quirky piece of kit!

 

They do feel unstable untill you get used to them!

 

They are good machines & are very versatile!

 

As for purchasing one myself I went down the skidsteer route but that was more to do with a tighter turning circle in the yard & I had the chance of a good skidsteer at cheap money!

Thanks for the feed back. i do think an avant would suit the firewood game well and heaping up brush etc. not interested in loader tractor, i already have 2 tractors and could stick a loader on them but need something more nimble to work in tight sheds and in the woods etc...puls i could stick the avant on back of my car trailer and take to jobs/hire out etc

I have the CSF, very similar machine. If tipping is an issue you can fit wider or dual wheels, but as Dean says if often feels tippy but in reality you are nowhere near tipping over.

 

In terms of value for money on a farm a tractor with front loader is probably better, pto attachments are cheaper than hydraulic ones.

 

I like my machine because its narrow, and can fit on my lorry sideways, so I can get a bay of 10' lengths and the machine on.

Just found this looking back through old threads, any one else got any photos showing multione / avant

loaders, lets see what you have guys :biggrin::biggrin:
