Worked on a job where we had one for a week. I think we had it for £500 ish for the week. Awesome bit of kit, easily lift half a ton.

what was the cost of hiring the avant

 

It was £80 for the day.

It would lift 2t (without the boom out) and cos it's articulated it caused no lawn damage at all, and i really mean none. There was minor scuffing on the really steep part of the garden where we had to shuffle the machine but otherwise it was awesome.

thats pretty reasonable for a machine of its capacity

a chap i used to work for had the vermer one with the log grab and a bucket.

fantastic piece of kit. Was narrow aswel so could fit through most gate ways.

We used to carry ply sheets to put down on the lawn, making a runway, to stop damage to the lawn.

I had a big Beech to dismantle. Brush was chipped on site but the logs had to go up hill for 100m, so I hired an Avant 635.

 

WHAT AN AWESOME TOOL!

If I needed one twice a week I'd buy one tomorrow.

How much are they new?

Do you see second hand ones about?

There was a deal recently on the 420 at just under £12k new, I tried a nearly new one and I can see they would be a useful tool but it didn't have enough pushing power for me to want to buy one.

But the 600 series are supposed to be a completely different beast but has a fair price tag as well, somewhere around the £22k mark from what I can remember for the 635.
