An absolute ANIMAL

[difflock]

The wee 3720 J Deere, that was left parked up overnight (last night) at the back of the house.

Only 45HP, 3 range hydrostatic transmission driving poxy wee small turf tyres, with a JD loader and a 1.8m wide JD bucket.

Which looks ridicously large on the front.

Truely astounding what it will load and push, all with nary a fear of causing mechanical damage.

I want one.

But do I want an 600 Series Avant more:confused1:

Ah really really canny have both.

A tough one to call.

Might need to do a back to back comparison.

I used a fairly large Avant a few months ago and really didn't like it. Unstable, poor lift capacity and so jarring in it's ride I gave up after a couple of hours.

We run the work 640 tyres at 20psi (my doing) ,no suspension, so can be bumpy.

180kg ballast to the rear.

Will easily Lift 1 tonne, with some limited outreach.

A proper quart in a pint pot.

We also use it in the manner intended, to drive various hydraulic tools.

It does exactly what I/we bought it to do.

Works mostly in the cemetery.

They feel unstable j but with counter weights and water ballast in the wheels they are awesome, just takes a bit of getting used to.

Mine is same as big avant, did a storm damage beech that fell from a woodland into a garden. Cut the head off the stem, threw a line over a crotch in a neighbouring tree down to the stem and yanked it back upright and over in the opposite direction to cut up in the wood. Then shoved it back into the hole to fill it back in. The little machine is a tough mudder and I'd hate to estimate the weights and forces involved
