Avant 420?

[Daggi]

I was thinking about buying this pallet forks with log grappler, but i think i will have problems moving branches and waste like smaller logs etc, Or im i wrong?

 

And the next attachement i was looking at with the Avant dealer was the silage fork.

I also see that there will be a problem when you can not close it all the way because of the internal spikes, but if its possible only to cut of the length of the spikes and you can close the grab even more, than maybe i should have a look at the silage fork again.

 

Will the hydraulic cylinder to the silage fork have enough length to close the silage fork even more if you cut of the length of the spikes?

 

And is there anyone who have a idea of how the 420 will bee to use if i put a timber crane(that has been on a Vahva Jussi timber wagon for ATV),approx 100 kg, to the back of the Avant?

I see that the metal-plate where you attach the extra weigth is thick and it should be no problem mounting it on the back of the Avant, i guess?

 

With 100 kg of extra weigth on the back i guess i should always have some extra weight in the front for compensating.

not sure where you are based, but you could have a word with my local avant chap, he can steer you in the right direction.

I think the extra weight on the back will be ok, as you can buy additional weights in any case and i think it will make little difference to the front. Avant make a timber crane and trailer for it!!

You will find that you will not need to close the forks all the way, so i really dont think its an issue. The internal spike are removed also as when you grab timber, they can dig in and the timber wont release properly

This type of grab you can use it almost like a rake, pushing, roll and "bale" branches before grabbing a big load of them. down side is if you have a 3m long branch/stem you need a 3m wide access.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This type i believe is a one off build. (a companies i sub too)

Grab, rotator and winch.

pros is you can grab and reverse to drag/extract, cons is its HEAVY far too heavy for a 420
