Avant - Log cutter/splitter

 

Any feedback welcome cheers guys

Good looking setup though.

yes. post puller and soil screener!

Hi Dan,

 

We have both a soil screener for the Avants and also excavators, well infact for pretty well any machine.

 

The Avant doesnt need an attachment to pull posts, but we usuall us silage forks on knocked in posts an just put a spike in low down and rotate the bucket and they pop out.

 

If they are in concrete then a chain around the post and lift them out.

The avant will only put enough force on the post that the machine will lift, and i have had the odd occasion where the avant will not pull out a concreted post. If you utilise a post puller with a ram, it should treble the force. The soil screener is good, but needs to be cheaper as its twice the price of the supascreen. I take it you hire the screeners when I need them?

I do have a screening bucket available for hire but it maybe a little on the large size for your machine. But you can give it a go and see if you can lift a full bucket with it.
