MultiOne 7.3+ it's arrived

[blades]

Whats the weight of the machine, and what engine is in it?

 

 

35hp Yanmar Diesel Engine

 

1670kg

[blades]

That's a very impressive lift capacity. I imagine lifting those bags was a doddle if it's got a max 1550kg lift.

Shame the boom can't be rotated 360 degrees for mini digging!

cheers, steve

 

Not 360 rotation... But pretty good I would say... The back hoe attachment

Another one

Will avant atachments fit? If so, I may look into ome of these instead

Loader end attachment fits... Hydraulics need either an adapter or a different hydraulic fitting.

Yeah I noticed that... but you can't rotate the bucket around without moving the whole machine.

 

I'm just nit picking really! They look excellent for all kinds of other reasons....

 

cheers, Steve

 

 

True Steve, it's not a mini digger where the job calls specifically for a mini digger.

 

Either the fixed back hoe, with the implication of having to move the vehicle to slew, or the slew arm variant where you'd have to change seats to move the vehicle, are not as good as a mini digger but for versatility, utility and perhaps less complex or occasional jobs....

 

The question would be, hire a mini digger or buy the attachment??

Yeah, there are pros and cons with both.

- Mini digger tracks are a major bonus for grip and not churning up the ground like a wheeled vehicle.... but very slow mph.

- Wheeled vehicles like the multi-one bomb around much faster but more likely to rut the ground....

- Lifting capacity of the multi-one seems way bigger than a mini-digger could cope with (which I found surprising).

 

If the Multi-One had tracks that could drop down and a 360 degree rotating arm/& cab it would be the ultimate all-in-one vehicle..... especially if it had a drinks cabinet in the cab as well.

 

If it were me I'd probably save up all my digging jobs and hire in/ or buy a mini digger.

Spot on and exactly what I did. Bought a Takeuchi TB216

 

Just to add, I think you may be surprised at just how 'nimble' it is on its tyres. Its quite gentle on grass.

very gentle on grass with the right tyres, I regularly use mine on golf courses

Like my Avant the problem comes when you start carrying 1 tonne logs on the front. Soon makes ruts in the lawn then!
