  1. You got decimal point in right place?
  2. Will not work on a generator
  3. Your 9inch discs are not rated for use on smaller grinders look at the max speeds on the disc
  4. Metabo and Bosch cannot fault either and back up is good which cannot be said for de Walt or makita,
  5. Ok if there is metal to weld chassis are not heavy duty had company one with rot neither of the pro welders employed would touch it so sold for breaking
  6. Remember that they think differently noise and time are your friends, and try to think out of the box make things different
  7. Use versatile in Kent for parts we can't get locally the rest I do myself or get hydraulic fitter to do I use unipower in dunmow for engine parts if kept well greased and oil changed regular don't get many problems, Check your hydraulic filters flow and return you can get a kit from avant for all the filters bit expensive but saves hassle then get local ag merchant to match, avant are expensive for parts and some you just ha to bite the bullet
  8. Yes it makes it a far more usable machine you can retro fit them, there's not a lot to them if you wanted to fabricate, check centre pivot for play and the bushes on the arms and headstock worth replacing these before too much wear.
  9. I have owned four had three on site at once the old 520 was always the first choice to be used is yours direct or chain drive to the wheels?
  10. You can get most of the parts via a hydraulic dealer even a total rebuild with new engine will be less than a new machine and the old 520 + is far superior to the new plastic 420 and 520 they lift more and are smaller, check the centre pivot this needs special tools to replace
  11. If under seat try oil cooler loose pipe or holed matrix
  12. Plant trailer or tipper if loads of attachments
  13. Try van den berk in Holland will deliver to uk. Won't be cheap but very high quality
  14. Looks nice 350 hr possible if used as yard/ home tractor no wear on loader bucket paint still on back axle and lift arms
  15. Avant 420 is too small better with older 520
  16. Without the vac unit it gets messy especially on footpaths with people near
  17. 1.5 tonne digger is a lot slower makes more mess, is unstable as a lifting/ carrying machine and lifts far less. a 950 kg avant will lift at a push and not round corners 750kgs
  18. Quercucs palustris would make a good single and grow quickly , I would plant a stand of alnus glutinosa for shelter
  19. What about more than one tree in a group
  20. Have had avant since 95 better than skid-steer would recommend to purchase the newest machine you can
  21. Don't run close to any wall you will find out why
  22. I am on call for London and Home Counties Christmas Eve to 2nd January large Lump sum paid in advance and £75 /hr / man door to door on call out minimum three hrs
  23. Just get a mosa petrol welder powers grinder and welds up to 3.25 rods
  24. And a multi one or avant will lift over double for the same size machine won't damage grass and lift higher !
  25. I would try Poncirus trifoliata stock proof deer proof curved thorns sharper than needles
