    Why do you ask ?

    I'm fairly sure it won't be a 10, Maybe a 6 or 7 with muck grab, bucket, forks & tornado mower if we're lucky, Every one thinks selling is easy but there is a fair bit of luck involved along side the work

    5.2 on 29-850-12 is about 39" & the 5.3 on 23-10.50-12 is about 43", other wheel sizes & wheel track widths would be special order.

    When I left school I did the same as everyone else " worked hard for not a lot in return " ( we still have a few days like that now if we think about it ), I worked for a company fabricating steel framed buildings & we also made be-spoke farm machinery , after 10 years of this madness, We started out own business in 1989 ( a few hard years & then no looking back ) I have always enjoyed fabrication & making things work from a scetch & still get the urge now & again , This is where the saw bench idea come from last Christmas, Thank you for your kind comments.

    We tried a 4 way wedge to start with & we were cutting " match sticks " We had an old axe head in the workshop so we thought about it & " why not " / it also has a fly of hydraulic lever control so you could say she is semi-automatic. No video yet, we just need to beef the axe end up & adjust the angle of the axe ( a 7 or 8" log some times rides up the axe as it splits ) , the saw blade is cheap ( none tipped ) that's fine for testing , once working it will have a nice new tungsten blade as a finishing touch , Glad you liked it if your been serious.

    Some of the newer Avants have an extra valve slice on the valve block to run rear end hydraulics, with the ports blanked off & the lever removed, So if that is the case with your one its just a case of some hoses & a lever & your in business, The older machines may not have this spare valve but without checking you should not rule it out, To get a rotator running quickly & cheaply you could put some quick release hydraulic fittings on the tele-boom hoses where they connect to the telescopic boom cylinder, set the tele-boom to the desired length stop the machine un-couple the hoses & use these to power a rotator, if you get my drift.

    Yes there is a 9 series here on the yard, If you coming for a look please contact us to make an appointment.

    Got fed up with chainsaw & axe last Christmas so we started to build this on Boxing day, By Easter we were testing it for the 1st time, We have just about got is sussed now, we just need to get a better angle on the axe head , & get the splitting end beef'ed up, Then we'er in business, Works very well on timber up to 6 or 7" dia

    Sorry about that, we are machinery dealers & can't stop trying to sell, I have been building my own simple log processor over the last 6 months, I will get some photos of that over the weekend & share them with you guys.
  17. digaholedumper
    With the risk of taking this thread back 6 or 7 posts, I come across this photo earlier today & decided to share it, we had an open day back in the summer & this was one of the displays we had for customers to see ! Everything is standard with no tricks or props ect, its a 9 series Multione ( with rear weights ) lifting a 7 series Multione with over-size tyres & wheels, When you take the load centres, the weight of the pallet & the weight of the forks into consideration , You have to agree it is a all impressive sight . The 9 series machine was just about on the limit & common-sense told you not to lift any higher, ( Please share your thoughts on how an insurance claim might read if it had all gone wrong )

    Oil out & oil back in or reversed if you use the lever the other way, the 3rd pipe is normally the motor bleed return, You can run the grab with the 2 you use but if your using a hydraulic rotator on the grab you will need to use a electric splitter valve or add an extra service to power it.

    " With Back weights fitted "
  20. digaholedumper
    Multione loader lifting a 1200kg concrete weight with boom fully extended, & still had more to give if needed

    Very nice , saves a fair bit of labour & also saves dressing with the saw so has a health & safety benefit at the same time,
  22. digaholedumper
    From the testing we had done the tornado sounds just the ticket, the volume of grass is not going to be any less or any more when looking a different make mowers / collector's & there is limited choice. It is very effective in how it works & the job it dose, We would strongly recommend you give this unit a look & chance, I have been working around machinery for the last 40 - 45 years & know what works when I see it & this really dose do the business as a mower collector.
  23. digaholedumper
    Not a bad job, You don't just have to be good with a saw , nice to see thanks.
  24. digaholedumper
    The Multione mower dose have 3 blades but in sequence so they don't require any less or any more oil, I have experience of the Avant mower collector, I don't see it working well, a 420 may struggle with the weight & size & then there is the question of oil flow. Where are you based ?
  25. digaholedumper
    It holds enough grass, you have the weight of the mower + grass that might be wet, it is just right for a mid sized machine, not sure on a demo winter is coming we may struggle to find enough grass, If your in the Powys or Shropshire area we are happy to arrange a demo, otherwise contact Steve Hadfield at MultiOne to find your nearest dealer.
