Think the jcb is only 760kg lift looked at them before,

I ran bobcat for a bit and visibility wasn’t great on them a lot of guess work and hoping you didn’t hit stuff the avants look better for all rd visibility and have a cult following.

Think the new kind of towable telehandlers will displace some of the avants market dominance.

Anyone run a wiedammn 1280? 1376kg-1760kg with bucket but not telescopic
looks a solid little beast

Yup, it's a good chunk more than the Multione 8.5. There don't seem to be any models between the two brands that are directly comparable- they're all a littel different.

For ultimate lift capacity, this looks incredible. But God only knows the price....


It's towable at 2.4t, but I don't think that includes the extra 600kg(!) of backweights for the max rated lift of 2540kg!
" Unbreakable body panels " give it to Rory for a day .. then see how that claim stands up :ROFLMAO:

Thats what I inquired about at the time i think, but there were none available. Maybe an update as lifting capacity is superb looking at those figures

Nice cold morning, good for log sales. Eight cube going out today.

We are totally spoiled with this setup. View attachment 54119

Snow will be coming ..we know how much you love it 😆
forecast is heavy snow tomorrow afternoon, through 'til Monday lunchtime with high winds :cry::mad: ... and Pam's gone to Plymouth with Vicki and the kids .. back Monday evening ... let's hope the pissy wet rain forecast for Monday afternoon materialises
Doesn't look like the sun is going to burn the fog off here ATM .. 's brass monkeys out there and I had a few bits I wanted to get done whilst I had some peace and quiet ... both cars look like they've been iced like cakes. has usually thawed off them by eleven of a morning - not today :oops::(

Sod the Avant, I’ve got a proper forklift/ loading shovel now 😜
As much as I love my backhoe it's simply too big and cumbersome for most jobs. The Multione or Avant can sneak through into a back garden and round a 90 degree corner carrying a full bulk bag of ballast- there's immense labour savings in things like that. Smaller but quicker repeated cycles are the way forward with loaders IMHO, as I keep saying when people laugh at things like the Sherpa. Minimal mess, the whole job just flows when one man and a machine can move and spread an 8 wheeler of stone in a tight space in half an hour.

Obviously for ten 8 wheelers of stone the backhoe wins every time (or would if I had the required skill!)
