Not sure if prices you quoted where plus vat but this is similar, possibly slightly less lift than a 755 and no telescopic boom. But boom mounting means range of movement not much less


And telescopic version with more lift

just to muddy the waters, with prices like that is it worth looking at the mini telehandlers.
Also seeing as you have the lorry there are some other options that might work out better on a second hand machine. You wouldn't be able to take the mini as well. But Kramer, Schafer, wiedermann and even jcb do machines a touch to heavy to tow. Although the same dimensions as multi one/avant And therefore second hand values seem less.

I have but they are wider and when I've driven them previously feel abit more of a lump compared to what my feel of the avant was so far.

Compactness is key point of my search.

Also I like the idea of it been a multi tool too. It would also be usable where I'd normally use the dumper too.

I know I've gone off at a tangent, as I've said lots of things to think about/compare ect ect

We use ours as a dumper too, takes a bit longer but not a 1 trick pony like a dumper

When you say multi tool do you mean bucket/grab or do you mean flail as well ? Obviously the advantage of the compact loaders over German machines is increased lift and massively increased hydraulic flow.
The German machines are heavier but at the end of the day this is extra metal going into the product.

Sort of. As an example I can't see any of the compact telehandlers been any good at pushing stone out. Where as I can see the avant/multione been able to do and get some finesse. Especially if a 4in1 was added.

They will do it but they aren't a mini loading shovel. Something about the geometry means they don't dig in very well and they don't have the break out force you would expect. Also as they are so light they spin out. the axles being fixed doesn't help when trying to make stuff level as they rock and make pallet work difficult. I don't know about multi one but the avant is very difficult to tip little piles with. Although this could be done with a 4 in one better. I understand why people praise them but every time I've driven one I just found it a compromise machine. They are trying to get huge lift capacity's and hydraulic outputs from a towable machine. So they naturally make sacrifices. It depends whether those sacrifices matter to you.

All feedback is welcome.

It probably would be some sort of compromise machine I am looking for...which one, I don't know yet. Lol.

So...multione to avant, what's the differences?

If I've got a new avant, I've a dealer 15mins away, who are top notch in my experience with things. Who's the multione people locally to South Yorkshire?
