Avant / Multione Wheeled Loaders

[doobin]

I had a compact hire business and had various Multiones I was even a sales against personally if I where to do it again I would buy a Cast. Much better made no plastic panels and uk dealer network. Wish I had never got involved with MultiOne

All the old 'sub dealers' complain that they were treated like s**t, and they probably were. However after speaking to multiple users they appear to be well made machines. The Cast salesman was full of bull which put me off straight away.

That's much less than the tracked loaders

Really? Which ones?

It's expensive, but versatile. I've gone for forks, 4 in 1, silage type grab and a levelling beam to start off. Plus a tilt hitch. Around 36k total.

The ditch witch 1550 is £36,000+
And the cormidi I think £32,000 +
Both quote 1200kg tipping.
I like the compactness of the tracked ones but it looks like you pay a premium for it.

28.5k is a good price.

Sub dealers were ALL treated like shite that I can assure you... no integrity, full off s**t and pulled some nasty moves!

The machines are great machines, that is for sure..

I’m paying less than that for a multione 8.4 with better spec.

That sounds a very good price. A lot of machine for the money. Loads more attachments to play with.

Delivered to site and straight to work. I like it but needs a cup holder!

Looks great. I'm sure you will be pleased with it. May not do huge hours, but what it does do will save a lot of time and hassle.
I would really consider getting a spare set of wheels with low ground pressure turf tyres. If you have to go across grass and it is damp those tyres will do what they are designed to do, dig in to grip. Turf tyres just roll across the top. Makes a huge difference to the amount of damage done and reinstatement.

unladen weight 4800kg. Not much good on a plant trailer.

That’s a telehandler. This is a transportable mini loader/tool carrier. There’s a huge difference. For me, a telehandler's capacity and reach is not needed. What I do need is offroad capability, able to transport on a trailer, able to carry a ton comfortably and a good flow rate for things like a pecker. You'd never put a pecker on a telehandler would you? Not what it was built for.

I tried the 4 in 1 bucket out- that's gonna take me some practice!

Those small handlers are utter dogshit in the rough too.... low ground clearance and very high PSI..... Baby wheel loaders are mint.

The little telehandlers have become common on the agri side as loader tractors have grown too big (at least most seem to want to buy one too big) that's the big market for them but don't be fooled they are still a yard machine. Tbh all telehandlers need good going for to the weight.

They are the stockmans friend.... until they fall off the firm and then they become me and my winches friend......
