Avant 755i, thoughts on hiring out

[6feetdown]

Don't know the price but I think all posi tracks are high flow, this is the biggest towable one I think
But they do some really little ones

Or I know no one really wants to operate standing up but would the biggest ditch witch be nearing what you want??
800kg operating capacity and over 2t tipping capacity so not quite as good as an avant but getting there.

Bobcat do a towable 1 but no high flow, I've enquired about a gehl and manitou 1350 same machine different letters but no reply or answer to my questions which is pretty poor, makes you wonder what their after sales service would be like!

You don’t see them much in the uk. What sort of work are you looking at?

I’ll quantify this by saying I’ve not used my multione much in the wet, but it would take a lot to sway me from the fast travel speeds, smooth ride, telescopic boom and most importantly, no mess at all on grass.

A mixture of general works but also with a view to hiring as a self operated piece

It'll get trashed on self drive. If you're looking at self drive then do you really need high flow and all that?

Still out with that at the moment. But if we are going to spend that much if we can get high flow all the better.

Tempted by this but this 528 might be a bit small but handy to jump in and out off, although these jcb 403s look good bits of kit as well

 

[Giles]

Actually the jcb 403 is weak on lift only about 600kg

Shame that looks reasonable bit of kit

What sort of money?

4 in 1 is great, I wouldn’t be without mine.
