No, if it can't lift a bulk bag and comfortabley transport it then I'd not be interested as it defeats the exact reason for me getting one.

So probably looking for something rated at 1.5t or above?
Mine is 1470kg from memory (with full back weights)

Easiest thing to do is go to look at it with a full bulk bag on the back of your truck, that’s what I did. They always come with pallet forks.

Reality is avants and multi ones are nice compact ish machines but they’re 30-50k

Can’t leave them anywhere as they’re stolen like hot cakes

If you’re after something cheap and still moveable I’d go with like an ausa c11m or a Moffat which can just fit on a 7’ trailer

I’m not surprised they are appearing on flebay. There were loads of them at Euro’s last sale. I’ve often seen an item at Euro and then seen it appear on eBay a week or two later with a 50% mark up.

I'm looking at an avant 640 over the weekend.

I've never had anything to do with them, so it's all new to me but if I don't look/try I'll not find out.

By all accounts the person I'm going to see hires them out, so hopefully I'll get decent info about them too.

As I said if I don't try I won't know. Got to start somewhere in the search. I can't totally dismiss anything without physically trying it myself and the fella in question is happy for me to do so and I've been honest about what I need from a machine for the jobs lined up.

At least I'll have a feel for it and know what to expect later on when looking at others....currently I've no experience of them bar the question I'd asked here
