We have a saying in my neck of the woods. It's not applicable to everyone, and not you, since the Avant is an Avant. "SHOULDA BOUGHTA DEERE!" for real though, that sucks, a company should be happy to stand behind their products.

No, I was "not" arguing with my homie, Kyle. What the heck you talking bout, Rodger? Articulated axles? But not an articulated loader? I wanna see this! Gotta be some interesting engineering going on there. Find us a model number so we can add it to our list of things we want but can't afford!

And this is the discussion the OP was looking for, methinks. Thanks bud! I'll point out that not everyone is near so mechanically inclined as yourself. I'm a gitrdun kinda guy, and that's led to a fairly broad knowledge base, but, but, not everyone has that advantage, and that advantage is...

I agree with that, Kyle, BuuUUUuuuuUuut... Ostensibly, my job is to operate a chainsaw, not a wrench.

@canadianclimber Since this thread derailed hard, ill offer my uneducated opinion. While saving money with a chicom mini skid may seem like a good idea, it can just as easily become a false economy. Sure, you can work on it yourself, but that's time spent not doing tree work. If you're doing...

All of that, and then some. Heavier jacks and jackstands, blah blah blah. You're tracking fine bud. Like many men, I am also a tool whore. I should never be given an excuse to buy tools, especially when I hate my local snap-on guy...

Agreed. A consideration for me was tools. If the machine gets much bigger than what I have, I need bigger tools. That's a snowball poised on the edge of a BIG hill.

Heavy equipment, building bridges... Wait, are minis and subcompact tractors "heavy" equipment?

Kyle, while I'm no expert operator, I agree 100% with everything you said. I've seen operators so good, their skill borders on dark magic. To be fair, ive had the opportunity to witness and work with a number of talented operators on a number of platforms. The number of incredibly cool, oddball...

I spent a few years as a greenskeeper at Pine Meadows Country Club. Marks like that on grass are much more significant than you think they are, and that's just from the thumbnails. Just saying.
