What a waste of time. The Avant are the ones I see the most around here. Good luck with it.

Thanks Patrick, I think I deserve a bit of hassle free time machine wise for a while.
Dayum!!! Kudos to you for keeping the chin up.
Crazy track record for the blue machine(s).
Good move snapping up the avant. If the numbers work out like you project, sounds like you'll be in a good place.
Will selling that blue hunk of crap be difficult?

Nothing will piss a guy off like a lemon of a machine.
But sounds like the new machine is promising.

That is the far reaching truth...a lemon machine is a horrid thing.

Hey Mick,
A local buddy of mine has an Avant that he bought over a year ago. Awesome machine and he's had no issues with it at all.

Cheers Brian, that, as they say, is the plan.

This arrived yesterday, it’s an old multione that needs a little bit of welding & tlc. A much needed machine for me at the moment so it’s straight into the workshop today to make a start on it.

Ace, there’s a really good Multione owners club on FB that you should join.

They’re the same, or close enough.
In the US, I’d go Avant for the better dealer network and support.

Similar concepts, not exactly the same, the single boom on the avant is an advantage as you can see better.
As Carl says dealer back up is key, here my back up on the MO was/is pitiful.

My Avant 420 is five years old with no issues. I love that machine!

In the process of moving the hook lift to a new chassis. Moved the axle 66” forward, cut off 12’ of frame. Gotta mount the tag axle, hydraulic tank, tool boxes, hoist, and pintle hitch.
2022 Freightliner M2 106, 350hp DD8, Allison. It’ll have two 4’ tool boxes and an extra 50 gallons of diesel compared to the old chassis.

I'm amazed that you can play with your trucks like that. Here, we can't even make a trailer anymore.
It's an hydraulic arm to load / unload / empty a removable dumpster or a flatbed. So convenient. Put it on the ground, load it with what you want, limbs, chips, firewood, milling logs, machinery... and haul back the whole thing on the truck. You can have two or more dumpsters on site to sort out the products, or make a trip to empty a dumpster while the other is being filled.

Getting it legal (a homemade trailer) to use on the road in France would be very problematic to say the least.

Looks like a good time for me to show off my new carabiner in this thread!
Why is that tho? What's the problem? How to do you guys repair stuff or set up trucks?

It has to have certification and inspection to go on the road.
Much easier just to buy a purpose built one from a manufacturer.
