    Giant(Branch manager) vs Avant vs multi one

    Will the 254 lift more than the 420, in the real world?

    Log or Chip Boiler?

    Any links to chip boilers? We have very tough regulations here so not alot of units meet code.

    Tach acting weird

    Terex 750 with about 100 hrs. Everything works fine, tach reads good, autofeed works fine. Only issue is when engine is at idle, tach reads zero. I don't use this chipper, the guys just told me about it today. I know they swapped the throttle switch not long ago, but not sure if it coincides...

    Crawler Lift purchase

    We've ran our 59-30 in colder weather than that, it does take a while for everything to warm up. Usually the guys give up before the machine!

    Mini skid steer shopping

    Why not go with the duals to make it 36 inch possible? Curious why do you find it safer?

    Mini skid steer shopping

    Ya we'd need adapters for our plates and hydro connections, which is a bit of a pain I guess.

    Mini skid steer shopping

    Today I demoed a 1050 and an Avant 420. The 1050 was awesome! Seems like a super robust and powerfull machine, compared to our Vermeer 600. But man, that 420 was fast and did not leave a single trace on a soaked lawn. Plus it only has a 20hp motor! Ahhh choices, choices. Next week I'm...

    Giant(Branch manager) vs Avant vs multi one

    Ya, I didn't spell out my whole situation: Have a Vermeer 600 on wheels that has been paid for a while, that will likely be sold once a decision has been made. Looking to get a little more lifting capacity and speed on a new machine. Also, we have been getting more and more clients that are...

    Giant(Branch manager) vs Avant vs multi one

    Nice, makes sense! Only reason I was thinking that was because I've never seen a non-rectangular plate before. So, why Giant over Avant or Avant over Giant?

    Giant(Branch manager) vs Avant vs multi one

    colb, what machine do you have? Like I said, I haven't seen any of these machines, so I could be totally wrong. But this picture doesn't look like universal plate. http://www.topnotchequipment.com/new_galleria.asp?pov=4826883

    Giant(Branch manager) vs Avant vs multi one

    I haven't seen either machine yet. Why are alot of people saying the Giants are better built? What are their advantages? 36 inch capability? Both machines need to be adapted for universal mounting plates, correct? I also am torn on the plastic issue. What about road salt and rusting for...

    Bandit chipper

    Could be internal, we've had to change ours twice in two years. They aren't too expensive.

    Bandit chipper

    The murphy switch could be making poor contact. Was your pressure good when you were running the machine?

    Giant(Branch manager) vs Avant vs multi one

    Does some sort "soft" traction aid system exist in place of chains? I would worry about dammage to certain surfaces.

    Giant(Branch manager) vs Avant vs multi one

    Can they be installed with duals? I'm guessing a spacer in necessary?

    How do the articulating loaders handle snow? Do you need chains on the tires?
