    Sudden Idling Issues After Cold Weather

    Non-ethanol (sorry, first place to start).

    Avant "Knee"

    This, yes most of the time the leg is in the machine. Lol. Regardless, some pt for knees is probably a good idea. It's something I've neglected to research through the years. Last thing I want is me or someone else tearing something.

    Avant "Knee"

    If I roll that machine I've got bigger problems I hope. It's mostly when you're on it for long stretches. Knees bouncing off the interior.

    Avant "Knee"

    That's good to know. We have a shop day today and we'll work on that. I'll try to get photos too.

    Avant "Knee"

    Avant definitely has its strengths. I really like the machine otherwise. We've had some electrical issues and dinged up plastics but nothing major. I just worry about msd's from overusing that leg.

    Avant "Knee"

    Potentially, that could help. Even a couple of rope holds could be helpful.

    Avant "Knee"

    That's good to know. Intrepid is on my list to check out. I just know bm in Minneapolis carries giant loaders.

    Avant "Knee"

    Ours has a wind screen so grabbing the bar isn't feasible. Yes 755, it is a bit bigger.

    Avant "Knee"

    That's an idea. I'll have to reach out. One of the problems with the avant vs other equipment is that you're on and off a bit. Jump off to rig, jump off to ramp up the chipper, etc. Its also the lack of grab points and angle of the step... Idk. It's odd.

    Avant "Knee"

    Yeah my guys do too. We're all over 6'.

    Avant "Knee"

    I do often actually. Hurts less to have my leg out if I'm only driving it short distances for some reason.

    Avant "Knee"

    The entry and exit for the avant is only on the left.

    Avant "Knee"

    Folks who have run avant... Does your left knee absolutely kill after a day of on and off the machine? I'm beginning to hear complaints from my guys too, all left knee. Wondering if we need to implement some stretching specifically for this.

    What did I miss?

    How'd you like your time in the chair?

    Anyone transition from utility to residential?

    I went private to utility back to private. Utility has its perks. Stable, decent pay, good benefits, generally easy work (no weird specs, clear goals). The wrong private site companies would be doing worse off than utilities, so you'd want to be cautious in your switch. Some skills...
