May just buy the avant log grabber since the dealer is local. Anyone have experience with this

Buying what's convenient instead of what will work best? Why yes, I do have some sad experience with that.

You can buy branch manager attachments on treestuff.com and get free shipping plus really good coupons sometimes. I just ordered the branch manager clam shells with a 15% off coupon.

Looks nice! What wheel motors does it have? What is the max travel speed?

Anyone familiar with "Ryan's" grapple attachments? This is what we run on our avant... worked like a champ so far, bollard included, pretty beefy, 360 degree continuous, hydraulic rotation.. Strong enough to twist long heavy limbs/logs.. I stand nothing to gain by plugging Ryan's, just putting other options out there.

Invented by a Arborist dave norguard that's why it rocks no rotation needed

Navigating through a cemetery, avoiding monuments( especially marble) is why we opted for the rotation option... been really helpful.
Agree, not always necessary, at times, absolutely necessary.
