Yea I figured the only thing better than one Avant was a second larger size

FTR I have nothing against Giant, I wanted one before I started on the Multione/Avant road, but there was too much of a delay in production.
My approval of your purchase is mostly based on the premise that it reinforces my decision (a popular sentiment on the internet)
Good luck and congratulations.

What are you upgrading from? Was hot after the idea of a 755 or 860 but I already have a dw1050 and 1550 I'm like do I really want to spend 120k to sit in a cab?? Was thinking a wheeled excavator or mini ex might be more useful for the money or just be happy with what I've got... just my situation and could change my mind back next week!

No being political, but I wonder what the promised tariffs will do to the prices of the Giant (Dutch made) and the Avant (Finnish made)

my loaders are;
Ditch witch sk350
Ditch witch sk755
Avant 528 open rops
Now this 755 acually just caught wind of an 860 that’s attractive so maybe just going for the gusto on that as I’m revamping my trailer setup either way for 7 or 8 series I’ve concluded
Make America Great Again?

Is there an equivalent US made machine?
Multione (Italian made) sell as Vermeer in the US, might prove to be a good move

I'm set up to move my mini skids but would need a new trailer for the avant as well. Kind of why I'm thinking for me it's a lot to spend/adjust for what may not be that useful of a machine for the money. Everyone loves them but we have a good setup for laying mats and I'm just used to it plus we protect the yards. I've rented a 528 for a few months its great but it can definitely damage yards. Plus the minis can bulldoze through the woods and we are pretty often doing that. Plus can feed chipper in a small area/zero turn......... cab will be nice I'm sure

I hear you there’s no silver bullets in the loader department or anny other tool in the game, all have strengths and weaknesses on different work sites. I’m not brand loyal at all just go for what really feels best! Blessed to have options!

Giant over avant all day long. Even if the giant cost double. Just my opinion!
