This ones articulated and doesn't chew up the grass.

But it doesn't have an auto leveller on the bucket at you raise the load.

My son and I both bought one, in the states Gehl has the distribution rights They call it an AL 20DX or the Advantage . I believe there made in Finland. 20hp Kubota diesel, we got turf tires. Same machines KOA has.

 

[allmark]

what kind of lifting capacity do they have?

 

[jim454]

about 1500lbs. w/the counter weight

 

[Jamin_Mayer]

I have been wanting one of those for a looooong time now. I want one!

 

[devil_dog]

I have posted about our loader before. I would recommend the multitrac brand to anyone and you can get smaller ones than ours.

 

[Colin]

That's a NICE looking piece of gear for sure!!!

Anonymous did used to post good videos, maybe he'll be allowed back in here one day in the far off future, maybe?

Dang Devil Dog, that's nice! Hmm... when I google "Mulittec" I can find a used one at Machinerytrader.com I can't find a main web site.

Do you know their web-site address? Where did you buy yours?

 

[devil_dog]

here is a link to the manufacturers website in italy.CSF. They distribute them under different names. Multitrac, Multione, Agrione etc... Ours is listed under A900 in the loader side. http://www.multione.it/ We bought ours from stonebrook equipment in Minneapolis. There was a lot of research done and demos of other equipment before we decided to buy this one. Your right there is not a lot of info out there, but if any treebuzzers would like a demo or more info they can call me or Stonebrook Equip. There is another dealer in Ny and one in Fl (both not as helpful).

Nice machine. How much can it pick up. And just to clarify, does the GD50 compare in size to your machine. Which is better?? I know you demoed the GD50 from a previous post, so just wanted to see how you liked it. Also, anymore in action pics of yours??

 

[Jamin_Mayer]

Yep. I have seen the name Multione. I thought there was some kind of cross over with the names.

Here they are.

[/ QUOTE ]The GT50 is a tool carrier with another set of hydraulic hoses on the front to run two functions at once, like a stump grinder that swings l to r and spinns at the same time. Ours is the loader version with only 1 set of hydraulics in the front like a tractor or some skid steers. Check out the specs on their website but we have lifted about 3000lbs with the rear weights and loaded tires. The GT 50 lifts less.

 

[rangerdanger]

Really?? When I checked the specs they were rated excatly the same.

 

[devil_dog]

http://www.multione.com/html/gt_series_specs.html I was comparing this.

 

[devil_dog]

http://www.agrione.eu/eng/prodSchTecn.php?idp=10 to this. But who knows.

 

[rangerdanger]

Yeah, I was on the second website, comparing the two from there. Any idea what the kg translates into lbs??

 

[Mr_Ed]

1 kg = 2.2 lbs.

Just to confuse (clarify?) things further, Avant used to buy all their machines from CSF in Italy, then they started building their own. CSF sued them for copying the designs, so avant had to redesign their models. The CSF are still the better machine IMO.

There seems to be a bit of confusion here to the whats and where's of Avant. First of all, Avant tecno are the original articulated mini loader they are built in Finland, multione are the copy (or supposed to be), Multione tried to copy but like all other copies just cant cut it. You can see that in the engineering and mechanical capabilities for example Avant 635 only weighs 1300kgs but can pick up 1100kgs at hitch plate, single boom construction for better vision, not to mention the amount of machines sold world wide e.g. 25,000 machines. with that many machines sold world wide, need i say more about whats the better. To see these machines go to www.avantloaders.com.au

Is that the one that Boxer sells now?
