Hi there. I just picked up a lightly used 2020 635. I absolutely love the machine but I’m a rookie. I saw in the book that the Avant adapter plate/hydraulic adapter is not meant for continuous use of non avant attachments. Is this just to try and get you to stick with their stuff or is there any truth to it? I don’t have a business. The machine is for personal use. Kind of my tractor. The attachments are very very expensive and I would love to save some money and get a few aftermarket things.

I think as long as you use their quick attach plate you would be good. I can think of the terminology but there quick connect has a sort of check valve built into that effects how the attachments operate. I have seen plenty of guys use every kind of brand of attachment on these machines with no problems. Just make sure the flow rate matches or exceeds the attachments
