AVANT ARTICULATING LOADERS!

[@grantsinclair4278]

I got spoiled when my son brought a Kubota mini x with hyd. thumb, and left it for a couple of months. 40in rounds were a breeze to handle. Now it's back to the Cant hook and picaroon. 😮

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, good equipment is nice for sure!

[@lifeontherez]

Finally back to being able to watch KZbin after a few weeks of being busy, that's an awesome machine, Chris! Be good for any other small logging jobs and for loading the processor

[@InTheWoodyard]

Welcome back! Yup, they are nice!

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Nice product introduction 👍 I'm not in the tree service industry, but I can see several different uses for this type of machine other than tree service.

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Wonder if Eastonmade's new mini skid wood splitter would be compatible 🤔

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks 👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Maybe so???

[@BeavertonFamilyFirewood]

Chris, we can't wait to see one InTheWoodyard!!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

That would be awesome!

[@briannelson4493]

Nice machine Chris will we see one in action in the wood yard. The suspense builds. Keep on cutting

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes it is a nice machine...maybe some day??

[@roncaron-l1r]

Good morning Chris nice Loaders like it good video ( Ty Ron I work one in my wood yard big one it is very good and fast

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks 👍

[@otif2044]

I’ve been drooling over an avant for a long time too. Kinda amazing you have a dealer right in town. One thing he didn’t mention that I’ve heard a lot of guys say is that those turf type tires are really good in snow apparently. Crossing my fingers for a demo for you!

[@InTheWoodyard]

I would like to give it a try...??

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Nice machine, Chris. My tree service friend has 2 of these already, and i can see how they are super handy in backyards 😉👍

[@benjaminmiller6848]

I would go with the bobcat brand min load

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, nice machines!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Do you have one??

[@davidedwards3734]

Nice machine!! Hope to see one In the Woodyard soon!!!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@InTheWoodyard]

I hope so too!

[@annmariekowalski7505]

I aw this machine used at a job site. They were using the smaller version. They could grab the end of a large adh tree branch and feed the entire limb into a chipper.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Nice!

[@danshouseofsmokeandoutdoor7119]

Them are some nice little loaders. When we going to see one on the wood yard ? Keep up the good work.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, they are nice!

[@savagefirewood]

Good morning Chris, I can vision one of these articulating loaders in your wood yard soon. Cheers !

[@InTheWoodyard]

That would be cool!

[@m9ovich785]

Thanks Chris. I wouldn't mind taking one of the lifts for a ride, The Blue one looks like it could get up there. HAHAHAH

[@InTheWoodyard]

That would be cool!

[@BGWenterprises]

One question i would have asked. Is there a option for operator controled locking differentials. So you have wheel power to all 4 corners. With no open differentials. Also. Im thinking of the live log deck height, the smaller machines could struggle putting heavier logs up. . Just my 0.01c I see it more as a tool for getting logs in the trailer where there coming from. Then loading the processor.

[@InTheWoodyard]

That is a good question, I do not know!

[@billobermeyer660]

You really want one, any other machines that may come first?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Maybe ???

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Those are really cool! Bit pricy unless you are a big time arborist. Not for a hobbyist. Cant wait to see one in your woodyard👍🏻👍🏻GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

You and me both!

[@iffykidmn8170]

There are firewood hobbyist channels with tractors, skidloaders and mini excavators I cannot quite figure out how they pay for them with firewood.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

@@iffykidmn8170 Definitely makes things easier but not justifiable for me either at this point.

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

It's not justifiable for me either. I do see how they can be handy and save the body. Equipment is cheaper to wear out and brake than the body 😉👍

[@coreyriley7160]

G’morning Chris !! Lots of sweetness. One of my tree service Dropper-Offers has an Avant with grapple. He said it paid for itself in 1 year ! GoodNightIrene

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good morning! Yup articulating loaders are nice!

[@haroldanderson2781]

Did you put one of those in your dump trailer and deliver it to the wood yard?

[@InTheWoodyard]

No, not yet!

Yup.

Chris you need two one for you and one for Bert 😮😊❤

[@InTheWoodyard]

Can Adam have one too??

[@allupinski6339]

Mighty Machines is a channel you might want to take a peek at. The sheer size of some is jaw dropping.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@amandadavis9726]

Too bad they don’t make them for big and tall people.😢 I went to my local dealer to look at, and sit in them. I couldn’t even get a leg in because of the lack of space 😂!!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

I did not try it but yes I suppose if you are tall...it matters!

[@amandadavis9726]

@@InTheWoodyard try and sit in it the next time you’re around one. I’m 6’6” and over 300 lbs. I was bummed, because I was ready to write a check if the fit was fine. The salesman offered a big skid steer,…but that’s not what I was interested in.

[@antiochman8222]

Sweet! That lad did well covering the features, although I imagine he will pay a few forfeits at the bar for not knowing the address offhand. 😁

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, he knows his stuff, they have several locations so I can understand the address thing.

[@waynetharp]

Years ago the biggest part of my 1st trip to PB show was spend looking at the Avent booth. I had never seen one but see them on tree crews all the time now. You are basically replacing 1 or 2 men on a crew with the purchase of one of these and wouldn't have to buy sticks of gum anymore!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, just think of the money I could save not buying gum all the time!

[@waynetharp]

@@InTheWoodyard Exactly!! 🤑🤑

[@ChrisLascari]

Neat machines

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@heykevwhatyouup2]

I think the mecalac looks better has an enclosed cab maybe they could loan you one to test if you like it 🤔

[@InTheWoodyard]

Maybe so?

[@annmariekowalski7505]

Good Morning Wonder what a logger from the late 1800s wouldd say about all the modern marvels. 100 years from now, loggers will say how could they get anything done. Thanks for takingg us along. Green would look nice even if you put pink tape on it.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup ask we get more innovative and lazy, there will be a day machines do everything for us. Then we can all just play.

[@michaelmullins1290]

Nice product. Maybe Bert will buy you one.

[@InTheWoodyard]

He should!

[@larryvankirk7423]

nice video Chris. The Finns make some nice stuff (Rapala,Sako,Tika,etc.) GNI

You got that right!

[@leonardryan8723]

Chris cute little equipments, in the background see Altex trucks got well over 35 yrs running them in my lineman trade . Hydraulic saw on the truck for around high voltage. You should see the big equipments in building transmission line off road blow you away in size 😊. Now I’m retirement from IBEW as high voltage lineman . helicopters 🚁 is way to go working on over 700,000 up 🆙 in million voltage line . Remember THINK 🤔 SAFETY and always put SAFETY FIRST you get to come home 🏠 to your family’s. ALL MY BEST TO THE BROTHER & SISTER NOW IN THE IBEW . TAKE CARE see you on the other side one ☝️ day GOD BLESS ! 😢

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Personally I'd go with a rear mounted cab mini articulated loader. That way the rear section can oscillate relative to the front section, keeping all four wheels on the ground as much as possible. Personally I think it would be disorientinf to have the cab mounted to, and swing with, the front axle.

[@iffykidmn8170]

All valid points, having run both I prefer front mount for visibility of the working end. best would be renting or demoing one of each before purchase.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

@@iffykidmn8170 good call. Demo run of the machines is best. But man oh man, the price!!!!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

ok.

[@iffykidmn8170]

@@thefirewooddoctor Yessir and the prices keep going up. If I was spending Chris's money I would probably go the 7 series with the longer reach for loading the processor.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

@iffykidmn8170 Chris would've spent a million dollars on equipment if he got everything people said he needs to buy.
