This is one cool little machine! Avant 528

[@danmcburney3247]

Yes sir those type machine's are the Absolute Bomb for tree work... I've rented the bobcat a few time's and loved it !! You can run in a tiny back yard all day and never tear up anything !! Avant makes many size machine's and way bigger but pricey 😀

[@smithworx1091]

Yeah these tire machines are way better for yard work. I'd like to have one of these for the sawmill and around the farm.

[@tristardiggin]

I don't like the manual excavator either. That machine was pretty cool to see...

[@smithworx1091]

It didn't fit my hands too great. Hydraulic pump was burnt out!

[@jimmytew9468]

Enjoyed the video. My hands don't work when it comes to the manual equipment. I had to chop cotton and walk the levees in the rice fields with a shovel from the age of 12 to 16. We worked 12 hours a day 6 days a week. Got paid $1.75 an hour.

[@smithworx1091]

I bet that kind of work made you appreciate hydraulics lol.

[@anthonyholmes71]

The landscape company I worked for had one of these Avants brought out for a demonstration.

[@lovejcdc]

Cool video man, I really think you outa trade in that tired ol manual excavator for a newer younger model LMBO All jokes aside that was way cool to see that type of equipment in action. I've seen those avant machines before and they are awesome.

[@smithworx1091]

Lol I agree. As you can see, I didn't run it long. That avant is pretty sweet. I wish I could've got more footage of it working

[@anthonyholmes71]

There is a bigger Avant machine like this, the one we had for demonstration was a 800 something.

[@smithworx1091]

Oh wow. I bet that was a hoss!

[@anthonyholmes71]

@Smith Worx Ir was, lifting capital is 1.9 tons.

[@stuartandrews4344]

Great loaders Avant, used their larger 760i a few times.

[@smithworx1091]

I would like to have a bigger one for around the sawmill. It's amazing how much weight they can pick up vs how much they weigh

[@stuartandrews4344]

@@smithworx1091 It's pretty impressive, being able to lift upto 1500kg (3306 lbs),but that articulated steering scared the hell out of me to start with,got myself in a few weird angles experiences with a loaded bucket, any other loader most likely would have tipped over.

[@smithworx1091]

@@stuartandrews4344 yeah I hear they're nearly impossible to tip over. I thought he was crazy for getting rid of his skid steer and getting this thing. But it's half the weight and nearly lifts the same lol

[@stuartandrews4344]

@@smithworx1091 Like JCB,Avant has safer side entry,I still have the scar above my eye which I got slipping when climbing into a skid steer.

Like an episode of Beverly hillbillies

Great video!

[@smithworx1091]

Appreciate you! 🙏

[@deeper4cheaper128]

Nice one, I have to admit I got a little bored with the chipping but I stuck around for the mini loader stuff. That is a cool little rig for sure. Nice that it has a Kubota, just like the 306, a yellow Catbota! Do you know if CAT manufacturers the engine in the 313 or is it also a re-brand?

[@smithworx1091]

I knew the chipper footage would be boring lol. Yeah I like Kubota engines. The 313 has a "cat" engine. But I'm sure it's a Kubota or yanmar.

You and Rookie would make for some fun videos 👌🏼

Manual excavator 🤣 😂

[@smithworx1091]

It didn't fit my hands too well! 🤣

[@anthonyholmes71]

@Smith Worx I know that's right. Like you said in one of your videos, one person with a machine can get so much done. I start with a new company Monday and I'll be watching your videos for tips.

[@smithworx1091]

@Anthony Holmes 71 thanks brother. Good luck with the new job! 👍
