I have looked at Avant. They are made in Finland. It looks like they are around $40,000 new. There are two used ones locally for just over $20,000, but neither seller is including a bucket or forks. At least one of the sellers is getting a new Avant and stepping up to a larger unit so they are keeping the attachments.
Cast is a small loader made in Italy that is similar to Avant, but Cast articulates differently than most articulated loaders. I have no idea how that affects the operations of the machine.
