Avant 400 series loaders are real narrow access specialists and the smallest diesel model in the range. In spite of the small size and low weight of the 400 series, the lifting capacity of the loader is noteworthy with over 1200 lb handled with ease. The loader’s turning radius is less than two meters which means the loader turns almost on the spot. Total machine width can be as narrow as 36.5 in. The Avant telescopic boom is available for 400 series as well and with it, the lifting height is as high as 9.02 ft. Avant 400 series compact dimensions and easy maneuverability make it extremely versatile for many different purposes, be it groundcare, agriculture, landscaping, earthmoving, lifting and handling, etc. The machine has enough kick which guarantees the most efficient year-round work. 400 series power is sufficient for most Avant attachments.
Avant general buckets are designed with the operator in mind. Without leaving the seat, the operator can see the front edge of the bucket. The sides of the general buckets flare out for complete emptying of all kinds of material. Also, there are no reinforcement plates inside the bucket to that would interfere with loading or emptying. To further enhance the operator’s visibility, there are narrow slots at the upper end of the bucket to allow the operator to see into the bucket and prevent spillage back towards the loader. Available with straight edge and with teeth.
The S30 cutting bar mounts on the side arms with the S30 quick-attach system (both on the mechanical & hydraulic side arm). It cannot be mounted on the attachment coupling plate of the loader. S30 cutting bar is equipped with the same cutting blades and blade guides as the A35676 Cutting bar. The frame and actuator mechanism are however stronger, which means the S30 cutting bar is optimized for hedge cutting and doesn’t work too well with hay because of the higher frame. There are wear plates at each end of the cutting bar, useful when working on paved and asphalt surfaces for instance.
Powerful hydraulic auger with many different auger diameters to suit various tasks, be it post hole boring, tree transplanting etc. Standard drive unit has hydraulic motor and direct drive to the auger.

Replaceable tungsten teeth and pilot head are a standard feature in the auger drills. This enables drilling in hard ground as well as in sandstone. Combination of an articulated Avant and auger offer excellent visibility and minimum ground damage
