The new lawn mower 1200 is a robust and efficient mower deck. It is equipped with the OptifloatTM floating system, developed by Avant, which guarantees optimal touch with the ground also on uneven lawns. The mower is also equipped with a safety valve which stops the blades when the mower is lifted off the ground. The deck of the new model is made of stamped steel. This makes mowing more efficient and the grass clippings don’t get stuck on the deck so easily.
Avant mini digger is an efficient solution for small digging operations where maximum digging depth of 47.2 in or 59.1 in is enough. It mounts directly on the quick attach plate of the loader and is operated with the auxiliary hydraulics control lever. Dumping to the side happens by turning the steering wheel of the Avant. Mini digger 150 is equipped with the S30 bucket quick attach system (same as on backhoe 260), which makes changing of bucket fast and easy and the bucket can also be mounted pointing forward if necessary. Bucket tilt adapter for mini digger 150 is available as an option.
Flail mower is a drum-type cutter, intended for cutting of long grass, lade configuration scrub, bush and similar vegetation. It will cut up to 0.8 in thick tree branches with ease. The blades on the flail mower shaft move freely, so in case they hit a solid obstacle they will give in rather than break. This saves the blades costs when cutting in an unfamiliar place. Flail mower is the optimal cutting device for places where you need a lot of cutting power and a rougher cut will do. The most common grounds for flail mowers are places with taller vegetation like meadows, road banks, yard areas etc.
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.
The 500 series is in the middle of Avant loader range in terms of size and performance. The 500 series loaders are well suited for a wide range of customer segments thanks to their power and straight forward hydraulics which is needed in many jobs. The compact dimensions and good maneuverability allow working in a large variety of environments. 500 series can also lift amazingly heavy loads compared to the size of the machine.
