Versatility combined with economical features

                                                      Avant 500 series is a good choice when a versatile and

                                                                 economical machine is required but not all the features of

                                                                 600 series are necessary.

                                                                 Especially the lifting capabilities of 500 series are excellent:

                                                                 lift height and outreach are practically as good as on 600

                                                                 series, and lift capacity with extra counterweights is about

                                                                 1000 kg (Avant 528).

                                                                 Although auxiliary hydraulics

                                                                 oil flow is lower than the

                                                                 ones in 600 and 700 series,

                                                                 it is still sufficient for

                                                                 multitude of jobs.

                                                                 For example the 1200 mm

                                                                 lawn mower, rotary hoes

                                                                 and backhoe 210 work well

                                                                 with 500 series machines.

                                                                 Hydraulic oil coolers are standard on Avant 528 and Avant 520

                                                                 – this guarantees efficient oil cooling in situations where

                                                                 auxiliary hydraulics are used with full capacity for a longer

                                                                 period of time.

                                                                 Thanks to the articulated design Avant 500 series machines

                                                                 are very versatile tools.

                                                      They are perfect machines for instance:

                                                      - On farms where they benefit from the wide attachment range

                                                      developed for farming.
                                                      - Demanding Do-It-Yourself work
                                                      - landscaping

                                                      It is very easy to learn to drive an articulated Avant. This means

                                                                the machine can be operated by several persons after a

                                                                basic training.
