Avant R-Series: New model with front Steering - May 2013
A new model series, where the driver is seated on the backframe instead of usual Avant concept where driver is seated on the front frame.
The R-series is heavily based on the current Avant 500 and 600-series loaders, allowing the use of same filters, many spare parts and options as on their sibling models.
The corresponding models for R-series goes as follows: R28 = Avant 528
R35 = Avant 635
This means that the engine power, hydraulic system, options listing and many other things are same as on their sibling models.
Now we have a model to offer for a customer who is used to drive his machines from the back frame.
Regular Avant design
Driver is sitting closer to the attachment – Better visibility
More tipping load when the machine is articulated
Machine is lower – R series is 10 cm higher than
regular Avant design
Can use all Avant attachments
All Cab options (L, LX and DLX) available
The R series
Easier to reverse
Easier to learn driving if driver is used to rear
seated machine
More agile to turn in corridors
Cannot use all Avant attachments, ie Backhoes
Avant R-series
Shorter machine – Avant R-series is normally approx half
a meter shorter than similar horse power competitor
Telescopic boom – Almost none of the competitors have
a telescopic boom available
Better visibility – Driver sits a lot closer to the
attachment and machine is a lot more compact, allowing
for a better visibility
Better stability – Rigid articulation joint as on regular
Avant design as well.
Lighter machine – Easier to transport

Timber trailer with a loader unit
Avant’s timber trailer with a loader unit is an easy
to use and effective way to transport logs from the
forest to roadside or yard. The trailer is coupled to
Avant’s normal trailer coupling and the loader unit
is connected to rear auxiliary hydraulics. Simple
connecting means the system is easy to connect and
disconnect from Avant.
The timber trailer can be equipped with hydraulic
4wd which is operated with hydraulic traction roller
feed. This improves off-road capabilities drastically,
which is often important when driving in forest. The
feed and it’s direction is controlled with an electric
toggle switch on Avant’s dashboard.
The timber loader can be equipped with a remote
controlled winch, which reduces the need to move
the loader/trailer unit in the forest. Thanks to the
remote controll unit it is also easy to use with only
one operator.
• For active do it yourself forestry work or small scale
entrepreneurs
• Similar, durable and powerfull construction as on
the bigger timber trailers
• Powerfull loader which can be equipped with a
winch
• The trailer can be equipped with a 4wd system,
giving the combination excellent off-road capabilities

Backhoe 260
Backhoe 260 is a completely new backhoe model
from Avant and it replaces the old backhoe of
220/250 series. The new model has many features
that are improved against the old model. The changes
are explained in more detail below.
Boom slewing is now executed with two separate
cylinders as opposed to a single cylinder and chain
drive in the old model. The new system has less free
play when slewing the boom and has less need for
servicing. The slewing angle is 170 degrees.
Support legs are hydraulically adjustable. The driver
can easily adjust the support legs directly from the
control valve of the backhoe. This way the best
possible support can be easily set up and found every
time.
Auxiliary hydraulics as standard. The standard feature
hydaulics can be used to operate hydraulic quick
release, slewing bucket or even a rototilt.
A slewing adapter will be available. This adapter
makes it possible to attach all available buckets
into the adapter making the slewing function more
versatile.
Bucket quick release (manual model) as standard. For
fast and easy bucket changes.
Ease of operation and especially mounting is further
developped. Movement speeds are optimized for
Avant 600 and 700 series machines making digging
easier. Mounting the backhoe is now a lot easier with
tiltable valve bank and new locking mechanism on the
boom.

Snow blade
Avant snow blade is designed for fast snow clearing
in large areas. The snow blade is especially good in
clearing road areas from snow, because the snow is
thrown further away in a single pass.
The form of the snow blade is designed so that snow
picks up against the back wall of the snow blade
creating a twirl on the snow. When the snow is in
motion it moves easier to the side of the snow blade
creating less force that moves the machine sideways
and the snow is also thrown further away. The plastic
middle part makes the blade light and allows snow to
glide easier to the side of the blade also in part making
it fly further away.
Main advantages:
• Fast way to clear snow from large areas and roads
• Throws snow further away in a single pass than a
regular dozer blade
• Creates less sideways force, so the front of the
loader will not move so easily to the side.

Flipper bucket
The flipper bucket is designed for clearing snow
in large areas or in areas where snow must be
moved long distances. Because of the indipendently
controllable flippers the bucket is exteremely versatile
in snow clearing and fits into smaller areas as well
without problems.
With the flipper bucket you can push a very large
quantity of snow in one push. Because the wings fold
out from the sides slightly forward it enables you to
push 2-3 times the capacity of the bucket in between
the wings. Both wings can be operated indipendently
making the bucket easy to control in small or tight
areas.

shift a load on the forks closer to a wall for example.
All operations can be operated from the drivers seat.
Pallet forks with side shift come as standard with a
foldable support stand on the rear of the pallet forks
which makes it possible to lean high loads against
the support and also protect the driver from falling
objects.

Attachment control switch pack A34700
The attachment control switch pack is available for
deliveries at the end of August 2010.
All attachment that require electric controll will be
transformed so, that they can be used with A34700
during August 2010. This means that there will
be a plug in the middle of the wire harness of the
attachment. This plug can be used with A34700 or
with the standard operating switch that follows with
the attachment (the same control switch as it has
been untill now).
The A34700 Attahcment controll switch pack is
not a mandatory option for the attachment that is
electrically controlled, but it is strongly recommended
because of the added comfort. All attachments
will remain usable even if this option is not on the
machine. This however may change later, if there are
more complicated operations in the attachments.
Hydraulic quick attachment plate
The hydraulic quick attachment plate has currently a
new design. The new design is mainly improved by an
electrically operated hydraulic unit, which is operated
from the cockpit.
This system allows the driver to use the quick
attachment plate completely independently from the
attachment hydraulics. The electrohydraulic unit also
enables the use of the quick attach plate with only the
power switched on.
The redesigned system will be available at the
beginning of November 2010, when it will replace the
old system with the manual valve.
Product code for the new hydraulic quick attachment
plate is A34956
Avant Screening bucket
The new Avant screening bucket separates different
sized soil materials effectively with the help of it’s
unique construction. The purpose of the screening
bucket is indeed to separate the larger and smaller
particles from the soil and not crush the larger
material into smaller particles.
Top soil making for landscaping, nurseries and
wholesale is the principal use for Avant screening
buckets. Advantage of screening bucket is, that no
sharp particles are crushed into the material, making
it safe to use in garden and park areas.
Avant screening buckets also make it possible to
alter the top soil composition for different uses.
You are able to mix peat, sand, silt, clay or moraine
into the top soil to make the soil composition right
for different purposes (i.e. a green house has very
different requirements for top soil than a sport field).
Back fillings (padding) of pipes, cables and tanks are
also an ideal place to use a screening bucket. You are
able to screen the fine material on top of the pipes
or tanks to protect them and there is no need to
transport finer material to the work sites separately.
In the demolition and construction site you can
separate different size of construction and demolition
waste making it easier to recycle them.
Most important arguments:
• Multifunctionality. Landscapers are able to
make top soil directly on the work site with the
same machine they are using to do the rest of the
landscaping.
• Cost and time saving. No need to transport ready
screened top soil onto the work site.
• Heavy duty construction. Designed for
professional screening work.
