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).

Alltough 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 cooler is standard on Avant 500 series – this quarantees 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
- Smaller scale 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.
