Avant 500 Multi-Position Sidearm Flail

Unique Multi-Position Arm
The Avant 500 has specially designed arm geometry which allows the flail head to work in a variety of positions:

  • in a forward position for improved operator visibility
  • behind the tractor
  • across the full width of the tractor including the offside rear wheel

The lack of a conventional ‘king post’ means the main frame does not cover the full width of the tractor, allowing the head to cut a vertical hedge face on the same line as the outside of the tractor wheel.

KS500Narrow lane capability
 The Avant 500 can mow narrow verges without forcing the tractor out into the opposite lane as the head can tuck in behind the tractor wheel.

  • Ryetec blue or high visibility yellow paint finish

Strong, reliable and flexible
The Avant 500 benefits from a very strong and well engineered chassis combined with robust arms for a trouble free working life. Several features are designed to reduce potential down time and costly repairs, eg. side by side hydraulic pumps for easy replacement and standard off the shelf parts can be used to keep the Avant working for longer, as the pump does not have to be matched to the opposite pump’s special connection drives. All arm pivot pins are greasable and bushed. When not in use, the Avant 500’s forklift tine brackets mean it can be moved easily without a tractor, allowing it to be moved and stored undercover.
