Designed purpose of use
The AVANT Rotary hoe is an attachment that is suitable for use with AVANT multi purpose loaders that are
shown in Table 1. The attachment is intended to be used for soil cultivating, rotovating, and seed bed finishing
when renewing lawn areas, small fields, or similar.
When using the Rotary hoe, the loader is driven in reverse, so that the loader wheels do not interfere with
newly cultivated soil. A vertical grading rake with strong tines in front of the blades traps stones and debris,
effectively allowing soil to bury them. This gives a finished seeding bed in a single pass. The cultivating depth
of the hydraulically operated Rotary hoe can be adjusted to be 150 mm.
The attachment is equipped with a field roller, which compacts the ground after cultivating. Before compacting,
there is an adjustable dozer blade between the hoe and roller for levelling the soil before the field roller
finalizes it.
The Rotary hoe is intended for typical soft soil material in gardens. It is not intended for grading of, for
example, pathways, or other areas that consist mainly of gravel or rock. The Rotary hoe is not designed for
any other use than what is specified in this manual and must not be used for any other purposes than what is
intended for.
The attachment has been designed to require as little maintenance as possible. The operator can perform
regular maintenance tasks. All repair work can’t be performed by the operator, and demanding repair and
maintenance operations are to be left for professional technicians. All maintenance work must be done using
proper safety equipment. Spare parts must be identical with original specifications, which can be ensured by
using only original spare parts. A separate spare parts catalogue may be available, consult your Avant dealer.
Familiarise yourself with the manual's instructions regarding service and maintenance. Please contact your
AVANT dealer if you have additional questions about the operation or maintenance of the equipment, or if you
require spare parts or maintenance services.

in Table 1. When using with models
marked with (
•
), full performance may not be achieved. Additional counterweights may also be required. For
compatibility with a model not shown in table, contact your Avant dealer.
When using loader models 635, 640, or R35, which are equipped with Stage V Kubota
V1505 engine, full performance may not be achieved with this attachment. These Stage
V models have lower hydraulic output which may affect performance of the attachment.
