2. Designed purpose of use
The Avant Spring tine cultivator is a towable attachment that is intended for levelling and loosening the
surfaces of horse arenas, and for cultivating smaller fields and similar surfaces. This attachment is compatible
with Avant compact loaders that are shown in Table 1. To operate the attachment, the loader must be
equipped with a rear tow hitch ball. Hydraulic rear outlet is required only, if the attachment is equipped with the
optional hydraulically adjustable wheels (A37547).
With the optional lifting kit A449060 it is possible to mount the cultivator to the quick coupling plate of the
loader boom. The lifting kit also makes it possible to add additional weights on the attachment for areas where
extra weight is needed for better performance of the attachment.
There are 15 spring loaded S shaped tines with replaceable teeth in two rows which cultivate the soil up to
100 mm depth. Working depth can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the rear field roller. The spring tines
penetrate quite deep in the ground during operation and the field roller compacts the ground, leaving a great
looking finish to the surface. Therefore the attachment is suited for arenas with gravel or sand sub-base,
where there is no geotextile fabric, rubber, or other materials which the tines could dig up.
When there is a need to transport the attachment outside horse arenas, the optional support wheel kit
(A36593) should be installed and the wheels must be lowered to protect the attachment from damage while
driving on hard surfaces. The extra wheels are also available as hydraulically adjustable (A37547), in which
case the loader must be equipped with a double acting rear hydraulics outlet.
Other options that are available include the side wheel kit A418962, and side scraper blade A36471 for
working at areas with side walls.
The Spring tine cultivator 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.
