New wheel loaders

Avant Tecno introduces the Avant 645i and 650i wheel loaders, which it reports are the most powerful loaders of their size class in the world.

The dimensions and lifting power of the new machines are in the same range with the previous 600 series models, but the engine is new. Kubota's 44-horsepower diesel engine provides plenty of power and torque for work that is speed intensive and/or requires high pulling force.

Avant Tecno introduces the Avant 645i and 650i wheel loaders, which it reports are the most powerful loaders of their size class in the world.

Avant sources report it is the first manufacturer to bring such a powerful machine to the market in this size class. The Avant 645i and 650i models are the most compact over 26 horsepower Stage V/Tier 4 Final-compliant loaders in the market. The single speed 645i and the two-speed 650i are equipped with a Kubota V1505CRT diesel engine. The 4-cylinder 1498 cm³ turbocharged common rail engine has a power output of 33 kW / 44 hp. The oxidation catalyst and particulate filter handle the exhaust aftertreatment, and no additives are required.

The maximum oil flow of the auxiliary hydraulics is 19.8 gpm, which is unique to a loader in this size class. The new loaders can run almost any of Avant’s hydraulically driven attachments.

The hydrostatic transmission has a hydraulic drive motor on each wheel, which is a familiar feature of Avant compact loaders. The Avant 645i is equipped with single-speed motors (maximum driving speed 8 mph), while the 650i has two-speed motors and a maximum driving speed of 15.5 mph. Due to their low weight (3571.5/3593.5 pounds), the loaders are easy to transport and gentle on delicate surfaces.

Superior comfort and versatility for professional use
The new loaders have a certified ROPS/FOPS open cab as standard. Both the L-cab and Avant's latest GT cab, which is completely unique in this size class, are available as an option. The noise and vibration isolation of the spacious and modern GT cab is excellent, with efficient heating and ventilation, excellent ergonomics, and large windows providing superior comfort for the operator. Air conditioning is also available in the GT cab.

The original Avant concept pioneered 30 years ago guarantees efficient work: articulated steering allows for turning without tire marks, while the operator has an unrestricted view of the attachment and working area. The low center of gravity, together with the rigid articulation joint, increases stability and provides a higher tipping load.

Characteristic of the Avant, the telescopic lifting boom comes as standard for the new models. The length of the telescope is 23.6 inches, and the maximum lifting height is 111.8 inches to the hinge pin of the attachment coupling plate. The hydraulic boom’s self-levelling system automatically keeps the load horizontal when the boom is lifted and lowered.

The 600 series features the Avant specific quick attachment plate for attachments; hydraulic quick locking of the locking pins is also available. The hydraulic hoses of the attachment are conveniently connected to a multi connector as in all Avant loaders.

Avant’s range of attachments is the largest in the world, and over 200 attachments are also available for the 600 series. Avant is an incredibly versatile and useful loader for several customer segments: property maintenance, landscaping, tree care, construction and more.

Production of the new loader models will begin in the fall of 2022.
