Designed purpose of use
The AVANT Silage Dispenser is an attachment suitable for use with AVANT multi purpose loaders shown in
Table 1. The attachment is intended for dispensing precision chopped silage and feeding stuffs made with
feed mixers. It is a quick and easy way to distribute silage in cowhouses, poultry farms etc. The dispenser
bucket can be filled like a normal bucket directly from floor level, or from a silo. The bucket distributes silage to
about 10 cows / fill - it takes approx. 10 minutes to distribute silage to 50 cows.
Inside the bucket is a hydraulically driven conveyor and discharging openings to both right and left side.
Material can be discharged to the left or to the right by turning the auxiliary hydraulics control lever of the
loader in either direction. Operating speed is adjustable by controlling the auxiliary hydraulics flow of the
loader with the engine RPM. The bucket is intended only for soft, loose materials typically used at farms.
The attachment has been designed to require as little maintenance as possible. The operator can perform
regular maint
enance tasks. All repair work can’t be performed by the operator, and demanding repair and
maintenance operations are to be left for professional maintenance. 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 retailer if you have additional questions about the operation or maintenance of the equipment, or if
you require spare parts or maintenance services.

The compatibility recommendations are based on the width of the loader, lifting capacity, and adequate
breakout force. Normally the width of the attachment should match roughly the width of the loader. When
using too wide attachment the actual breakout force (bucket tilting capacity) decreases and the overall
performance will decrease. To estimate the lifting capacity of the loader the load diagram shown in the
operator’s manual of the loader can be used. When using with models marked with (
, full performance may
not be achieved. Additional counterweights may also be required.
