That looks exactly like my old 520+ I sold a couple of years ago. You won't go wrong if it's an exact copy

Believe they made parts for avant so could be an exact copy the engine is kubota,

Why did you sell it, any dislikes? I'm after an old style avant, because they seem like a very simple built and have no plastic panels. Don't see why I should prefer the newer ones except of their look.

As my work got bigger, I needed to lift more weight, and higher. I wanted to get a 750. It's faster, has self levelling and the quick couplings for hydraulics. I was running out of room in my barn storage wise, and the 750 had extra reach and height so I was able to lift attachments and machines to the top of my racking, freeing up space.

The 520 was great, metal panels etc. I sold it for just 500 less than I paid for it, but without the attachments that came with it, and as luck would have it, the guy who brought it knew the guy I brought it from!

You can do a lot with the old style metal 520+ given the right weights, adjustments and a clever driver they will lift nearly one tonne are smaller than the new ones. All parts can be found at your local hydraulic shop the engine is bomb proof, I have looked at getting a new one,had them on demo.my lads still get into the old 520+ first. When you sum up the parts of an Avant/ multione the price far exceeds the cost of the parts. These on eBay look good value for money. I think they might well be worth a serious look.
