Avant 528 ground pressure

[seanycurran]

Hi all,

I cant seem to find any info on the ground pressure of the avant. It's a 528 with standard wheels/agri tyres, with 180kg rear weights. Doesn't need to be super exact.

 

We've got a tracked mewp in tomorrow in a woodland tomorrow, with a few soft areas and trying to judge whether there is a danger of getting it stuck.

 

Cheers

Sean

Cant help with pressure but in my experiance they get stuck very easily in soft ground.

I've got a massive winch on the Bobcat if you do ?

Thanks!
We've only had them out in gardens etc. I'm hoping there's only one area that may cause issues now. It once was a pile of logged up something or another which has now reverted back to compost. I've dug out what I can with the avant. There's boards and plenty of timber on site to get us over it.

If you get a call tomorrow with me in tears, I won't even need to explain!! Could you PM your number please? I'm sure Drew has it but would be good to meet for a beer if you're keen?
