Benefits · 8 highlights

Level, crumble, reconsolidate.

Front weights make the tractor front-heavy. A front press, on the other hand, ensures balanced axle loads and works actively for you at the same time: soil that has already been crumbled and reconsolidated at the front no longer needs laborious cultivation at the rear.

“Agriculture does not need more horsepower – it needs more brainpower.”

A better seedbed. Less effort.

    01 Traction

    Actively working instead of dead front ballast

    The front press ensures balanced axle loads, takes weight off the rear axle and improves traction – while actively working the soil.

    02 Fuel

    Work shallower, save fuel

    approx. 10%Fuel saved per cm less working depth

    The tractor barely leaves tracks and the power harrow can work shallower: 1 cm less depth saves approx. 10% fuel – and approx. 150 tonnes less soil has to be moved per hectare.

    03 Passes

    One pass fewer

    In late autumn, drilling can be done in a single pass. Front presses level, crumble and reconsolidate – saving extra passes such as rolling after drilling.

    04 Steering

    No steering hitch needed

    GÜTTLER prism rings do not run stubbornly straight ahead like railway wheels. What isn’t there cannot develop play or wear – and the machine runs smoothly even at high speed, which is important for automatic steering systems.

    07 Clearance

    Large clearance

    The 3-row tine section with a frame height of 460 mm lets straw and plant residues pass through. The steep tines bring hardly any straw or stones to the surface.

    08 Maintenance

    Free of play and easy to repair

    The split 56 cm rings are clamped onto the 140 × 140 axle with four screws and, if the worst comes to the worst, can be replaced without dismantling the roller. All bearings have an additional dust cap.

Applications

In spring and in autumn alike.

With little effort and no extra tractor power, the Avant creates a better seedbed: pre-levelled, crumbly and pre-consolidated. On heavy soils it crumbles, on light soils it reconsolidates – and that is where it is particularly important.

Suitable soils

Avant 45
medium to heavy, crumbly soils
Avant 56
light sandy soils to heavy soils that will still crumble
  1. 01

    Spring drilling

    On frost-weathered furrows: level with shallow-set tines without bringing damp soil to the surface.

  2. 02

    Autumn drilling after the plough or cultivator

    The fewer passes on damp soils, the better – drilling is done in a single pass.

  3. 03

    Levelling the winter furrow

    With the rear headstock it can also be used at the rear for seedbed preparation, for example to level the winter furrow in late autumn.

  4. 04

    Carrier for the front tank

The Original Since 1978

The AVANT runs on the roller with the golden hoofprint®.

The Prismenwalze® in the AVANT goes back to Fritz Güttler’s first patented roller from 1978. Since then, the prism ring has been developed further, generation by generation – right up to the split 56 cm rings in special cast iron that run in the AVANT 56 today.

Many customers have been working with GÜTTLER front presses for 25 years or more.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

Do I need a steering hitch for the AVANT?

No. Press rings with narrow cutting edges run stubbornly straight ahead like railway wheels and therefore need a steering hitch. GÜTTLER prism rings do not have this guiding behaviour. Without a steering hitch, nothing can develop play or wear, and the machine runs smoothly even at high speed – which is important for automatic steering systems.

Ø 45 or Ø 56 cm – which diameter is right for me?

The Avant 45 works at power harrow speed and is designed for medium to heavy, crumbly soils. The Avant 56 is made for heavy tractors and high speeds – from light sandy soils to heavy soils that will still crumble. Which design you need depends on your soils and on what you expect from a front implement.

Tined unit or FlatSpring?

The tined unit can be finely adjusted and is ideal for shallow weed control and for crumbling the seedbed. The FlatSpring is robust, can be set aggressively and is ideal for levelling; it is hydraulically adjustable. A tined unit is not possible on folding Avant models.

Can I also use the AVANT at the rear?

Yes. The rear headstock is simply bolted on and can be retrofitted at any time, even after purchase. This means the Avant 30-56 can also be used at the rear for seedbed preparation – for example to level the winter furrow in late autumn.

What happens when there is a lot of straw?

The 3-row tine section offers 460 mm of clearance. If a lot of straw has been worked in with a cultivator and the field is worked again straight afterwards, set the tines very shallow or remove the tine section. If the field has had about eight days to settle, the vibrating tines shake the straw off.
