Vanguard® 18 hp (13.4 kW) V-Twin Petrol Engine
Quick Attach System™ (QAS)
17 Attachments Available
Front, Mid and Rear Attachment Points
The Sand Pro® 5040 is the definition of versatility and function. The patented Quick Attach System™ (QAS) for front, mid and rear attachments allows for under-a-minute attachment changes. With a powerful 18 hp (13.4 kW) engine and hydraulic power steering, be more productive with 17 attachments, including the Flex Blade which raises and lowers hydraulically. Each attachment was specifically designed to take the operator influence out of the equation for high performance and a consistent surface finish.
3WD Series/Parallel™ Traction Drive
The 3WD Series/Parallel™ traction drive improves traction in wet or heavy working conditions to get the job completed quickly. In traditional 3WD units all traction effort is lost as soon as one wheel slips. Series/Parallel™ ensures that you always have tractive effort with at least one wheel to keep your unit from getting stuck and losing precious time.
Steerable Front Attachments
Steerable front attachments on the Sand Pro® 5040 give operators the precision never before offered in this industry. The newly designed Flex Blade is adjustable to different environments (wet/dry), scarify, level and smooth in the same pass. Improve the operators ability to direct the attachment into and out of tight areas, like around dugouts or base path contours. Hydraulic float position and steerable blade reduces operator influence and the potential for damage. Combined, these features improve the consistency between fields, operators, and weather conditions.
Quick Connect Hydraulics
The new quick connect hydraulics allow anyone to connect or disconnect any of the powered attachments in under a minute. This eliminates the need for dedicated equipment.
Power Packed Engines
The trusted Vanguard® engine is fuel efficient, runs cooler and features a fully pressurised oil lubrication system for longer life.
Quick Attach System™ (QAS)
With the Quick Attach System™ (QAS), anyone can switch from one attachment to another in less than a minute, with no tools required! Match the machine to the environment to get your fields back into playing condition The QAS allows you to do more with less, and get the job done faster. Rear QAS is standard on the Sand Pro® 3040 and 5040, front QAS™ is optional on the Sand Pro® 5040.
Manoeuvrable Steering
For operator ease of use, and to improve the effectiveness of the steerable front attachments, hydraulic power steering is now available on the 5040 and a rugged gear drive system on the 3040. Both designs are now environmentally sealed to ensure long life and reduced maintenance.
Maintenance Friendly Layout
The new unit was designed with the mechanic in mind, to reduce, simplify, and increase access to all scheduled maintenance. The majority of scheduled maintenance projects can be accessed by lifting the operator seat. For increased access, the side and center quarter panels can be taken off by removing just a few bolts.
Ease of Use
Easy to use and adapt to the next task. Having the right tool for the job increases the effectiveness of your crew and the efficiency of your operation. Attachments are designed to minimise operator influence to achieve the same result, regardless of whether a new or veteran employee performed the task.
Mid-Mount System
With the Mid-mount system, a flex mounted toolbar can be adjusted to flex backwards when it comes in contact with anything from rocks or other rigid objects to prevent gouging or wash boarding. Multiple locking depth settings to ensure consistent depth of scarification from day to day or between operators. A mid-mount leveling system is also available to make quick work of the difficult projects like around dugouts or player positions.
