ASV – Dominant Skid Steer

ASV Skid Steer or THE Skid Steer

I know ASV is the best Tracked Skid Steer available on the Market. How can I come to this conclusion, Personal Experience…

The Other Day Somebody Asked me on the phone:

 “Can you please give me some info on the ASV RC-100 Skid Steer? Also,
how does it match up with the competitors?”

 

Well, You Asked for it. ASV’s Patented “Track System” or Undercarriage was designed with the help of snow mobile and track developing experts Polaris Inc. To go even further, the ASV Undercarriage that was developed was so innovative and smooth that Caterpillar made a Deal with ASV so that they could get that undercarriage in their Skid Steer Machines, What a Hoot!

 

The RC-100 is ASV’s largest and most powerful Tracked Skid Steer boasting a 99.9hp Perkins TurboCharged Diesel Engine with its powerful Hydraulic Arm’s easily lifting 3,800lbs of raw material 125 inches into the Sky. It comes in two Flavors – Regular and Forestry Edition. Both come with top notch equipment standard and a whole variety of other Optional do-dads including but not limited to: Enclosed Cab, A/C, Windows, Pedal Throttle, and Radio – Country Anybody? And many more. The Forestry Edition was created to be more like a Tank than the Regular Model. The RC-100 Forestry is a Machine that is built to do construction in heavily wooded and dangerous environments where branches and trees could easily impale and incapacitate the armor and/or driver the Regular RC-100. This baby Comes STANDARD with Comprehensive Arsenal of Armor Including Limb risers, Hinged Skid Plates, Steel Light Guards, Steel Hood Guarding, Window Guards including thick Glass, and a Climate Control System with a Guarded Condenser to keep the African Army Ants Out and the Cool Air In. All in All, if you’re doing work in a Rain Forest where Red Wood Tree’s will be falling out of the sky around, near, and on your Machine this is your best bet – otherwise I would stick with the Regular Edition which will save you about 15 to 20 grand and operates exactly the way the Forestry Edition does without the armor.

 

Recently to celebrate ASV’s 25 Anniversary of business, developing and producing Skid Steer’s, they’ve decided to fade out the RC Series of Skid Steers in favor of the New and Improved PT Series. You might be saying “Oh no, the RC Series was so great, what is ASV going to do without their ASV RC Series Skid Steers, They’ll never make it in TODAYS ECONOMY” Don’t get your panties in a bunch just yet. All the same models exist in the newer PT Series (PT-100, PT-80, PT-60, etc, etc) , but they’ve been upgraded, updated and up-… well that’s all I’ve got. Most of the changes are subtle, but others not so much. The most visible update to the new PT Series is their new paint and decal package that displays ASV’s bold new logo and paint scheme. This new Paint Scheme is suppose to reflect the company’s unmatched dedication to rubber track technology, I Say it just looks neat. Beyond the cosmetics lies what truly matters in the Construction Equipment World, Equipment!

 

All ASV PT Series Compact Track Loaders, except the PT-30, now include a new rugged steel engine hood and new idler wheel bearings with more durable metal face seals. Other enhancements to various models of ASV’s new product line include new dash panels with new gauges and more indicator lights and optional tachometer and temperature gauges. All machines now include a poly-roof panel and a larger roof window offering more upward visibility for easier loading. New optional doors on all models include improved handles and tighter seals. And the PT-70 and PT-80 models feature larger standard interiors and improved torque when in the HIGH speed range.

 

ASV Has been tested against 7 of its factory competitors including CAT, Bobcat, John Deere, and others in an all out ratings war. ASV Scored best in all categories including Ground Clearance, Ground Pressure, Power, Performance and many more benchmark tests.

SKID LOADERS

Probably one of the most vertitle pieces of equipment you can own. These little power houses can do a multitude of jobs including moving dirt, trenching, applying silt fence, tilling, use of a breaker hammer, tree shear, and may other applications.

Skid steer machines come in two basic variates: Wheeled and Tracked, each have their advanatges and disadvantages. Wheeled machines have higher ground speeds and less maintence. Tracked machines feature lower ground pressure and better traction on sandy or wet surfaces.

I can offer you many choices in New or Used Skids. Feel free to comment here or call me
