ASV RT120 VS. CAT 299 what you have been waiting for💥 

Great video showing the advantages and disadvantages with the two ive been looking at both mechines and the tipping point and lift capability is a big factor thanks for the video

Thanks, that was helpful

Good videos. Don't listen to the negative comments, those people dont matter. Keep up the nice content!

Good video thanks. You said you would take CAT over ASV. But it looked like the ASV was more powerful when mulching the log head to head. You mention the balance on the ASV was a problem. If you put some rear weights on the ASV, would you still prefer the CAT? Reasons? Thanks for any help!

Someone that actually knows what they’re talking about

ASV has subpar build quality in comparison with Cat. I’ve got both myself. I’d also take the Cat any day over the ASV. The cab and ride of the Cat is unbeatable. The vertical lift of the 299 vs the radial lift arms on the 120 is a definite advantage as well. I just wish Cat would up the power and pressures to match or exceed the ASV. The dealer support with Caterpillar far exceeds the minuscule ASV dealer network.Btw... just put a 5’ head on the 299 and problem solved with the power : )

That ASV's an absolute weapon

This price on these things is staggering. But very impressive.

Could you add a extra counterweight on the asv?

As an ASV owner I agree, it’s like riding a bull if the attachment is too heavy.

Good personality

What about the stumps leaving them,, now the'll be hard to find covered up with mulch , guess customer dosent care,, A S V needs longer track frame

I would wager a couple inches longer wheelebase on the ASV would go a long way towards stability

The asv speed is insane and track is better to my understanding but CAT is a huge company and got good things too but for forestry I wouls go with ASV

I run a terex pt 110 forestry with a fecon head and a 60 inch diamond and it will handle them no problem what did thay change on the new asv rt120 to make it so tipsy been looking at the new asv as an upgrade any thoughts would be helpful Thank's xtreme mulching land clearing.

So if you had to pick one; what would it be? Would you buy either one again or go with something else? Thanks, appreciate the video.

could the ASV be more unstable solely because it has a larger engine? centrifigul force and all that? I am sure design has a lot to do with it but to me it seems to make a lot of sense

What happened to the lamtrac? Did you like it?

Ha ha I wouldn't pay them to operate for me lol, In saying that I am so sick of spending the time and money training people and they leave for so called greener pastures . Thinking I might as well sell most of it and keep just enough for myself employed

Is your new 299d3 more comparable to asv 120 or same as D2 ?

what i see is the guy on the ASV is always raising his mulcher too high when he moves forward and backward so it is definitely the operator, the guy on the Cat does not raise the mulcher so high so he takes longer and ASV has more clearance as well.

ASV RT 120

The ASV was on the top end the Cat was on the trunk end. Unfair comparison

drive sprocket parts on the asv, 500, drive sprocket parts on the cat, 1

Stability Problem? Operator needs to be more subtle on sticks, Mulching head is nearly stalling as it plows into log, wasting a lot of time pushing into fallen tree from side and not mulching it. Yeah he got the job done but it wasn't pretty. 5/10

Cat going to work

i wonder if a diamond mower might be a better match for the cat, assuming you dont get into too large of timber for the mower.

Bad mouthing the viewers might not be a good idea....just saying.

Having seen countless times what can be thrown in front and behind the machine, it just makes me nervous how close you’re getting to the debris.

Are they wearing the same teeth?

In experience operators don’t help either I run a 299 everyday mulching and these guys would give me a fuckin headache

That's no shit about getting sea sick in the ASV ran one for about 30min ruined the rest of my day

The CAT looks "broken" when compared with the ASV.

Asv cant keep its ass on the ground
