Filter Changes on the ASV RT120 

You have such a great team. They guys can be trusted to get on and service the machines, whilst you, the Boss does what he should be doing - pricing quotes and getting future business in the diary.

Looks like they built the machine around the oil filter. 😁 Good work guys!!! 👍👍

As mentioned before, shop videos are a favorite. 👍 Maintaining equipment and vehicles is ALWAYS a good thing! 😎❤ GREAT UBC Team! ❤👍

Best crew in the upstate! My company uses them and so should you!

Great videoing guys! Y'all sound SO southern lol just like me...I love it!

Can you image having to pay the labor in an outside shop! What a team! 👍❤️

Wow, ASV gets a big fat "F" for filter placement on that unit. Great job guys!

I was changing filters on my ASV75HD. Two came off fine, easy access. The third in the rear rested on a hose. I couldn't get the wrench between the bottom of the filter and this hose. It was doing to take awhile to remove that hose and reinstall to get the filter off. After trying to twist it off manually with no success I was ready to drive a screwdriver into it and twist, but wasn't looking forward to the mess it would make. Fortunately I had let two young guys deer hunt on my property. They worked for the water company and when they installed my service last fall one of them asked about hunting my land. They didn't have a lot of money and everyone around was charging to hunt. Good by me. Thought I might get some venison and he was a nice guy. So here came two strong guys out of the woods. Each took a shot trying to twist it with no success. That made me feel a little better, but we still had the problem. We considered other options, then one whips off his leather belt, wraps it twice around the filter and twists it right off. Gotta love ingenuity and the spirit of git er done. I realize it's a little different as you are paying your guys, but they look smart and strong, and happy to be working there. You and your team strike me as having that ingenuity. Thanks for video's like this that are so instructive. Moral of the story: Be generous with others and it will come back to you.. You may not only get some backstrap you may get some strong hands and sharp minds that come in handy.

Teamwork equals dream work! Great job y’all! Upstate Brush Control Crew rides again!!!

Fascinating video. If nothing else it teaches the importance of maintaining your equipment. These machines do not run themselves and need to be kept up to speed. Anyone who doesn’t realize that shouldn’t be in business. And it’s always great to see the team in action on down time. Each member not only knows his job, but the cooperation is amazing. They know that machine in and out and aren’t afraid to take on the most difficult tasks. By the way, it’s great to see Willie as we haven’t seen him in a while. He’s such a natural in front of the camera and is almost as comfortable at narration as Jon. Note to ASV: hope you’re watching this. Though you do make a fine machine - I know people who own and rave about them - there is room for improvement, especially with the placement of some of your filters. And what I found most amazing was the amount of debris removed; remarkable considering the machine is blown out after every use. Thanks for the video. I love the behind-the-scenes look.

This Days is the Correct Times the Machinen to fetch over and to clean. But the Werkshop the Material to Complete and all to clean. The Team is with eager near. With if the weather against good the Work can beginning. Greeting 🇦🇹

hw 7young guys you have in your crew that work for you are very dependable, and sweet that they can all be trusted into taking care of the equipment while your not there and looking for jobs. Also that they all have the training and knowledge to do all the maintenance on the machines as well..

On that band type oil filter for that big oil filter try epoxying a strip of 120 or 80 grit emery cloth to the band. I think you will find it grips better, any way that’s what I found worked for me. Like those young men you have working with you, good attitudes. Like your maintenance program , maintenance is king, maintenance rules. I repair all kinds of equipment and it mostly a result of poor or non existent maintenance. Thanks for the ride along.

What deference seeing the machine working and doing a terrific job but maintaining is whole big job all by itself, am glad that all of you work as team that makes even better. Have a great day (02/10/22) also guy's it's good see you doing a great job.💯💯💯

This should be an ASV training video! ;-) And guess what? The battery died. Haha Love the channel!!!..... and every RU-vidr battery dies or audio.... thanks Gopro. But you make it happen and thanks for bringing us along

Willy I made a wrench to take filters off , it will work on that filter if you can touch the filter from the bottom of the machine while the bottom pan is off. My machine is not an ASV but I to have one that's impossible to use a store bought tool on. From the stuff I've seen you build you would have no problem making this tool. If your interested in it just leave me a response .

Good practice to maintain your equipment,on regular basis,if you don’t it will cost you in the future.guy’s are more than knowing what to do,they don’t need supervision to get what needs to be done.good video as always.keep up the great work.👍👍👍😎😎😎

Hi Josh !

Awesome video thanks for your time and consideration John top team 🤠👍💰🍀

Maintenance is very important for any for any job

Hey boys, great vids, really helpful getting an idea of the machine before having a go myself. Do you have any footage of the fuel filter change? need to replace mine after contaminate got into the tank. thanks! Rip, rip woodchip!!

Love the way you guys work together! Are those Big A tune up cabinets from years past ??

Josh.... Lefty Loosy, Righty Tighty.....! =)

Listening to Willie describe putting that oil filter on was interesting... If you were listening and not watching the video he would make you think he was doing something else...

No doubt you have a great group of guys Jon; they're not doing too bad either.

Put a thin smear of grease on the rubber seal of the filters before you fill the filters as it stops them from drying out and sticking so bad, makes life easier on the next service 👍👍

What's the quickest route to change starter in RT215? Thanks!

Is the newer ASV RT120 easier to work on? That panel removal behind the right track has to be frustrating.

it is all in how he holds his tounge LoL

I know the machine is great but is it worth the cost of maintaining?

Never heard of anyone over servicing a machine, usually it's a case of not servicing that causes break downs n lost revenue.

Hint.. take a plastic shopping bag put over your filters when removing not as much mess on you or the unit!

all machinery needs some tlc every once in a while...lol...

you should try captain kleeman's method. he uses a belt around the filter, it is really smart. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M3KESUCX4YI.html at about 6:21

I won’t buy this skid steer because of the difficulty to maintain with the hours wasted doing this. this is why I own a bobcat instead. absolutely all filters are easily accessible. watching this video just pisses me off at asv because these guys have such an awesome attitude about this fucked up way to maintain this machine.

Too bad there was so much noise.
