Stability: ASV vs Competitive Loaders 

I like how the drivers for this video drop the speed of the upper track to get it to dig out on side slopes . I’ve driven about every skid steer on this video and haven’t had issues with a small incline like this or dig out on small side slopes either.

Have ran them all. The asv balance is spot on. They will go where the others simply cannot. The ride is beyond being comfortable, will mean a lot more productivity with the asv. Great machines!

I have spent countless hours in ASV machines. Hands down the best comfort & maneuverability on the market I spend less time trying to make the machine do what I want. Less time on the struggle buss is more cash in my pocket when the job is done. Keep it up ASV!!

I have been in business 25 years I’m a contractor and Takeuchi is like a really amazing machine and works on Streep’s slopes and hills

I had the opportunity of running a CAT 257D , ASV RT-70 and RT-75 on my own property all with a 72" brush cutter and bucket for a few days. The RT-70 felt very under powered give its size, had trouble turning in 180 or 360 degrees. Given the 70 was a similar weight class as the 257D the CAT smoked it. My dealer came and dropped off a 75 a week later and it was worlds better than the 70. It is a good bit larger than the CAT 257D, but both models had similar HP and the ASV had a better flow rate. The 75 and 257 are both great machines, both had pros and cons, and came with good options, I would have been very happy with either machine. At the end of the day I went with the CAT because believe it or not it was about $5500 cheaper than the 75 with similar options. Since ASV separated from Terex they have been turning out great products!

La mejor máquina del mundo asv❤🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪 deben venir a Perú

That operator purposely went out of his way to bury that skid steer 😆🤣

You can clearly see in the cat bucket when going up the slope and there is no dirt in the bucket. Not a full load like you claimed

Asv rules hands down I drive one every day its king period

It would have been nice if you compared the same track style AND THE SAME WEIGHT CLASS! I’ve ran asvs I’ve graded some pretty steep slopes with my cat 257 and not had that issue

I've had an RC50 for many years. Love the machine. Very capable and will do exactly what the video says. I was warned about the "shitty track system" by others. They were wrong. It's been bullet proof. CAT actually has the ASV tracks on their machines now as an option. If CAT has it, it's a no-brainer.

That’s why caterpillar made a mutilterrain loader which is a skid steer with tracks like the one the asv has and a compact track loader with the regular tracks it has in this video

Um I dont know. I still like Cat and Bobcat better. But if I had to choose one, then I would have to go with Cat.

ok you've got my attention, because i live in the hills of West Virginia.... but just be straight up with me and tell me where your weaknesses are vs the competition also.

It is the operator. I have been doing grading 16 yrs. At least 7yrs in skid loaders everyday . There design is flawed with the tracks& rollers. The plastic rollers get jammed up with debris, like all do. But the plastic melts, you will smell it. Then it will go rolling by. Of course then down time. Also the tracks have rubber nipples which pop off . Leaving dead areas ( sucks on turning to one side to work ) In 3yrs of using cat skids with AVS track systems. I never worn out a track. Nipples came off and track were useless with 60% tread left. I can't speak for the machine ( brand ) it's self because we never bought any due to the tracks. Also just to put it out there. The gear drive has rollers , not teeth to lock into the tracks. Very squeaky, slip when under a load ( which pops the nipples ) . Maybe they are a awesome balanced machine . But useless if it will not move. Redesign your tracks & drive system.. And maybe y'all will have the best skid loader . P.S. we had 4 cats with there system. All brand new , plastic on the seats around 2010 to 2012 models. The company is pretty loyal to the brand. But will try others. After 3 yrs struggling with rollers & tracks . they finely sold them and we have not had a roller fall off since. Nor a track replacement before it's time. Just a operator's 2 cents.

Yeah in most of those. Bobcats the operators did not hav the bucket down low for better traction operators mistake

Looks to me like they used narrower tracks on all the other machines. Not a fair comparison if they did.

Any one else realize that the asv always had dirt in the bucket the others didn't

Pretty sure the old asv had cat motors in them but like the 289 259 series very interesting thanks

I just can’t get past those little T Rex arms

But you can turn around back up the slope as well keep the motor weight up hill and bucket low

Good luck picking up what those other machines can

Totally disagree is not the machine Is all about operator

were not talking about completely different style tracks, that will affect traction etc

So its better on the slopes what about lifting and other tests?

I'm still trying to figure out what to do if I tip one over...

MTL vs CTL not fair. Also Cat's MTL use ASV unercarrage so they wont compair that. On the sideways slopes the ASV always had a fullish bucket shifting so weught forward so not as back heavy, where all others had empty so very rear heavy. That's my opion. And Phil is right any good operator knows heaviest end is always uphill going up or down. Good try though ASV

Asv awesome machines glad I bought one great in dirt and sand but breaker rock 2 to 4 inch material will eat up wheels fast if you are not careful

Why don’t you get MTL track systems on all of the other Machines and then test them

Oddly, ASV is always front-loaded in these videos while the competition is empty. Probably plays into the ass-end slipping, no?

What is the point of all the back is plastic ??, Let the customer say which one is the best night you guys

Asv has dirt in the bucket. The rest don't that makes a huge difference

I'm on the market looking for 2nd hand one, are all ASV models good for slopes and hills or should i being looking for a certain model ? Cheers

Who noticed on the hill climb that every other machine had more rear weight than the avs did?

ASV. es mejor porque su punto de equilibrio esta mas centreado que los demas y es de mas baja gravedad eso se es veridico

I've ran slot of skid steer loaders it's very hard to beat the 750 bobcat.

I wish we had an asv dealer in oklahoma city

Why not compete with jcb

I groom a supercross track with a cat 249c and have no problem climbing steeper slopes than what are shown here

i’ve been operating skid steereds for a years and have only have flipped 17s of them. the ASV’s is much more gooder on slopes. i’ve only flippeded 4 of those but who knows what could happened timorrow. PS. if anyone needs anyones work gettin done just let’s me know. my new skids stir just came ins so i’ms ready to rock and roll. 🍻

FMI Equipment has been a ASV Dealer since 2001 we have sold 100's of units and in my opinion the New RT75 is the best Compact Track Loader in its Class

I use a Cat with a bolt on Loegering VTS track system. Yes it was expensive. But it makes the machine act like it's on steroids. Longer track frames. More weight down low. Large sprocket that turns less speed. Big rollers. Torsion ride. Can remove and run tires if needed. Can remove and repair. But I'm an owner operator. I run it with smooth precision and try to never abuse it. Would I let a crew of knuckledraggers run it? NO! Id put them on the most basic Japanese open cab machine I could buy.

Heavier rear end?? Know what I mean???

In slopes, the asv tracked loader, the whole thing was sliding down the slope, while with other machines, only the back end was sliding, and RARELY are the loaders going to be going up a slope without a load in their bucket, i gurantee you any brand of these loaders can make a video, and all machines are going to have downsides

all i can say is that i hate climbing with my 863, and the new 279d i been using this week was iffy on things like this. dont really want to test that out when im by myself.

Too bad you guys can't keep up with production ( so far).Perhaps with the buyout etc you can kick into the next gear. Oh yeah, add another foot of leg room while you are at it and you will definitely be there.

Yup that wasn't biased in any way. Has asv sorted its piss weak booms. Still running a track system based on a snow mobile. It don't snow here but we've got lots of rock and concrete that destroys asv track gear.

okay lets see what's up with mud ?

Buenas máquinas cuanto cuesta?

ASV is only good when it's working .. 50 hours in on a new PT120F and blown something again , this is the second time .. getting to the point of not being game enough to take it out on a job-site

I have ran bobcat and Deere for years and never once had this made up problem!

Why are they comparing a mtl to a ctl??

As every good loader driver knows, heavy end first!!!!! Perhaps you should try this.

Have had both machines the asv is far better machine at least the track systems. Downside is the undercarriage is weak and wheels break from larger stones. Also lots of moving parts that wear and expensive compared to any other machine.

Its not even an apples to apples comparison you have the biggest kubota and biggest case but smaller bobcat and smaller Takeuchi. And the asv couldn’t pick up half as much as any of it competitors

Notice they never compare to JCB

Asv should advertise life of tracks. I get 2500 hours on my rc 30. My rc 60 has 2000 hours on camoplast tracks. My md 2810 has the 2nd set on it since 2002. The bobcats needed replacement with camoplast in 750 hours. The mini excavator about the same. No more bobcats on my lot. I have a mt50 that is scrap. Was the worst machine ever. Rattled,jerky,bouncy, spilled half the load going thru the yard. What a joke.

Bias test use 277 MTL track style

Merci for experiment

Intentional spinouts at 2:17 and 2:30=FAKE Presentation.

Bobcat and cat is the best in asv we have put the best driver

Try a commander

I got one !!!

idk, I can drive a 299D3 cat up a slope WAY more steep than that

Take a bobcat any day of the week

That’s so false I have cat and bobcat and they do way better than that all do whatever you do and better

I have 5k plus hours on the ASV/Terex line, on grades worse than this, never once have thrown a track.

They make bulldozers for that loose shit! My Bobcat T650 mows on sloops fine! Non are more balanced for all tasks better than Bobcat!

Ahahaha all right Video angles and they all slide out to the left slightly... 🤣 Wonder what's going on with the other track that we can't see? Hmmm hahaha

So the ASV is good for landscapers! I understand now! 🙉 if you want lifting buy John deere. If you want to ride in a steel cage like an amusement ride with no mobility buy a Caterpillar. If you want to make money and get the job done fast buy a New Holland.

REALLY slanted comparison. Have all the machines do th same thing with same bucket load. Stop spinning the low side track to get them to slip.

Shut up if you haven't ran all of them. I rented an asv to remove snow ( I have an bobcat track loader and a new Holland wheel loader.) The asv was trashed and I did things with it in areas I would never have dreamed with the other two. I had no opinion one way or another before. And payload on newer ones rivals my LX985 new Holland with a smaller machine. The bobcat, well it's like a Chevy, Someone will always buy it cause of what is says on the side but it isn't better, and in quite a few important ways it's worse.

When we are comparing apples always make they are apples!

Commander track loaders rule

lol treads that are very aggressive still not doing what they say they will. Put those same treads on another machine and you'd see wins.

Where the new holland

Oh bullshit, I grade 4/1 slopes with my Kubota SVL75-2 all the time.

Always fill it with a load and problem solved, ASV boogie wheels fall apart if you use it in projects with stones, Rubber chip away time after time.

I call BS. The ASV has full bucket in some shots while the competitor machine has empty bucket!!

I call bullshit ASV has dirt in their bucket while side sloping none of the other machines did

After watching the video and reading thru the comments, my take on it is, opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one (*)...lol

I like cat and we have a cat and you are using different

What this tells me is to trust my instincts and be careful when working a skid steer on a slope.

Metain terrain.

Put the same tracks on the CAT, even with those tracks u have, ours climbs hills like that no problem! FAKE!

Terex is better, that's why they didn't show one on video😡

Where’s the full load in the bucket lol

so fycking bias in side slope hahaha. the bobcat doesnt have load in its bucket

ingannevole

Get a new operator then try again.

LOL get a real dozer

Who gives a pile of DIRT!!! Asv is "totally awesome" (sarcasm)

Gay

Fake

Go up backwards. And fake presentation.

this is a bullshit video nothing will climb like a bobcat I say this because I've run every machine they showed on this video and bobcat by far has the best stability and climbing ability also has the best track system and best reliability lift ability is comparable to anything else in its weight class only thing I don't like about bobcat is the slow hydraulics

I know this is fake cause I own both terex and cat (terex was bought by asv same design) the cat 279 it way better than the terex
