@@fmiequipment I hear that some of those ASV Models are the only skid steers that were made specifically for treads, and they added tank style treads so that it has the lowest ground PSI, (great floatation on marginal soils) and it can navigate hills and valleys much better than the rest of the skid steers, so that would make sense to adapt the box to the most capable of the skid skid steers in that segment. I've been looking at a JCB tele-skid for side entry, but the ASV has now become a strong contender for my next purchase.
@@fmiequipment I saw they had a 2 year - 2000 hour warranty on the tracks not coming off out in the boonies. That's impressive, no one else does it. They have like a 3 lug inner track, middle, sides so that it's darn near impossible to de-track them. Very impressive machine. I'm still partial to the JCB Teleskid / side entry/ extended reach, but the ASV Sure would be my choice for rugged steep terrain.
Yeah, it’s not a lot of water but compared to most fire apparatus it is. That is as much if not more than a type 7 engine and just a little bit less than a type 6 which most common engines on brushfires
