ASV Posi-Track Loader 80HP CTL Shooutout

[@VanceK-dr6ku]

I have owned an ASV 30 for over 8 years now. It is an amazing machine, and I have used it for everything from loading a piano to excavating a foundation. There is no machine out there that compares to ASV. I have never tipped it or rolled it, and it has been used in situations NONE of these other machines could have even gotten into. This video is awesome, and barely touches on how much better this machine is to the next closest machine.

[@dieselguy83]

I really like how they tell you about how great the undercarriage is but they fail to tell you that it's extremely expensive to replace and that the rollers on that junk are rubber. We rented an ASV one time and it was an alright machine but I noticed that the undercarriage was crap. Sure it has flotation, but when the rollers at the back had huge chunks of rubber missing, that was a sure sign of failure. I'm glad I bought a Takeuchi TL250. It might ride rougher, but at least it's a beast.

[@idontknow-zw8br]

I got a sr80 and the rollers are steel

[@stevep959]

Read elsewhere on YT on another review that undercarriage replacement is U.S$12-15K. Another post said back is fibreglass on the back and the hydraulic pipes are exposed underneath. For forestry mulching that's not good, and also the undercarriage scrubs out with rocks etc. I didn't waste my money on an ASV after I did my research which was mostly from guys who have run ASV and other machines to compare. I bought a Takeuchi instead and waiting for it arrive in August.

[@RoyFrancisPlant]

I notice you never compare the Takeuchi TL150 / TL250 / TL12 size machine with the grouser type rubber track, we know from experience with both undercarriages that the Takeuchi with the grouser type rubber track beats the pants off the ASV when climbing.

[@RAMBOPUNlSHER]

there where the two that kick Posi-Track ass so they saved the embarrassment

[@ddburrell32]

I think ASV is the worst tracked loader on the market. It's no comparison to Bobcat or Cat. I wouldn't have one of those pieces of junk. I Grade for a living every day and that crap wouldn't stand a chance .. Your moving sand with a smooth edge bucket come on man. Really.. that's no real life comparison....

[@mrpush2855]

Ok wait so in what characteristics are you saying that a Bobcat is better? This thing CLEARLY is better in Mud and loose material. So are you saying bucket lifting capacity is a lot less? What does a CAT do that is so much better than one of these specifically?

[@idontknow-zw8br]

I love my asv sr80

[@Bill37nj]

The rubber wheels wear out fast and bearing fall apart even inner are a pain to replace. 1-1/2 stones will get jammed in the wheels as well when using for septic install.

[@idontknow-zw8br]

Don’t do 0 point turns I have the original tracks even though it’s an ‘07

[@dankruger2890]

if I lived in a sandy area then you have point. Stick round valley rock where we live and now you have a problem. We also use 5/8 gravel rock -3/4 crushed rock as are bases to pour on. Rather than that I think asv has a great machine that does float on mud the best and has the best ride

[@johnathanpeyton]

Well look at all the other models rear ends of the engine compartment’s compared to the ASV all the engine stick further out and have more weight on the back of the tracks then the ASV seems to have

[@hvguy]

but I have a cat 277b with asv tracks... is this basically what your demonstrating?

[@idontknow-zw8br]

They got the same undercarriage so they’re somewhat the same machine

[@hunermim]

Good machines but they should look at takahuchis inside cab design.. asv cabs need more comfort roon

[@fullstridepropertymaintena3776]

ASV great !!

[@thatrandomchannel8589]

I don't care about a smooth ride I want power and speed

[@cac7549]

+ashley brown I think a CAT is better than an ASV.

[@AztecWarrior69_69]

@@cac7549 makes you wonder why CAT wasn't compared or represented.

[@stevecorcoran2960]

Because Cat utilized the ASV undercarriage up until a couple of years ago when they finally started manufacturing their own undercarriage systems for their skidsteers.

[@lewisshaffer2501]

they make the video to where the avs will be on top no matter what

[@kjoh259]

wheres the Cat, and kubota

[@zakuni6108]

What about gheil

[@garrettedwards9032]

The case and others couldn't go up the hill because they weight almost 2 tones more

[@walsh9354]

Garrett Edwards so what's to stop the sr80 from flipping back ? I kinda like that about the other machines......

[@jessiecox3664]

When the asv gets have way up the hill and really struggles

[@petep8828]

Also not going over the curb on the hill would help a bunch !!!!

[@wipout1]

2:37 useless operator getting towed out. use the bucket

[@thatrandomchannel8589]

That was the wrong size TL they should of used a 150

[@beaggyboy]

l surmise this machine is..,what,Australian?,NZ?,which?There was ASV "Aus"& something about"com.nz".Spectacular mechanical engineering feat,muc detail-proper accorded.Like to see tho,how it holds-up against the next batch of competitors,suc as Terex PT80,Kubota SLV75,Komatsu CK30?,Volvo MCT125C?& JCB 320T?(last 3s' capacity,not varified).By these proven technical prowess,yor Co.can evn move ahead to begin construct of an indiginous battle tank with equally estounding results,l'm sure,wont U,Cmon

[@FOGBURN74]

This is a biased video, all the other track machines were slightly slowed down just at the right time when climbing the sand hill, and when the ASV climbed, it was gassed all the way... BS Marketing video, no track loader is dominant in all areas...

[@OldCrowWhiskey]

Go Cat or Go home.

[@idontknow-zw8br]

Cat is good too

[@joshmarauder]

Id rather go with solid undercarriage...less parts less problems

[@OldCrowWhiskey]

JUNK!! I don't care how smooth they ride. IF you have ever worked on one, you will hate them. Try getting parts, try getting dealer support, try working on them, not just the under carriage, the entire machine. Ive been inside and out of these machines. I HATE THEM. the only good thing is they have excellent air conditioning. but they mount the AC compressor in a spot that isn't serviceable, unless you basically pull the the motor. A guy would go broke if he relied on them to get work done.

[@petter5721]

Volvo is now the best ever made!

[@RT-sh3dc]

it's a JCB

[@re49991]

Asv is junk

[@jfarmer9808]

My jd 326 tired or 333 tracked woulda stroked over that bump loaded or mt something ain't rite

[@bryanfertal2038]

why dont they try using the track from any of the other machines and put it on the asv. see how well it does then. to make they're argument more valid in my opinion would require all machines to use the same type track tread pattern

[@anthonylucibello67]

so whitch one will load a truck better not that asv

[@ringadigger6327]

id like to see all tests repeated with a full load in the bucket. who wants to fund an independent test?

[@Elswick17]

cat uses asv tracks so they would not be able to put them down

[@idontknow-zw8br]

And under carriage

[@BigmoRivera]

Great Equipment Machines...But I Do Not See A CAT, HUMM!!

[@AztecWarrior69_69]

That's what I was thinking. Why isn't the CAT represented?

[@flienlow6281]

Kubota?

[@blakemeeker3542]

I own a cat it looks smother than all of those combined

[@waynejohnson9855]

cat has the same track system as the asv

[@willieny8568]

Bigmo Rivera

[@dwaynehelmuth8013]

I think they need more power. A lot more power. And I need power and lifting not smooth ride

[@chalemi]

The AVS always seems to be hitting the hill faster than the others.

[@webbextremepyro5555]

listen im a bobc at guy but i would easaly pick cat over them

[@MyCatOlive13]

@skidooboy13 yeah but the bobcat had to goo thru the asv's ruts

[@310sj]

nothing beats ASV I MEAN NOTHING!

[@Bill37nj]

forget the pulling ... try pushing and lift capacity.

[@nyugwy]

This is a great video!!!!!!!!!

[@Andersonspeedco]

Try a cat mtl

[@TheBlackDeath71]

Talking about "fancy advertising" from other companies.. I was confused on what this video was advertising.. mini-track loader or car. It looked like a mini-track loaded but all it talked about was how smooth of a ride this machine is. If all your concerned about is a smooth ride, you left that in the parking lot outside the job site.With one of these machines it makes a lot more sense to put more weight in the rear because the weight of the machine will be more balanced once you pick up a load.

[@kevinmardirosian1870]

Look at Tracks not even close!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ASV is the KING because of tracks

[@beaggyboy]

Pretty impressiv,must l say it truly demonstrates as claimed,pulling ahead of all other long-time brand names,but there remains just one question,how duz it really fair against the Deere's reputed 'crete-block' power-lift capability?lf the SR80 nails evn this one,it is then officially"King of the Hill".Will we out here by any chance get to see this showdown between the two?As if Tyson was goin up against some other big names;Buster Douglas/Holyfield?Looking forward to catching that happen.

[@223TMD]

If I remember correctly CAT has a partial ownership in ASV, but dont quote me on that. That may be why you dont see CAT in any of the videos.

[@TheBlackDeath71]

And I try to avoid driving over any thing so I do not kick the track off the machine. But if I need to drive over a stump I would shear the stump off lower to the ground so I have plenty of clearance.

[@Raxarax]

wonder how much track design had to do with traction. I'm noticing the treads are cut deep on the ASV vs the competitors. And where is CAT?

[@yamaharidr450]

i think there all great machines. each company has its highs and low. but there is true on skid steer that is the BEST in every class.

[@cacaodeberghem]

Where is this machine in italy? Good undercarriage but the power engine is low.. Bye from Bergamo (north Italy)

[@wenandcasbra]

yeah, like Nicholas b says, "wheres the Cat?". Haven operated both, its the one I wanted to see competing !

[@skidooboy13]

I love how the bobcat gets stuck and the sr80 pulls it out then drives thru

[@dgb0000001]

Terex owns ASV, so the terex pt80 is an updated version of this machine

[@motorman2013]

any kind of operator would have never gotten stuck and when the takeuchi was climing the hill he swung back and forth to get stuck i run a tl150 tak and i can push sand up a pile and tilt over the other side before i realize how far up i am same thing goes for the kubota svl90-2 i ran those thing can push as long as you know how to do it

[@stevewilson9792]

Does anyone know if ASV has improved their dependability? Any one experienced good customer service? I like the capability as noted in video but all the old hand claim ASV breaks down too often

[@billmustardproductions9443]

That is the first time that I have heard they are not reliable. Mine has 3300 hours and has had one set of tracks changed and that is about it. Their posi track patents have made their machines so amasing. I can't see me ever buying another brand.

[@zakuni6108]

When u buy a skid steer you did not ask for a smooth ride

[@alexsmith4363]

It all depends on what you are doing

[@beaggyboy]

Jees,Tnx for the heads-up,dgb -1 million.

[@phutrieu4004]

nếu có con máy này cần gì đến máy xúc nữa

[@aegeusmax3646]

I would take any other tracked loader over an asv.

[@Loyal2Ford]

CAT already has AVS tracks on them.

[@SixMeter]

Where is the Komatsu CK-30?

[@guypatts494]

How much can the rc 30 pull

[@FixItStupid]

How come you did not test it against the Caterpillar Machine overall good video good post thank you

[@guypatts494]

How much can rc 30 pull

[@petep8828]

Higher rpms the asv was running

[@jimseidel3577]

Are they sold in the US?

[@JRS2248]

nice I want one.

[@stevenward1310]

impressive

[@silver4415]

Nice

[@nbegolka]

where is the CAT?

[@idontknow-zw8br]

It’s almost the same machine just different cab and engine
