Speed: ASV vs Competitive Loaders

Machine speed ratings are often a calculated or theoretical speed based on engineering principles, and many don’t live up to the hype. With ASV, what you see in the spec sheet is what you get in the real world.

Wow the Bobcat operator was totally sandbagging at the start of that “race”

[@starpilot101]

Well, this video was very helpful on telling me which one is best for modding into a tank.

[@JoshPhoenix11]

Like a Mini Kill-Dozer! Or Kill-Skid. Or Kill-CAT

[@cat416bbackhoe4]

Had a 99 ASV HD4500 the thing was a beast , could push or lift most anything we ran into . The hard pipe cracked in the belly pan losing pressure so i swapped them for hose and there was no stopping it .

[@Anne_Frank00]

Let me guess. You kept the CAT in low gear?

[@legendaryexplorer8119]

Ya more then likely lol

[@ASVCompactEquipment]

Hi Colton, that certainly wouldn't make for a very good race! Thanks for watching. In many cases the ASV machine in low gear is faster than other loaders in high gear.

[@jerry2422]

All are in low gear except asv

[@jaxturner7288]

I’m getting a new CTL this fall and looking into the different options, from what I’ve seen the ASV products themselves look like quality pieces and I would actually consider trying out something from their lineup, but after watching all these obviously biased and rigged comparison videos they have put out, there is no way I could consider buying one.

[@Anne_Frank00]

@@jaxturner7288 You think this is bad....check out the John Deere one. These idiots here chose a 279D with the closed dozer style tracks, against there open stye. The 257D would out perform this ASV in a heartbeat.

[@Bill37nj]

Not good for septics system when traveling in stones and loading, i had one Cat with ASV and the rubber on boogie wheels just got torn apart. great track system but the welds break where the rubber shock is located and connected to the axle leading to the other side. hydraulic line rub against the body where it enter the cab resulting hydraulic fluid leaking all over the place. they may have made some changes but this was a Cat with ASV undercarriage Bought a 2015 new holland c232 and the 1 hour of running time the small coolant line blew apart due to crimp type clamp.The new holland drive feed hose rubs on the floor causing metal jacket to wear away resulting another hydraulic blow out with fluid all over homeowners property. Changing hose no big deal but take track off.

The new ASV are are nice machines I'm currently running a John Deere 333G there are no asv dealers in Phoenix.

[@leopic501]

I have a bobcat s205 17 years old still running it works great i like it because of the power from a 60 inch machine and lift I also have a s595 and its ok I like it overall not to impressed with it but it does the job anyone that has a bobcat I suggest welding up that 3/4 inch hole on bottom of skid plate and drilling some small holes instead i had a 3/8 rebar poke my tank , and the only way to fix that is to pull the motor at the tune of $5300 dollars ouch .

Takis are fast but the track system is garbage. Sidehilling with a full bucket is a nightmare. It's fine with brand new tracks but after a month you have to crab walk it to keep the tracks from peeling off.

[@jdgingerich7806]

@@RJ1999x actually i have, i ran a 200hr c232 that was owned by one of the contractors at one of our jobsites and i despise that machine. #1 thing was that it had plastic joysticks, they didnt feel at all quality. #2 the joysticks are not attached to the seat and its suspension system so it doesnt move up and down with the seat when your on rough surfaces. Makes for a harder time controlling it smoothly. #3 door design, its a poor design and i couldnt see the corners of my bucket very well #4 it forced you to wear a seatbelt to operate it. #5 it had no passcode, button start. And no key to lock the door with. #6 the engine is mounted front to back instead of side to side (like BOBCAT) and it made it hard to complete even simple tasks like changing the oil filter or accesing the battery. There were afew other small things i didnt like but i cannot remember what they were. And that is why i dont agree with you that they are king of skidloaders.

[@nickk6633]

Bobcat operator was trash.. we have two S750s and a T595. Way better than made out to be

[@ASVCompactEquipment]

Hi Nick, we did this test several times and found the Bobcat loader had a slower rate of acceleration. In this application the engine tended to bog during starts, and the machine accelerated slowly. This showed up again as major factor when truck loading, an application requiring the machine to go from forward to reverse frequently. Its slow acceleration was one reason for the results seen here.

[@taylorjeffords1719]

If it bogs on acceleration the fuel or air filter is plugged.

Get asv if you want to replace rubber coated idlers and have the tracks skipping or jamming all the time. Rubber coated shit doesn't belong on an undercarriage. Asv is shit.

Yeah, kinda like the Bobcat track. Rubber coated chains that rust out and separate and wreck the track. Very good point and astute observation!
