“With the Yanmar-powered RT-40, we are doubling down on the machine’s performance, reliability, and comfort, as well as making it easier for our customers to service the engine at ASV dealers. The RT-40 is already a staple due to its ability to bring more power and productivity to limited-space work that may otherwise have required a fence removal or needed to be done by hand,”

said Buck Storlie, ASV Holdings Inc. product manager.

Power and Productivity

The repowered RT-40 includes a more powerful new 38.2-horsepower Tier 4, 3-cylinder Yanmar engine­. The compact track loader allows contractors and homeowners to get more done in a day, featuring a 48.3-inch width, an 8.4-foot lift height, a 931 rated operating capacity, and a 7.1 mph top speed.

The machine also boasts high tractive effort, exceptional pushing, and digging power thanks to ASV’s Posi-Power system. The RT-40’s quick attach fits a variety of attachments and works with an optional adaptor plate for full-sized or walk-behind/stand-on loader attachments. An idler wheels full-metal-face seal package increases the ROC to 1,008 pounds. In addition, the loader’s compact size allows it to be conveniently towed behind a 1/2-ton pickup truck.

The RT-40 comes standard with the variable auxiliary hydraulic flow and can operate efficiently at a high auxiliary circuit flow rate, powered by 13.3-GPM of pump capacity and 3,000 psi of system pressure. Labor-intensive belt servicing is eliminated thanks to ASV’s signature use of a direct drive pump. This, along with the machine’s large line sizes and hydraulic coolers, transfer more flow and pressure directly to the attachment to help prevent power loss.

A highly efficient cooling system allows operators to get more out of their machines. The RT-40 is tested to operate at full load 100% of the time in ambient temperatures from -40 up to 118 F.

Serviceability and Reliability

The RT-40’s Yanmar engine can be serviced at ASV dealers. Yanmar engines are renowned for their longevity, and the ability to maintain it through ASV’s network of dealers gives customers more convenient options when engine maintenance is required.

Additionally, the machine is designed so operators can spend less time servicing it and more time productively on the job site. Its rear-tilting hood offers easy access to maintenance points, including filters, oil, and fuel tank reservoirs, hydraulic and water separator drains, and the battery.

The loader is built with a heavy-duty frame, drive table, and axles. It features a new wiring harness routing for additional durability. In addition, the drive hose routing and chassis sealing are designed for reduced rubbing, fewer line breaks, and boosted hose longevity. Metal-face seals on the front and back ensure the drive hubs do not require maintenance for the life of the machine. An optional bumper or bumper and limb riser can help protect the machine in tough applications, such as rental applications.

ASV stands behind the reliability of its Posi-Track loaders with an industry-leading 2-year, 2,000-hour warranty. The warranty includes the industry’s first and only no-derailment guarantee and covers the tracks for the entire warranty period.

Comfort and Ease of Operation

ASV brought bigger comfort to the compact cab of the repowered RT-40. Entry and exit are easier and operators have more hip room due to the new single-sided lap bar, similar to that on the larger MAX-Series models. Partially adjustable armrests and a tall cab improve comfort for operators of different sizes. The cab is also pressurized, resulting in a cleaner in-cab environment. Optional all-weather or cold weather cabs include heat and air conditioning. ASV also offers additional comfort features, including a cup holder, phone mount, and DC outlet.

The RT-40 offers a safer and more productive alternative to similar-sized walk-behind and stand-on skid-steer loaders. Its cab features rollover and falling object protection, sheltering operators from outside elements with available enclosed configurations, and eliminating the fatigue that comes withstanding.

Operation is easy and intuitive, thanks to a new 4.3-inch color display and standard hydraulic joystick controls putting full control of the machine at the operator’s fingertips. A new drive transmission allows for more precise control and fine-tuned operation.

The machine also includes visibility improvements over its predecessor. A new frameless front door includes a floor-to-ceiling glass area, allowing operators to better see their work and attachments. The cab’s large side and rear windows provide additional lines of sight. This is further improved by the bright rear LED light and adjustable front pedestal lighting. An optional backup camera is available to replace the standard rearview mirror for additional convenience and visibility.

Posi-Track Benefits

While many compact track loader designs use the same chassis for their compact track loaders as their skid steers, ASV designs its patented Posi-Track and skid-steer loaders independently to provide customers with the highest performance from each machine. The RT-40’s dedicated frame results in 10.8-inch ground clearance, higher than any walk-behind or stand-on loader, as well as many larger machines. The unit can easily travel over rocks, logs, stumps, and other obstacles with less risk of getting hung up.

ASV’s Posi-Track system features a flexible track and an open-rail and internal positive drive-sprocket undercarriage, allowing for more traction, longer wear life, and faster, more convenient undercarriage cleaning. Posi-Track loaders also have a large number of ground contact points, spreading the machine’s weight evenly. As a result, the RT-40 features an industry-low 3.5 psi ground pressure, reducing the risk of damage to turf. Optional smooth turf tracks minimize the risk of damage underfoot even further. The low ground pressure also translates to more flotation and traction on steep, slippery, and wet ground, and enhanced control and pushing capabilities. The wide, flexible track maintains more contact with the ground than other designs, helping to virtually eliminate the risk of track derailment.

“Operators have been clamoring for a MAX-Series version of the RT-120, but we’re giving them something even better. The MAX-Series RT-135F is a premium machine right out of the gate. We took all the comforts of the MAX-Series and combined them with a machine that’s ready to go to battle. It’s faster, stronger, more productive, and is capable of keeping up with the ever-growing list of high-flow attachments used on today’s toughest jobs,”

said Buck Storlie, ASV Holdings Inc. product manager.

Power and Productivity

ASV held nothing back when designing the RT-135F. The machine’s Cummins engine boasts an industry-leading 132 horsepower. That, combined with a 50-GPM maximum auxiliary flow — also the industry’s highest — and an oversized auxiliary pump capable of 66 GPM, allows the RT-135F to transfer more engine power to the attachment with no sacrifices to machine performance. The extra 16 GPM within the pump means operators can run high-flow attachments such as mulchers at full speed while moving the loader without slowing down the tool. That directly translates to more productivity from the 50 GPM mulching head that is sold with the RT-135F. The attachment was developed with and is optimized for the machine.

Contractors can use the powerful machine longer with its new 52-gallon fuel tank — 22 gallons more than the RT-120. The extra fuel means operators have an increased ability to work all day without refueling.

Operators can lift more and be more productive with the RT-135F, thanks to its up to 4,150-pound rated operating capacity, 10-mph top speed, and 10.4-foot lift height. Contractors can further boost the operating capacity and reinforce the back of the machine with an optional rear bumper kit that extends over the tracks.

Premium In-Cab Experience

The RT-135F brings the hallmark MAX-Series benefits to forestry applications to provide the best possible operator experience. The new machine features the lineup’s premium 360-degree visibility. Standard LED lighting, optional side lighting, and new taillights make it even easier to see around the outside of the machine.

The compact track loader includes all the comforts of the MAX-Series as standard. Operators benefit from a roomier cab accessible to virtually all body types, a one-sided lap bar making exit and entry easier, and the industry’s most customizable seat and armrests. Additionally, dusty, debris-ridden forestry work is cleaner, quieter and more temperature stable with the RT-135F’s highly pressurized, all-weather cab

The RT-135F’s advanced, customizable controls allow for a premium operator experience. A state-of-the-art 7-inch touch-screen display provides vital monitoring tools, displays the view from the backup camera, and integrates with service history and schedules. It also allows for service scheduling, job management, passcode operator lockout, idle time tracking, and more. The in-cab experience is also enhanced through Bluetooth radio allowing operators to listen to music and take calls wirelessly.

Intuitive operator controls benefit operators of all skill levels and a dual throttle option — a MAX-Series feature — allows operation at a set RPM with the joystick controls and the ability to increase the RPM with the foot throttle without the need to adjust the dial.

Contractors can match the RT-135F to their skill level and needs with advanced operator control customization. An upgraded drive control system provides smoother, more responsive controls that can be adjusted to speed modes matching the operator’s experience level and preference. Operators can further optimize the machine for their attachment with adjustable high flow and flow sharing options.

Operator Safety

ASV built the frameless door with 3/4-inch polycarbonate with enough strength to allow the elimination of the cross beam — improving visibility over the RT-120. The rugged side panels are manufactured with 1/2-inch polycarbonate. A limb riser is also built-in for additional guarding. Because of the reinforced cab and high-strength polycarbonate, the RT-135F is the only compact track loader in the industry to meet the same safety standards as dedicated forestry equipment. These include operator protective structure, impact, falling object, and rollover ISO standards. In addition, the inclusion of a roof escape hatch helps to improve safety. ASV is the only manufacturer to include an escape hatch on its compact track loaders and skid steers.

Maximum Serviceability and Reliability

ASV custom-built the RT-135F for harsh forestry work. Guarding around the light and radiator improves durability. The hoods are now built from heavy-gauge steel, offering maximum protection to the engine area. An optional back screen adds additional protection.

Debris has fewer places to get in due to a fuel tank that intersects with the cab for a tighter seal. ASV designed the entire RT-135F to reduce debris ingestion, manufacturing the machine with limited openings and foam seals blocking exposed areas for a cleaner undercarriage and engine compartment. Sealed fuse panels keep vital components clean.

Operator maintenance is made easier with convenient maintenance features. The swing-out door and cooling systems provide access to filters and other daily checkpoints built with accessibility in mind. A larger top hood with a flat-screened opening improves over the previous ribbed design for simple cleaning. Ease-of-cleaning and maintenance are increased with prop rods on the hoods and hinge-up air conditioning condenser. Tilting belly pans below the machine makes clearing out debris an easy task compared to some designs that either don’t include belly pans or include ones that are difficult to clean.

Upgraded Undercarriage

The RT-135F’s undercarriage is upgraded for maximum performance under the additional weight. Redesigned torsion axles are 20% stronger than their predecessors, bearing the weight of the machine while allowing the track to flex over obstacles and reduce impact to the operator and attachment. Reinforced wheel hubs and bearings enhance durability.

The stronger undercarriage retains its patented Posi-Track benefits. The RT-135F’s dedicated frame includes 15 inches of ground clearance, allowing it to travel over obstacles with less risk of getting caught. ASV’s Posi-Track system features a flexible track and an open-rail and internal positive drive-sprocket undercarriage, allowing for more traction, longer wear life, and faster, more convenient undercarriage cleaning.

The loaders’ large number of ground contact points combine with the RT-135F’s 20-inch-wide tracks to spread the machine’s weight for a 4.6 psi ground pressure. The low ground pressure allows more flotation and traction on steep, slippery, and wet ground, and enhanced control and pushing capabilities. The wide, flexible track also maintains more contact with the ground than other designs, helping to virtually eliminate the risk of track derailment.

ASV stands behind the reliability of its Posi-Track loaders with an industry-leading 2-year, 2,000-hour warranty. The warranty includes the industry’s first and only no-derailment guarantee and covers the tracks for the entire warranty period.

The non-Forestry version of the RT-135F, the RT-135, will also be available. The RT-135 is ideal for high-intensity applications and high-flow attachments in a variety of industries, including dirt work, general construction, landscaping, snow clearing, and more.

The MAX-Series line was first introduced with compact track loaders in mid-2020, giving operators a premium experience to match the machines’ impressive performance capabilities. Like the tracked machines, the skid steers benefit from a new, next-generation cab available with industry-leading 360-degree visibility, a roomier operator area, a more comfortable seat, a new high-tech touch-screen display and more. MAX-Series skid steers also feature proven ASV benefits, including reliability, rated operating capacities, departure angles, breakout force, hydraulic performance, ground clearance, speed, ease of serviceability, cooling packages and more.

“We’ve already heard great things from customers and dealers about the MAX-Series compact track loaders,”

said Buck Storlie, ASV product line manager.

“The launch was incredibly successful — ultimately leading us to boost production capacity by 30% earlier this year to keep up with demand. We’re excited to give operators the option to achieve that same level of premium experience in a skid steer. The improved comfort, visibility and ease-of-use mean happier operators and easier workdays.”

Next-Generation Cab

MAX-Series operators benefit from premium 360-degree visibility with the ability to see their surroundings more clearly with standard LED lighting, optional side lighting, all-clear sides and a frameless door providing industry-leading floor to ceiling glass area — 52% more glass area in the optional enclosed cab compared to previous ASV models. That means high visibility and minimal obstructions to the operator’s line of sight, especially beneficial in tight areas or indoor work for which skid steers are commonly used.

 Operators can work longer days in comfort with the MAX-Series with a number of comfort and usability features available to be added to the basic configuration. An optional, new fully suspended seat helps make the cab accessible to virtually all body types. The seat is the most customizable in the industry, featuring adjustable four-way controls and arm rests, recline, slide, and weight. Additionally, a one-sided lap bar makes entry and exit easier. This comfort is further enhanced by a roomier cab, including up to 2 more inches width at the shoulders, 8 inches wider at the knees and up to 4.5 inches more foot room. In-cab experience is also enhanced through speaker and radio improvements, including available Bluetooth radio allowing operators to listen to music and take calls wirelessly.

Operators benefit from a cleaner, quieter and more temperature-stable work area with the optional highly-pressurized, all-weather cab. The optional pressurized cab’s improved seal helps repel noise, dust and debris and outside temperatures. An updated HVAC system allows for better overall circulation and defrosting capabilities within the cab.

The cab also features a number of reliability improvements, including a design that better protects electronics with fully sealed, water-tight wiring harnesses and fuse panels. ASV backs that reliability with its new 2-year/2,000-hour warranty.

Operator Experience

The MAX-Series improves ease-of-operation, service scheduling and job management with an optional state-of-the-art 7-inch touch-screen display. The screen includes vital monitoring tools, displays the view from the backup camera and integrates with service history and schedules. Job management features such as passcode operator lockout, idle time tracking and more are also available.

Operators of all skill levels will benefit from new, intuitive switch locations and operator controls. The controls improve convenience with a new dual throttle option, allowing operation at a set RPM with the joystick controls and the ability to increase the RPM with the foot throttle without needing to adjust the dial.

Protection

ASV didn’t stop at improved visibility with MAX-Series safety benefits. The machines include the industry’s first skid-steer roof escape hatch, allowing operators to quickly get out through the roof rather than through the back window and over a hot engine bay in emergency situations. Models also include rollover protection (ROPS) and reinforced windows for impact resistance. Additionally, ASV offers options for increased protection, including side screens, reinforced polycarbonate door, level 2 FOPS, and light guards.

Performance

ASV MAX-Series skid-steer loaders provide maximum performance with optimal ground clearance, serviceability, departure angle and power.

The radial-lift, 75-horsepower RS-75 includes a 2,600-pound rated operating capacity and a 5,845-pound breakout force. The vertical-lift VS-75 features a 5,920-pound breakout force and an impressive 3,500-pound-rated operating capacity for its 75 horsepower. The VS-75’s high capacity rivals many 95 to 100 horsepower units, giving operators the ability to have the fuel economy and reduced price of a lower horsepower machine but the performance of some of the largest skid steers out there.

Both models are better able to travel over obstacles without getting hung up thanks to 10.5 inches of ground clearance, more than 2 inches higher than any machine in their class. In addition, the purpose-built chassis improves performance while climbing hills resulting from a 24-degree departure angle.

The machines maximize serviceability with convenient and simple maintenance access. Swing-out door and cooling systems provide access to filters and other daily checkpoints for easy maintenance.

“We want our customers to have the best performance from their machines. These kits make it easy and convenient for them to achieve that through proper upkeep combined with OEM parts designed to keep the machine performing long term while avoiding costly repairs,”

said Buck Storlie, ASV product line manager.

The ASV Maintenance Kits include a hydraulic filter(s), an engine oil filter, fuel filter(s), and air filters. The packaged kits remove the guesswork from the process of replacing filters by including all required components in one package. This simplicity speeds up regular maintenance tasks and allows operators to get to work sooner. Additionally, the kits include labeling with instructions for ASV’s ELITE line of high-performance, heavy-duty lubricants. The engine oil, hydraulic oil, and grease products are extensively tested for use in optimizing ASV equipment and allow operators to do more work in more places.

“We don’t leave quality to chance at ASV. Not in our machines and not in our OEM tracks. Aftermarket track options may look similar, but they lack the thousands of hours of the vigorous testing we’ve put into our tracks. We have determined the perfect blend of materials to optimize our tracks for operators on the toughest jobs.”

said Buck Storlie, ASV product line manager.

ASV Tracks Improve Traction and Don’t Derail

ASV’s innovative OEM tracks allow operators to do more in more places through the use of best in class technology that achieves leading durability, flexibility, performance, and efficiency. The tracks maximize traction and the amount of track on the ground in dry, wet, and slippery conditions all year long through the use of an all-season bar-style tread pattern and a specially-formulated exterior tread. The high amount of ground contact combined with ASV’s Posi-Track undercarriage also virtually eliminates derailment.

ASV Tracks are Durable

The rubber tracks eliminate rusting and corrosion because they contain no steel cords. Durability is maximized through seven layers of embedded puncture, cut, and stretch-resistant material. Additionally, the track’s flexible reinforcements are capable of bending around obstacles that may otherwise snap cords on a steel-embedded version or an aftermarket option with fewer layers of reinforcement and lower quality material.

ASV Tracks are Reliable

ASV OEM tracks also extend reliability and maximum resistance to wear and tear through a specialized blend of rubber compounds specifically designed for tracks used in industrial conditions. The tracks are highly consistent thanks to a single-cure process that eliminates the seams and weak points found in some aftermarket tracks. Pre-stretched for a consistent length with minimal stretching, the track minimizes wear due to a patented lug design, assuring maximum sprocket engagement.

ASV Tracks Warranty

ASV genuine OEM tracks are backed by the company’s industry-leading 2-year/2,000-hour warranty. The warranty covers tracks for the entire period and includes the industry’s first and only no-derailment guarantee on new machines.
