The new dealers and dealer locations are an indication of ASV’s quickly increasing presence in North America. The dealers will offer ASV’s full line of Posi-Track® compact track loaders, featuring best-in-class rated operating capacity, cooling systems and hydraulic efficiency. The line features the newly launched MAX-Series loaders, including the RT-65, VT-70 High Output, RT-75 and RT-75 Heavy-Duty. The new machines feature industry leading comfort, visibility and overall operator experience. The line-up also includes the industry’s most compact track loaders, the RT-25, RT-40, and RT-50, and the industry’s most powerful CTL, the RT-120 Forestry. The dealers will also feature ASV’s skid-steer loaders.

“We depend on our dealers to not only sell our equipment but also to represent the ASV brand in everything they do. We are excited to have found new partners whose values align with ours as we continue to expand customers’ access to ASV equipment.”

said Jeff Pate, director of sales for the ASV brand.

Buck Storlie, ASV Holdings Inc. product line manager, said:

“It is important to us that our partners’ values align with ours, and we really see that in Loftness. It’s why we worked so closely with them to make this specialized mulching head. The Battle Ax provides ASV customers the level of performance they need to get the most out of their machines.”

The two companies worked together to match the attachment with ASV machines. ASV and Loftness extensively tested The Battle Ax with the RT-75 HD and RT-120F to optimize specifications and features including hydraulic settings, gearing, backpressure, and more.

The Battle Ax gives contractors the ability to fell large standing trees, shave off large material, and complete forward and reverse mulching. The attachment applies everything Loftness learned with the company’s flagship Carbide Cutter G4 and takes it a step further. The signature shear bars and two-stage cutting chamber produce a finer mulch with fewer passes. The Battle Ax also includes the new Battle Ax rotor with built-in depth gauges. The depth gauges are carefully engineered to be less limiting than similar designs, improving productivity while optimizing the material feed rate to prevent the attachment from engaging too much material.

Like ASV machines, the Battle Ax is built with reliability in mind. The attachment includes premium strength steel housing for enhanced durability and a number of features that minimize moving parts and simplify maintenance. An adjustable push bar and skid shoes give operators maximum control.

“We’ve worked with ASV for a number of years and we’re excited that their customers have direct access to our Battle Ax. Extensive testing resulted in a unique attachment that pairs perfectly with ASV equipment’s unmatched hydraulic power, reliability, and performance.”

said Bill Schafer, Loftness product manager.

When combined with ASV’s RT-75 HD or RT-120F, the S-Series Battle Ax performs at maximum capacity thanks to the perfect pairing between the attachment and the loaders’ unmatched hydraulic system capacities and efficient cooling systems. These systems allow for operation even in high ambient temperatures with less risk of bogging down or overheating. In addition, ASV Posi-Track loaders’ advanced suspension and flexible tracks provide more operator comfort and maintain better control of cutting height and speed as a result of the tracks flexing over obstacles instead of rocking over them. The unique undercarriage design also virtually guarantees the tracks will stay on, even in demanding brush clearing applications. ASV backs that up with the industry’s first no-derailment guarantee.

The RT-75 HD and RT-120F include industry-leading enhanced operator protection, including a heavy-duty polycarbonate door, cross bracing, and reinforced windows on a falling object protective structure (FOPS) and rollover protection (ROPS) cab. The models also include metal guarding against brush and debris around key areas, such as lights, the AC condenser, and rear screen. The machines blow debris from mulching applications out of the engine compartment screens with a hydraulically driven, auto-reversing cooling fan. A full rear brush guard is also available as a factory-installed option.

The specialized Battle Ax is available through the ASV dealer network. Find your nearest dealer at www.asvi.com/find-a-dealer/. Learn more about the RT-75 HD and RT-120F at www.asvi.com and the Battle Ax at www.loftness.com.
