said Regan Meyer, Yanmar Compact Equipment North America marketing manager.

Yanmar Compact Equipment will showcase its next-generation ViO17-1E mini excavator, released in August. The recently updated ViO17-1E offers a 4,023-pound operating weight and 14.5-horsepower engine and is best suited for residential work, landscaping and small general construction projects. Like all ViO (Victory over Zero) models, the ViO17-1E features true zero trail swing technology for maximum workplace performance in tight spaces. Yanmar Compact Equipment will also exhibit the company’s SV40 model developed specifically for the North American market, as well as the ViO35-6A.

ASV’s two new Yanmar-powered models are making their tradeshow debut: the recently introduced RT-50 and RT-40. Both models feature new Yanmar engines that can be serviced at ASV dealers. The machines have also been updated with some of the comfort and visibility features of the larger MAX-Series line. The new Yanmar-powered RT-50 is paired with a powerful 53.8-horsepower Tier 4, 3-cylinder turbocharged engine and utilizes ASV’s Posi-Power system for high tractive effort and exceptional pushing and digging power. The compact track loader allows operators to be more productive with high-performance thanks, in part, to a nimble 58.5-inch width, a 9.1-foot lift height, a 1,400-lbs rated operating capacity and a 7.1 mph top speed. The repowered RT-40 compact track loader includes a more powerful, new 38.2-horsepower Tier 4, 3-cylinder Yanmar engine­ and is outfitted with ASV’s Posi-Power system like its RT-50 counterpart.

ASV’s MAX-Series RT-135F and RT-75 loaders will be featured at Equip Expo for the first time. These models include a next-generation cab featuring premium 360-degree visibility, a more spacious operator area, a fully adjustable seat, a new state-of-the-art touchscreen display and more. The new RT-135 Forestry Posi-Track^® loader is the industry’s most powerful compact track loader, featuring 10% more horsepower than the previous titleholder it replaces, ASV’s RT-120. This additional power allows it to maintain best-in-class machine performance while operating high-flow attachments.

“Our loaders fill a critical niche for landscaping, ag, construction, snow removal, and rock quarries. For contractors, having reliable, high-performing machines in this size class is a crucial component to being successful,”

said Jeff Pate, director of sales for Yanmar Compact Equipment North America.

Performance

Yanmar Compact Equipment’s wheel loaders are engineered for high performance in a compact package. Operating weights for the line range from 8,422 lbs. to 15,432 lbs. The loaders feature bucket capacities ranging from 0.65 cubic yards to 2.35 cubic yards and lift capacities of 7,451 pound-force to 15,962 pound-force. Fast travel speeds, ranging from 11.8 mph to 22 mph, improve job site productivity.

The loaders have intuitive controls and include features that allow for easy operation, such as fixed travel speed mode, fully automatic accelerator mode, and auxiliary hydraulics with proportional control. Operators of all skill levels can easily manage the intuitive, multi-function joysticks.

The V4-7, V8, and V10 are equipped with electronically controlled, Tier 4 Final Yanmar diesel engines, which offer outstanding power with minimized fuel consumption. The V12 features a Deutz diesel engine that is also Tier 4 Final compliant.

Efficiency

Hydraulic quick couplers allow for fast and easy changing of attachments. Operational efficiency is further enhanced by parallel-kinematics on the V8, V10, and V12, which allow operators to lift loads with precision, without the need for constant readjustment of the load angle. As the most compact loader in the line, V4-7 has a z-bar for higher breakout forces, but the machine also features an auto-leveler mode for applications where it is more beneficial to maintain a consistent level bucket. Additionally, the V4-7 offers ECO Mode, a setting that reduces the motor speed to allow for even lower fuel consumption.

Comfort

The Yanmar Compact Equipment compact wheel loaders bring operator comfort to the forefront with a second-to-none cab experience that includes high visibility, a suspension seat, and full climate control. All models feature two doors for easy entry from either side and maximum ventilation. The machines offer smooth off-road operation thanks to an oscillating rear axle that securely transmits traction force to uneven ground. This keeps the bucket level in operation and reduces operator fatigue.

The V8, V10, and V12 come standard with enclosed cabs designed to reduce operator fatigue. Cabs are rubber-mounted for a smoother ride and feature a comfortable seat with lumbar support, cushioning and an extra high backrest. The V4-7 is available in both open- and closed-cab configurations.

Reliability

Backing up their claim of maximum reliability, Yanmar Compact Equipment offers an industry-leading 3-year/3,000-hour bumper-to-bumper warranty on its entire line of compact wheel loaders. A central lubrication system is available as an option for the V8, V10, and V12. This option provides constant lubrication while the machine is running, virtually eliminating the risk of contamination.

Maintenance Kits that provide common maintenance and wear part replacement items conveniently in one place are available for all compact wheel loaders in the line. The loaders feature maximum serviceability, with convenient access to service items allowing for long maintenance intervals.

“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.

“We know compact excavators are a multi-functional tool around the job site. They are used for everything from lifting and placing materials such as concrete barriers, to unloading equipment such as portable generators. This utility hook adds ease to our customers’ work and minimizes the potential for damage to both the machine and attachment, which, at the end of the day, increases productivity and reduces machine downtime,”

said Frank Gangi, Yanmar Compact Equipment North America product manager of attachments.

Ideal for lifting heavy objects, the utility hook improves equipment longevity and overall safety by providing a dedicated, engineered lifting point built into the mechanical linkage. This provides a stronger position from which to lift, rather than putting the strain on the end of the arm or the attachment. A strap or chain draped around an attachment or a bucket tooth, for example, can cause warping or risk of failure to the attachment or equipment since it may not be rated for such concentrated loads in that area.

The Stowable Utility Hook is designed by Yanmar for Yanmar excavators, offering customers the peace of mind that comes with an OEM-supported product. The utility hook is engineered with the same reliability and performance standards customers have come to expect with Yanmar equipment.

The hook features a multi-directional design that allows it to swing in each direction, as well as 360-degree swivel movement. This provides operators optimal lifting position as well as the ability to easily position lifted objects when setting them into place. The swivel hook conveniently stows out of the way with an easy-to-operate lock pin when not in use. Maintenance on the utility hook is nearly effortless thanks to a single recessed Zerk fitting.

The hook can be retrofitted onto all Yanmar compact excavator models from the ViO25 up to the SV100. Installation can be completed in as little as 20 minutes.
