ASV Unleashes VT-80 and VT-80 Forestry Models

 

ASV recently introduced the VT-80 and VT-80 Forestry mid-sized compact track loaders. These vertical lift machines are designed to give operators the tools they need to excel in landscaping, construction and forestry applications. Powered by a 74-hp Tier-4 final Yanmar engine, the 4,062-kg VT-80 and 4,375-kg VT-80 Forestry provide the best power and performance in their class and offer a 1,270-kg rated operating capacity.

“The ASV VT-80 and VT-80 Forestry are built to give operators a high-performance machine they can operate comfortably throughout the year,” said Peter Ovrebo, director of product management for Yanmar Compact Equipment North America. “Whether you are moving earth, loading trucks, or forestry mulching, these new machines and their reliable Yanmar engines provide operators with the power and performance needed to tackle any job.”

Both the VT-80 and VT-80 Forestry are part of ASV’s redesigned line of mid-sized compact track loaders. They feature ASV’s patented Posi-Track® undercarriage with dual-level suspension for smooth traversal over tough terrain. The 7’’ color touch display enhances ease of operation, allowing operators to monitor vital machine specs, service history, schedules and more. Automated features like the return-to-dig and work tool positioner functions boost efficiency, especially when repetitive tasks are involved.

These new models set a new standard for operators by equipping them with essential tools to get the most out of their attachments. Standard hydraulic flow has been increased to 93.5 l/min while high flow of 130 l/min can be utilized. No matter the season, operators will stay comfortable inside the cab of these MAX-Series models featuring premium 360° visibility, enhanced ergonomics, and a pressurized cab to keep dust and debris out.

These new machines are designed with a slightly smaller overall machine footprint compared to previous models, allowing them to work in tighter spaces. Combined with the performance and agility of ASV’s Posi-Track rubber track undercarriage, the compact track loaders can reach jobsites that other machines cannot.

Forestry Applications
Designed as an entry-level mulching machine, the VT-80 Forestry excels in both forestry and landscaping applications. This model takes on all the advanced features of the VT-80 and adds specialized capabilities for forestry and land-clearing operations. It includes a heavy-duty forestry package, which protects critical components from damage by debris and flying wood chips. The reinforced door and polycarbonate windows provide extra protection for the operator, ensuring safety in the most challenging conditions.

Additionally, the VT-80 Forestry comes equipped with a high-capacity cooling system to manage the increased heat generated during forestry applications. The hydraulic system supports forestry-specific attachments, such as mulchers and stump grinders, making the VT-80 Forestry an indispensable tool for professionals in the forestry industry.

The ASV brand built its reputation on innovation as the creators of America’s original compact track loader. Now powered by Yanmar and its 100-year history of proven reliability, these ASV compact track loaders combine the power, performance, comfort, and serviceability needed for every jobsite.
