ASV offers its Yanmar-engine powered RT-50 Posi-Track loader for lifting, material transferring and loading on construction sites. The machine provides 53.8 hp during use, up a full 8% from the previous model. The RT-50 also offers serviceability, allowing owners to have the Yanmar engine serviced at ASV dealers.
The Yanmar-powered RT-50 provides construction-grade performance in a small package and is for work in tight spaces, such as for rental, landscaping, construction, snow clearing and more.
“We often hear from customers that our RT-50 is the perfect blend of performance and mobility. Now, with the additional horsepower and convenience features, that performance factor is dialed to eleven,” said Buck Storlie, Yanmar Compact Equipment North America product manager. “And that’s before even mentioning the world-renowned reliability of the Yanmar engine.”
Performance
The repowered RT-50 features a 53.8-hp Tier 4, three-cylinder turbo charged Yanmar engine. The machine has pushing and digging power thanks to ASV’s Posi-Power system. The compact track loader has a width of 58.5 in. with a 9.1-ft. lift height, as well as offers a 1,400-lb. rated operating capacity and a 7.1-mph top speed.
The RT-50’s industry standard quick attach fits a variety of attachments. New to the machine is an optional hydraulic quick attach that allows operators to change attachments from the cab. The loader’s compact size allows it to be towed behind a 1/2-ton pickup truck.
Variable auxiliary hydraulic flow comes standard and the machine can operate at a high auxiliary circuit flow rate, powered by 13.3 gpm of pump capacity and 3,000 psi of system pressure. ASV eliminates belt servicing through the use of a direct drive pump. This, along with the machine’s large line sizes and hydraulic coolers, transfers flow and pressure directly to the attachment to help prevent power loss.
The RT-50 is tested to operate at full load 100% of the time in ambient temperatures from -40°F up to 118°F.
Serviceability
The RT-50’s Yanmar engine can be serviced at ASV dealers. The ability to maintain the engine through ASV’s network of dealers gives customers more options when engine maintenance is required on a Yanmar engine.
The RT-50 features a rear-tilting hood with access to maintenance points, including filters, oil and fuel tank reservoirs, hydraulic and water separator drains and the battery.
The compact track loader is built with a heavy-duty frame, drive table and axles. The RT-50 features upgraded wiring harness routing for durability. The drive hose routing and chassis sealing are designed for reduced rubbing, creating fewer line breaks. With metal-face seals on the front and back, the drive hubs do not require maintenance for the life of the machine. An optional bumper or bumper and limb riser can be added for hood protection in tough applications, such as rental or brush cutting.
