ASV has introduced the VT-80 mid-sized compact track loader for construction. Powered by a 74-hp Tier-4 Final Yanmar engine, the 8,955-lb. VT-80 provides power and performance and offers a 2,800-lb. 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.”
Performance and Operation
The VT-80 is part of ASV’s redesigned line of mid-sized compact track loaders. The machine features ASV’s patented Posi-Track undercarriage with dual-level suspension for traversal over tough terrain. The 7-in. color touch display supports operation, allowing operators to monitor machine specs, service history, schedules and more. Automated features like the return-to-dig and work tool positioner functions are designed for repetitive tasks.
Standard hydraulic flow has been increased to 24.7 gpm, while high flow of 34.3 gpm can be utilized for attachments. The cab of the MAX-Series model features 360-degree visibility and a pressurized cab to keep dust and debris out.
The machine is designed with a smaller overall machine footprint compared to previous models, allowing work in tight spaces. Combined with the performance and agility of ASV’s Posi-Track rubber track undercarriage, the compact track loader can reach remote jobsites.
