Yanmar Compact Equipment North America
Grand Rapids, MN. (August 6, 2024) - ASV, an industry-leading brand of all-purpose and all-season compact track loaders and skid steers, introduces the VT-75 Posi-Track® compact track loader. Powered by a Yanmar engine, the vertical-lift, 74.3-horsepower machine excels in at-height work, loading trucks and many other tasks in construction and landscaping applications. Filled with a variety of comfort and productivity features and technologies, the midframe compact track loader provides a premium experience while allowing operators to complete more work in more places.
"The VT-75 truly allows our ASV customers to do more," said Peter Ovrebo, Product Management Director - North America, Yanmar Compact Equipment North America. "It fits right into the heart of the construction market where operators can make the best use of it. With the combination of its high rated operating capacity, loading capabilities, reliable Yanmar engine and ASV performance, it's a valuable asset for operations big and small."
ASV's well-known Posi-Track rubber track undercarriage provides VT-75 operators with unbeatable traction and mobility all year round. The system includes a suspension made up of two independent torsion axles per undercarriage. These provide a smooth ride over all types of terrain and contribute to a high speed of 9.1 mph. The flexible track and suspension also mean maximized ground contact and - as a result - more traction and pushing power even in steep, wet, muddy and slippery conditions. A ground pressure of 4.5 psi minimizes turf damage and contributes to more flotation in tricky conditions. The ability to transit over a variety of conditions is emphasized with a leading 12-inch ground clearance, providing easy passage over large obstacles with less risk of getting stuck.
The VT-75 is highly maneuverable and precise thanks to various optional speed and movement-related features. The model accomplishes grading and tight-space work with ease thanks to auto 2-speed technology, which provides a seamless transition between low- and high-speed modes. Speed-sensitive ride control adds to that by improving material retention at higher speeds but switching off automatically when conducting slower-moving tasks.
Efficiency is a key feature of the new model. The efficient hydraulic and cooling systems allow the machine to work in more conditions at maximum power, meaning the VT-75 can operate at 100% load, 100% of the time from minus-40 F to 118 F ambient temperatures.
Operators work in comfort during longer days with intuitive and ergonomic electronic controls. A 7-inch color display consolidates various switches as well as improves access to monitoring tools, the view of the optional backup camera and the ability to keep track of service schedules and history. Additionally, a fully adjustable and suspended seat accommodates more body types, improving comfort.
ASV offers its Yanmar SmartAssist telematics system as an optional feature to change how operators experience their equipment. Machine owners can make use of features ranging from being notified of errors remotely to real-time operational status updates and daily work reports. Integrated theft protection helps secure owners' investments, allowing users to set a range from a specific location and trigger an alert if the machine moves outside of that range.
Additionally, the VT-75 is designed to last. ASV backs that statement with a 2-year, 2,000-hour warranty that includes the industry's only no-derailment guarantee, as well as covers the tracks for the entire warranty period - something other manufacturers don't offer.
