ASV, all-purpose and all-season compact track loaders and skid steers, introduces the new generation RT-65 Posi-Track® loader, now powered by Yanmar. The compact track loader is redesigned in every facet over its predecessor and brings numerous productivity, ease-of-use and performance benefits, especially with the inclusion of a Yanmar engine. The midsize machine is ideal for contractors and owner-operators in the landscaping and construction markets.
“We’re committed to providing increasingly durable and high-performing equipment to our customers, and this new RT-65 is a significant addition,” said Peter Ovrebo, product management director — North America, Yanmar Compact Equipment North America.
ASV’s RT-65 is a brand-new radial-lift machine with new hydraulics, engine, controls, wiring, pumps, hoses, frame and more. These improvements maximize power from the compact track loader’s 67.1-horsepower Tier 4 Final Yanmar diesel engine and optional 26.7 gpm high flow. A highly efficient hydraulic system and direct drive pumps transfer more flow and pressure directly to the attachment, resulting in a 2,000-pound rated operating capacity and 5,714-pound tipping load. Additionally, a highly efficient cooling system and optimized hydraulics allow the compact track loader to operate at 100 per cent load, 100 per cent of the time up to 118 degrees Fahrenheit.
