The bright segment is what ASV RS-75 is rated to carry; the grey run past it is the rest of its tipping load. Bar length is tipping load drawn to the same scale on every machine on the site, so a short bar is a smaller machine and not a conservative rating.

ASV publishes no list price for this machine, and we found no dealer listing worth quoting, so there is no number here to give you. What we can say is what the machines around it cost: the middle half of the 14 wheeled machines within 15 per cent of its capacity list between $60,493 and $68,000. That is a fact about them, not a quote for this one.

ASV's radial-lift wheeled skid steer pairs a 74 hp Deutz diesel with a 2,600 lb rated capacity, trading the brand's rubber tracks for wheels and the running costs that come with them. It is aimed at owners who want ASV's cab and hydraulics on pavement and hard surfaces where a Posi-Track undercarriage would only wear out faster.

What owners report

Summarised from the sources listed below. Nothing here was tested by us.

Radial lift, wheels and a Deutz engine make this the plainest machine ASV sells, and that is the point of it. It is the dig-and-grade half of a two-model wheeled range, aimed at a contractor who wants the current ASV cab and service package on hard ground without paying for flotation.

The practical case is ground clearance and running cost. 10.5 inches under the frame with a 24-degree departure angle is genuinely above the wheeled class norm, and 5,845 lbs of breakout force from a 7,595 lb machine is real digging authority for the size. The 74 hp Deutz meets Tier 4 Final with no regeneration, no exhaust sensors and no diesel exhaust fluid, removing the emissions failures that fill complaint threads about rival machines. Service was designed for the owner rather than the dealer: drain plugs on every fluid, greaseable pin ends, swing-out access to filters and coolers. What you lose is the suspended, multi-bogie rubber-track undercarriage that is the reason ASV has a reputation at all - and with it the flotation, the ride quality and the ability to work wet ground that costs its owners real money in track sets.

It fits if you work yards, pavement and established sites, want a comfortable current-generation cab and a simple drivetrain, and have an ASV dealer close enough to be useful. If soft ground is any part of your week, a Posi-Track machine or a conventional CTL is the better spend. Since there is no published price, take quotes from more than one dealer and against the wheeled machines you would otherwise buy, confirm whether the higher-flow auxiliary circuit is on your quote, and think hard about trade-in - a wheeled ASV is an unusual machine in a market that prices ASV on its tracks.

What owners like

  • Wheels remove the entire Posi-Track running-cost argument - no track sets at $4,000-$6,000, no bogie wheels or bearings, and no end-of-day undercarriage wash-out.
  • 10.5 inches of ground clearance and a 24-degree departure angle are more than two inches better than the wheeled class norm, which is what keeps the frame off curbs, windrows and trailer ramps.
  • 5,845 lbs of breakout force from a 7,595 lb machine is strong for the class, and radial geometry puts that force where digging and grading actually happen rather than at full lift height.
  • The 74 hp, 2.9-litre Deutz needs no regeneration, no exhaust sensors and no diesel exhaust fluid, so the emissions system is simply not a failure mode on this machine.
  • Drain plugs on the chain cases, hydraulic tank, radiator and engine oil pan, plus zerks on the end of every pin, make routine service a job you can do in a yard rather than on a lift.

What owners complain about

  • A radial lift path trades reach at height for breakout down low, so loading tall dump truck sides is less clean than with the vertical-lift VS-75 built on the same frame.
  • Buying a wheeled ASV means giving up the suspended undercarriage the brand is known for - in mud, snow and on soft turf this has no advantage over any other skid steer.
  • The 2,600 lb rated capacity is quoted at 50% of tipping load, normal for wheeled skid steers but not the 35% basis ASV uses on its own track machines, so the two numbers are not comparable.
  • ASV publishes no list price and its configurator ends at a dealer quote, leaving nothing posted to negotiate against.
  • The auxiliary circuit is single-speed as standard with higher flow optional, so the base machine will not run everything the marketing photographs show.
  • With roughly 200 ASV dealer locations, most of them oriented around track loaders, both parts support and the used market for a wheeled ASV are thin - and resale on the brand already runs behind the volume names.

What buyers ask

Radial or vertical lift - which should I buy?
Radial, as here, keeps the load closer to the machine through the arc and puts more force into digging and grading, where mid-size machines spend most of their hours. Vertical lift, as on the VS-75 built from the same frame, reaches further out at full height and loads tall trucks more cleanly. If truck loading is a daily job, pay for vertical; if you dig and grade, radial is the better tool and usually the cheaper one.
Does it use the Posi-Track undercarriage?
No. This is a conventional wheeled skid steer on tyres. ASV's suspended, multi-bogie rubber-track undercarriage - the torsion axles, flexing bogie wheels and all-rubber tracks that give the brand its flotation and ride reputation - is only on its compact track loaders. On soft ground this machine performs like any other skid steer.
What does a wheeled ASV save over a Posi-Track in running costs?
The undercarriage bill, which is the single largest variable cost on a track machine. A track set runs roughly $4,000 to $6,000 every 1,500 to 2,000 hours, and underneath it are bogie wheels, idlers, bearings and seals that owners consistently describe as expensive at dealer list. Tyres are a fraction of that, and there is no daily wash-out discipline to maintain.
Why is the rated capacity quoted at 50%?
Fifty percent of tipping load is the standard convention for wheeled skid steers, so this is not a brand trying to flatter itself. It does mean you cannot line the 2,600 lb figure up against a compact track loader's rated capacity, because ASV quotes its track machines at 35%. Compare tipping loads directly for a like-for-like reading.
What is the dealer situation like?
ASV runs on the order of 200 dealer locations, against 600-plus for Cat, and those dealers stock and train around the track loaders. Owners' most repeated piece of advice about this brand is to confirm a parts counter within about an hour's drive before buying anything. That advice applies doubly to a model line that is only two machines deep.

The ASV RT-65-1C is a mid-frame radial-lift Posi-Track loader with a 67.1 hp Yanmar turbo-diesel, a 2,000 lb rated capacity, and the brand's suspended rubber-track undercarriage. It's the volume seller in ASV's range - sized and priced against the Bobcat T595-class machines but built for mud, snow, and soft ground where they struggle.
