ASV VT-100 MAX
The ASV VT-100 MAX is the brand's large-frame vertical-lift Posi-Track loader, combining a 103.5 hp Yanmar turbo-diesel, 3,500 lb rated capacity, and 41 GPM high flow with the redesigned MAX-Series cab. It's the truck-loading, attachment-running flagship of ASV's vertical-lift line.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The 3,500 lb rated capacity and 132-inch hinge pin height put pallets and heavy loads over tall truck sides that stop mid-frame machines cold.
- ✓The 103.5 hp Yanmar turbo makes 291 ft-lbs of torque, giving mulchers and cold planers real authority when paired with the 41 GPM high-flow circuit.
- ✓The MAX-Series cab is a genuine step change for ASV - roomier, quieter, better sealed, with a modern display and creature comforts that finally match the price.
- ✓The suspended Posi-Track undercarriage floats this 10,800 lb machine over ground conditions that swallow rigid-undercarriage rivals of the same weight.
- ✓Ride quality at speed is the best in the 100 hp class, letting operators keep material in the bucket across rough sites.
- ✓MAX-Series touches like bucket positioning control and dual-direction return-to-position speed up repetitive loading cycles.
- ✓Dedicated coolers and direct-drive pumps sustain continuous high-flow work in summer heat where competitors derate or overheat.
- ✓The 2-year/2,000-hour warranty with ASV's no-derailment track guarantee covers the undercarriage that skeptics worry about most.
Cons
- ✗Undercarriage maintenance is multiplied on a machine this heavy - wheels, bearings, and rubber tracks all wear faster under 10,000+ lbs.
- ✗Track replacement costs are substantial, and abrasive or rocky ground shortens track life dramatically.
- ✗ASV's dealer network is thin for a flagship-priced machine, so many buyers are far from warranty support.
- ✗Resale lags the Cat 299/Kubota SVL97 crowd because used buyers discount the unfamiliar undercarriage.
- ✗At 23 GPM the standard flow is ordinary - you need the high-flow option to justify this machine, which pushes the price six figures.
- ✗The Yanmar 4TNV94FHT is newer to North America, and parts plus service familiarity lag Cummins and Kubota.
- ✗Ground pressure is low for the weight, but it's still a big machine - tight residential gates and trailering under CDL limits get tricky.
- ✗Loaded weight plus trailer exceeds what most 3/4-ton trucks should tow, so factor a bigger truck into the total cost.
