ASV VT-75
The ASV VT-75 is a mid-frame vertical-lift Posi-Track loader that succeeds the long-running RT-75, pairing a 71.5 hp Yanmar turbo-diesel with a 2,300 lb rated capacity and a 10.5-foot lift height. It brings ASV's suspended undercarriage and flotation to operators who need to load over dump truck sides.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The vertical lift path and 126-inch hinge pin height clear standard dump truck sides - the main upgrade over the radial RT models it replaced.
- ✓ASV's internally suspended Posi-Track undercarriage delivers the smoothest ride in the class, letting operators carry full loads fast over rough ground.
- ✓Low ground pressure works wet lawns, septic systems, and soft spring ground with minimal damage, keeping landscapers on the clock when rivals park.
- ✓The 71.5 hp Yanmar turbo makes 193.8 ft-lbs of torque with no DEF, keeping the emissions system simple and the fuel bill modest.
- ✓A 9.1 mph two-speed drive covers big properties quickly, and the drivetrain delivers power to the tracks with less parasitic loss than gear-driven rivals.
- ✓The 21.4 GPM standard and 26.7 GPM optional high-flow circuits run attachments continuously with dedicated coolers that resist summer overheating.
- ✓At 7,915 lbs it tows lighter than the 9,000-10,000 lb machines it competes with on capability, saving on trailer and truck requirements.
- ✓The 2-year/2,000-hour warranty with no-derailment track guarantee removes the biggest fear buyers have about rubber-track undercarriages.
Cons
- ✗Undercarriage upkeep is the ASV tax - dozens of wheels and bearings need regular attention, and rebuilds cost real money when neglected.
- ✗The rubber tracks that grip so well in mud cut and chunk on rock, concrete, and demolition sites - this is a dirt and turf machine.
- ✗ASV's dealer footprint is thin outside certain regions, so parts availability and warranty service vary widely by geography.
- ✗The 2,300 lb rated capacity trails same-money conventional rivals like Kubota's SVL75-3, which lifts more per dollar.
- ✗Resale is soft because used-market buyers unfamiliar with Posi-Track routinely discount the brand.
- ✗Yanmar parts and service expertise are harder to find at independent shops than Kubota or Deere equivalents.
- ✗As a newer model the long-term durability record is short, and early adopters carry that uncertainty.
- ✗Cab refinement is improved but still trails Cat and Deere flagships in noise, sealing, and display polish.

ASV RT-75
The ASV RT-75 is a mid-frame compact track loader built around ASV's signature Posi-Track suspended undercarriage, which the company invented before Caterpillar licensed it for the original MTL line. It's the go-to machine for operators who prioritize flotation, ride quality, and traction on ground that stops conventional CTLs.
The ASV VT-70 High Output is a mid-frame vertical-lift Posi-Track loader with a torquey 74.3 hp Deutz turbo-diesel and ASV's signature suspended rubber-track undercarriage. It's built for operators who work mud, snow, and slopes where conventional steel-embedded tracks lose their grip.

ASV VT-80
The ASV VT-80 is the brand's big mid-frame vertical-lift Posi-Track loader, stacking a 2,800 lb rated capacity and 34.3 GPM optional high flow onto the suspended undercarriage ASV is known for. It squares up against the Kubota SVL75 and Bobcat T76 class while out-floating them all on soft ground.
