ASV Holdings Inc., an industry-leading manufacturer of
all-purpose, all-season compact
track loaders and skid steers,
offers the large-frame, radial-lift
RS-75 and vertical-lift VS-75 skidsteer loaders.
ASV designs and builds the
RS-75 and VS-75 with unique,
dedicated skid-steer frames, unlike other manufacturers that use
a single chassis for both compact
track loaders and skid steers. The
result is a 10.5-inch ground clearance on the ASV models, more
than 2 inches higher than any
machine in their class. This allows
the machines to easily travel over
obstructions such as logs, stumps
and rocks with less risk of getting
hung up. The purpose-built chassis also allows for a 24-degree
departure angle, decreasing the
risk of the machines getting stuck
when starting to climb a steep hill.
With speeds up to 11 miles
per hour, when equipped with
optional two-speed drive, RS-75
and VS-75 travel easily and quickly
uphill or downhill, as well as over
rough, uneven and wet terrain.
To achieve these speeds, ASV
designed the machines with efficient hydraulics, optimal cooling
capacity and high-quality drive
system components.
Both models feature an industrial 74-horsepower diesel engine.
Built for power and reliability,
the naturally aspirated 2.9-liter
displacement engine produces
192 foot-pounds of torque. The
Tier 4 Final engine requires no
regeneration, exhaust sensors or
diesel exhaust fluid.
Auxiliary hydraulic systems
are designed to operate efficiently with optional 30.9-gallon-per-minute, high-flow pump
capacity and 3,335-psi system
pressure. Both machines include
large line sizes, hydraulic coolers
and direct-drive pumps, trans-

ferring more flow and pressure
directly to the attachment and
preventing power loss.
The VS-75 features a rated operating capacity of 3,500 pounds
and a tipping load of 7,000
pounds; RS-75's rated capacity is
2,600 pounds and its tipping load
is 5,200 pounds. Both machines
are 72 inches wide; RS-75 has a
10.4-foot lift height, while VS-75
has a 10.8-foot lift height. Standard reversible wheels narrow
the machines to 66 inches for
improved mobility in tight spaces.
In addition, ASV manufactures the
machines to be over-the-tire track
ready.
Standard hydraulic joystick
controls make operation of both
units easy and intuitive, and
industry-standard quick-attach
accommodates all conventional attachments. An optional
all-weather cab not only includes
heat and air-conditioning, but is
pressurized for a clean operator
environment.
Also leading the industry in
serviceability, the swing-out door
and cooling system open quickly
to expose the engine, filters and
other daily checkpoints for easy
maintenance. Drain plugs on all
service items (chain cases, hydraulic tank, radiator and engine
oil pan) speed-up the draining
process and zerk fittings on the

end of all pins make greasing
easy. Standard metal-face seals
ensure the drive hubs don't
require maintenance for the life
of the machine. In addition, the

direct-drive pump eliminates labor-intensive belt servicing. All of
these features mean less downtime spent servicing the machine
and more time operating it.
