ASV has introduced the new RT-25 compact track loader to replace its RT-30 in the United States.
As ASV’s smallest track loaders, both CTLs have similar dimensions, as well as being the smallest ride-in CTLs on the market.
ASV says it upgraded the RT-25 over the RT-30, which will still be available in Canada, with a turbocharged engine for better performance at higher elevations.
Other upgrades include the displacement drive motor for improved tractive effort; faster, easier access to daily service checkpoints; and longer oil change interval of 500 hours, according to ASV.
The company touts the RT-25 as a more economical choice to its more powerful, heavier RT-40. The RT-25 is geared toward contractors, rental centers and homeowners working in tight spaces. Both machines are 48 inches wide for fitting through narrow openings, have an 8.4-foot lift height and share the same drive motor for extra pushing and digging power.
The 3-cylinder Perkins diesel engine on the RT-25 has a gross power rating of 24.7 horsepower at 2,800 rpm. It is Tier 4 Final, requiring no regeneration, exhaust sensors or diesel exhaust fluid, and produces peak torque of 66.4 foot-pounds. The RT-40’s engine produces 37.4 horsepower and 84.5 foot-pounds of torque.
