Caterpillar 289D vs ASV 75- Battle of the 74 hp skid steers

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Following the pushing test, the hosts observe the results. The ASV RT-75 remains relatively level, indicating good flotation, while the CAT 289D has dug its tracks deep into the sand, losing traction. The discussion confirms that the flotation of the ASV's tracks is a key factor. Travis suggests that a direct plate-to-plate push would be the ideal comparison, but for the task at hand, ASV clearly outperformed. Phil, initially a CAT fan, admits his opinion is changing, acknowledging the ASV's superior speed and responsiveness, even without heavy attachments.

Goal: Analyze the pushing test results and gauge operators' updated opinions.

think no I think it's just a flotation of the tracks exactly absolutely so you can see right here guys the cat just dug in in the ASV floated level you know this may not be scientific but it is a lot of fun isn't it is definitely fun are you guys let's didn't prove anything but we all seem to think that the ASV has more power than the cat we think that the ASV also floats better than the cat the cat has better service you're paying for it we've talked about it we've actually changed Phil's mind after running the cat for a while yeah s B's way too got I'm gonna say to act accessibility on this machines better than the cat cycle time test is next hey are you ready one two three go [Music] okay well you want to run their hands be switching them one two three go [Music] I think this thing feels a better operator
