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

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The cycle time test measures how quickly each skid steer can perform a series of scoops and dumps. Each machine starts from a designated point, scoops sand from a pile, drives to a dump area, empties its bucket, and returns to the start. This process is timed and observed for efficiency. The CAT 289D demonstrates faster cycle times in this specific task, completing the four scoops and dumps faster than the ASV RT-75.

Goal: Measure the efficiency of loading and dumping operations.

  • CAT 289D Skid Steer Loader Caterpillar — Performing scoop and dump cycles
