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

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The first 'tug-of-war' style test involves both machines pushing their buckets against each other. The host signals the start, and both operators attempt to push the other. The ASV RT-75 successfully pushes the CAT 289D backward, creating a visible trench in the sand where the CAT's tracks lost traction and dug in. This demonstrates the ASV's superior pushing power and traction in sandy conditions, likely due to its track design.

Goal: Determine which skid steer has superior pushing power and traction.
