Grading a Back yard with an ASV Tracked skid steer

What happens here

The operator meticulously carries out the fine grading and detailed edge work, crucial for achieving a professional finish. This involves making precise adjustments to the grade near structures, fence lines, and existing landscaping features like flower beds and window wells. The compact track loader is used to create smooth transitions and perfect the slopes, ensuring effective water runoff and preparing the site perfectly for the final topsoil application and any subsequent planting or sod installation. The machine also demonstrates its ability to smoothly navigate challenging features like curbs without issue.

Goal: Achieve a professional, smooth, and accurately pitched final grade.

Tools and materials

  • ASV RT-75 Compact Track Loader ASV — Performing detailed and precise grading, especially near edges and structures
  • Front Bucket — Fine manipulation of dirt

What they say

Hide

trips the more you're compacting the ground beneath it and the more potential damage that you can do to the foundation now this is probably one of the tightest sites we have and we actually went so far as to calculate how many pounds per square inch the ASB was putting on the ground before we started this job playing I don't know if you knew that or not yeah Tim told me your your foot is between eight to nine pounds per square inch the ASB is between two and three pounds per square inch so right now you're putting through almost three times the pressure on the ground then the ASV is going pass it over and over again I I can't believe how well it's doing right we're taught as that if you look right right where Todd is you still have green grass in between the tracks typically even where the tracks give voting wood even with the tracks give order with the tighter tracks it well a little bit yeah yeah yeah I mean with tires it's no comparison this that hole with tires this whole area would be shell with tires this job wouldn't be done I'm gonna say I'm gonna go on the fence saying it's not possible that window would have been we're driving foot yeah it's so so we we know that the track system is built to flow but what about the power and everything else what are you finding that you like about it and what don't you like about this piece of equipment because they're not paying me to make this video so odd it's big from what we're used to but it's a big body machine Tim does not like that he wants the same horsepower but in a smaller package I mean he said it would be ideal for us yeah yeah I mean it's a little big for back here but it works great I don't have any really complaints about it how about the controls because it's electronic over hydraulic controls there is a little delay but not that bad okay not not to where it's gonna mess you up but no it it's a good machine I like it it's very smoother riding machine with these tracks this is pricking in because those bogie wheels float up and down are they acted almost like individual shock absorbers because there's a different kind of track system that doesn't have those and those bogie wheels the ability for them to flex hard so bottom line if you were gonna spend 45 50 G on a machine or more what would you buy I like the hand control snow no this is the first year that I'm random okay actually a first couple times with these machines yep just because I'm tall and the foot pedals can be a little cramped…
