Grading a Back yard with an ASV Tracked skid steer

What happens here

A significant benefit of using the ASV compact track loader, particularly in residential settings, is its minimal impact on the ground. The video explains that the machine's wide rubber tracks distribute its weight over a large surface area, resulting in very low ground pressure (approximately 2-3 pounds per square inch, compared to a human foot's 8-9 PSI). This allows the machine to traverse the site repeatedly without causing deep ruts or excessive soil compaction, preserving existing landscaping and minimizing post-project restoration work.

Goal: Demonstrate the machine's ability to operate with minimal ground impact.
