What happens here

The ASV representative details the ground pressure, highlighting that the VT-70 operates at under 3 PSI, ensuring excellent flotation. The unique track design, featuring an 'extra lug' that pushes against a guide wheel, is crucial for superior side-hilling capability and the anti-derailment guarantee. This feature is notably absent in other machines like the Bobcat model shown for comparison.

Goal: Explain how the ASV track design ensures low ground pressure, good flotation, and superior side-hilling stability.

machine divided by that right on this machine under 3 PSI with these so I mean we're very light in in total footprint yeah so you even though you're getting a smaller track you're not compromising and getting a machine that's going to sink more because the machine itself weighs less so you have the same float capability you end up a very similar amount of ground pressure and flocation in the end yep do you have the same capability on side slopes because this I call the Spider-Man that one is the Spider-Man of machines but I anytime you have a even a slightly bad slope this machine is the one everybody grabs without fail yeah and you know it's really consistent with ASV whether you started our smallest machine you know 25 horsepower all up to our biggest 135 right we got machines in between there but what we do is try to size in the undercarriage the amount of Wheels the amount of guide surfaces to that product so even with this machine you see that track width right you see the guide Wheels you see the extra lug here this lug its job in life is to help with that side healing we talk about that anti-derailment guarantee this lug is what allows us to do that it's it's Guided by that wheel so as you side Hill and all that weight is transferred out here yep you got three lugs on this son of a duck the lug is pushing against that wheel and that really helps keep that you know that track on whereas if you look at a lot of other designs or undercarriages you wouldn't see this lug on the outside there's no logo in this right that's a similar size machine to the 70 we're looking at and you can see you know with what we do there to help with that guiding you get that slope capability but now that's a 54 horsepower machine so it has none of the actual uh capabilities power to break through I mean the power to weight ratio on this thing has got to be incredible yeah I mean we keep up on the game all manufacturers really are putting more power in smaller packages right power goes up up and package size stays soon
