What happens here

The presenter explains the unique design of the ASV (All-Surface Vehicle) track system. Unlike conventional tracks that rely solely on steel, ASV tracks feature a rubber coating over steel rollers. This rubber coating is intentionally designed to wear off over time, serving as an additional cushioning layer to smooth out the ride and extend the track's lifespan. Once the rubber coating is gone, the underlying steel rollers continue to operate effectively, meaning there's no need to immediately replace the entire track system. This design also provides superior traction in challenging conditions like snow, allowing the machine to climb steep snow banks and stack snow higher than wheeled machines.

hi sweet boy okay so let's talk about the track system on the asv we showed you a close-up of that track system earlier and what it is it's got actually a rubber coating over the top of it and a lot of there's kind of a misconception out there and a lot of people are saying that the track systems on these asbs are wearing off excessively fast and what's happening is that rubber coating that's over those rollers is actually chipping off but it's actually designed to you don't need to have that rubber coating on those at all for the track system to operate what that rubber coating is that's just an extra layer of cushion to help extend the track life and to smoothen out the ride when that rubber coating wears off you don't have to replace anything on the tray you can just keep going i'll show you another close-up of it so you know what i'm talking about love that sound all right let's do some more so that's the max series cab that sam is in right now so you can just see that it's just the visibility visibility is phenomenal in it and asp is not paying me to say this they don't know i'm making this video at all i'm just sharing the equipment the tools what we've learned what we like what we don't like i'm sharing it all good bad and in between i got nothing to lose by sharing it with you and there's the rollers right there and take a look at that rubber coating on top of it when that wears off you've got a steel wheel underneath it and you're still good that track system is still
