ASV
ASV Holdings Inc., Grand Rapids, Minnesota, introduces a repowered RT-40 Posi-Track® loader with a Yanmar engine.

Additionally, the small-frame RT-40 showcases new comfort, visibility and performance features over its predecessor, according to the manufacturer. “With the Yanmar-powered RT-40, we are doubling down on the machine’s performance, reliability and comfort, as well as making it easier for our customers to service the engine at ASV dealers,” said Buck Storlie, ASV Holdings Inc. product manager. “The RT-40 is already a staple due to its ability to bring more power and productivity to limited-space work that may otherwise have required a fence removal or needed to be done by hand.” For more information, visit your local ASV dealer.
