VT-80-1C FORESTRY COMPACT TRACK LOADER
MULCHING POWER.
Be a Force in Nature with the MAX-Series™ VT-80-1C Forestry Posi-Track® compact track loader. Despite its mid-sized frame, the machine packs a heavy punch to play with big forestry equipment. High flow performance comes standard for optimal performance while running mulchers. Safety takes the front seat with the VT-80-1C Forestry as one of the industry’s only compact track loaders to meet forestry equipment safety standards.
Forestry-Grade Safety
Work without worry with extra guarding, a polycarbonate door, rollover and falling object protection and an emergency roof escape hatch. And whether traversing a construction or landscaping jobsite or traveling through the woods, maximum traction and industry-leading ground clearance and departure angles mean you’re less risk of getting hung up on tricky ground conditions.
Features May Include:
Power Without Compromise
Power
- Take on heavy-duty applications in the brush and beyond with the powerful VT-80-1C Forestry. The Posi-Track loader boasts 71.5 horsepower from its Yanmar diesel engine and an optional 34.3 gpm high flow for high performance with attachments such as mulchers. The ASV track loader’s direct-drive motor boost power even further, allowing the machine to run attachments more efficiently than even higher-horsepower units.
Performance
- Premium hydraulics and cooling systems give the VT-80-1C Forestry compact track loader the performance needed to take on land clearing jobs in high temperatures without breaking a sweat. Combine that with ASV’s patented Posi-Track dual-level rubber-track suspension allowing high travel speeds of up to 9.1 mph and a low 4.2 psi ground pressure and you can get more done in more places.
Comfort & Operator Experience
- Operators can work intense conditions with less fatigue thanks to the VT-80-1C Forestry’s ASV rubber track undercarriage and MAX-Series cab. Enjoy more all-around space, ergonomics controls, an HVAC system optimized for better circulation and defrosting, standard joystick controls and an all-weather pressurized cab to keep the cabin comfortable and clean. Additionally, the dual-level suspension provides more comfort and stability while driving over uneven surfaces. The VT-80-1C Forestry also boasts forestry-grade safety features so you can take on big jobs and stay safe while doing it.
Serviceability
- A three-panel hood arrangement makes maintenance or daily checks a breeze on the VT-80-1C Forestry track loader. Built with serviceability in mind, the compact track loader allows easy access to daily service points including the air filter, battery, and oil filter. ASV backs its reliability promise with a 2-year / 2,000-hour warranty that includes the tracks for the entire warranty period and the industry’s only no-derailment guarantee.
