EquipmentWatch has named ASV’s VT-70 High Output Posi-Track loader as the compact track loader with the highest retained value for 2022.
With a five-year retained value of 77.69%, the VT-70 was 19 percentage points higher than the overall average for the category.
The timeframe for EquipmentWatch's Highest Retained Value awards is five years, so the retained values shown here are the anticipated values for a piece of equipment five years from now. Analysis was limited to models sold in 2022 to ensure application to buying decisions today.
Retained values are often related to the concept of depreciation, a measure of how far a piece of equipment's value decreases over time. Retained values are a factor in equipment purchase or lease decisions, as some new equipment holds its value better than others.
According to EquipmentWatch, the ASV VT-70 came out at the highest value over Ditch Witch’s SK850 and New Holland’s C234 in the five years.
At EquipmentWatch, retained values are calculated using market data, depreciation standards, and a proprietary algorithm. For more information on the methodology, click here. EquipmentWatch is owned by Randall Reilly, the parent company of Equipment World.
