A Closer Look: ASV’s VT-100 Goes Where Other Compact Track Loaders Can’t

Updated Aug 26, 2025

Earlier this year at Yanmar’s EVO Center in Acworth, Georgia, Product Management Director Peter Ovrebo showed off ASV’s VT-100 compact track loader.

The 10,345-pound, 103.5-horsepower model was introduced in 2023 to fill a gap in the company’s lineup between its 74-horsepower RT-75 and 135-horsepower RT-135 CTLs.

The vertical-lift loader features ASV’s patented Posi-Track undercarriage, a dual-level suspension system, 360-degree cab views and a cooling system for extreme conditions. It is ideal for loading and grading applications in landscaping and construction. It can travel at speeds up to 9.3 mph with a low, 4-psi ground pressure.

Check out the video above to get an inside look at:

  • How the poly-cord track design follows the contours of the ground
  • Tool-free rear access panels and separated coolers
  • Electro-hydraulic controls with customizable joystick patterns, sensitivity adjustments and add-on technology features to ease operation
  • High-flow and standard-flow auxiliary hydraulic options

ASV also offers a forestry configuration with additional forestry-rated guarding and a built-in limb riser. Both come with a two-year, 2,000-hour warranty. The warranty includes a no-derailment guarantee and covers the tracks for the entire warranty period.
