PLEASE NOTE: this machine has been superseded by the ASV VT-70 Posi-Track – click here to view.
The PT-70 is a high performance loader with premium features and exceptional value. It works productively in a wide range of applications using a patented Posi-Track™ undercarriage technology with suspension for maximum traction, flotation and operator comfort.
With a narrow machine width (66 inches/1676 mm) the PT-70 can easily maneuver and operate in confined or congested work sites. Its purpose-built chassis was designed to be a heavy duty machine with good balance and performance within a compact and durable package.
A spacious comfortable operator station with an adjustable contour seat allows the operator to work in comfort all day long.
