The RT-135 Forestry makes impossible jobs seem ordinary. Comfortable and easy to operate, the MAX-Series premium operator experience is front and centre to getting big forestry jobs done.
POWER
A Cummins 3.8-litre turbocharged diesel engine powers the ASV RT-135 Forestry, delivering 132-horsepower and 488Nm torque. This extreme power output is transferred to the terrain through direct-drive hydraulic motors, allowing the machine to easily move through its path on even the toughest, most demanding terrain.
PERFORMANCE
The RT-135 Forestry achieves superior performance over competitive machines.
With a rated operating capacity of 2689kg and a tipping load of 5379kg, the RT-135 Forestry also features ASV’s patented Posi-Track® rubber-track suspension — well known for its smooth ride — and includes both suspended wheels and axles, allowing it to achieve faster speeds over all types of terrain.
The fully-flexible track and suspended wheels conform to the ground, ensuring maximum traction in the roughest conditions. The features, combined with the RT-135’s 381mm of ground clearance, allow the unit to work where others simply can’t.
COMFORT
With a next-generation MAX-Series cab, the RT-135F features plenty of creature comforts that let operators work more comfortably for longer periods of time: more all-around space, improved ergonomics, an upgraded HVAC system for better circulation and defrosting, an all-weather pressurised cab for a cleaner operator environment, a colour touch screen display, heating, air conditioning, standard joystick controls, and a Bluetooth radio with USB.
SERVICEABILITY
The RT-135 Forestry Posi-Track gives operators easy access to the Cummins engine through a three-panel hood and tilting cooler arrangement. This machine offers a hydraulic quick attach and a design that simplifies routine inspections of filters, oil and normal service items. The rearward tilting cab provides easy accessibility when further service is required.
