ASV RC100 4.00 star(s) (4)

ASV. RC 100 can go where others can't with mulcher
Model Year: 2005

I bought the ASV because of the high ground clearance,high flow hydraulics and wide rubber tracks. The 99.5 horse power is also a plus. Here in south Louisiana we got more wet land than dry. I needed a machine that would go in the mud. The under carriage was a easy fix.

Pros: Perkins engine
Cons: Small hydraulic tank

'05 ASV RC100
Model Year: 2005

I purchased this machine because it had high flow hydraulics built in. Most other machines needed to have that feature added at added cost. I use this tractor mostley for brush mowing.In the begining the machine performed well. Right away it had overheating problems and still does to this day. Within 500 hr it developed roller failure. In 1000 hr the tracks needed to be replaced. I've been replacing rollers and track ever since. The prices of parts through Terex (now) is outrageously expensive. Although the ride is great the reliability is the worst.

Pros: The ride.
Cons: The reliability and cost.

Next Time I Will Buy a Cat
Model Year: 2008

I have had the AC fail about 3 times a year and it is broken even now. The condenser fans are on top of the cab in the weather and they last less than a year at $500 to replace. The expansion valve has failed 5 times. I have had track rollers break the bolts and they are very difficult to replace. Changing the oils in a first class pain in the... I bought this machine to power a Fecon mulcher so I needed the 100 hp that it has. Many of the hoses have failed also. Overall I am pretty unhappy with this tractor.

Pros: Very strong for lifting and lots of power.
Cons: Unreliable.

ASV 100 Forrestry Machine Does the Job Others Could Not
Model Year: 2005

I have a farm in Northern California mountains. I bought this machine because ASV has the lead with rubber track systems for a very rugged and hilly farm. I am satisfied with the machine and bought up from the rc 30, which also handled steep terrain better than other machines in its class.

Pros: Steep terrain no problem, cat diesel mechanicals, perfect for mulcher.
Cons: Wear and replacement for under carriage, placement hydraulic oil is not easy to find.
