ASV No Longer...

[rtdiggr]

No Cat sold it's shares in ASV. Cat is also moving away from the ASV undercarriage and towards it's newly designed "bobcat looking" one. I like the new system. I would have originally liked a wider track but after watching and running one it works good.
I like the fact that they might change the color alone. Any color would reflect radiant head better than black. I painted the cab on mine yellow to help in direct sunlight.

Thanks for the info i didn't know that.

I read it in the public release after the Terex/ASV merger that CAT renewed their agreement with ASV for undercarriages until 2012. I can't remember where I read it but it was public information. It might be on the Terex or ASV website in their public announcement information.

I owned a 4810. the track systemwas smooth but was not made for the woods. The rubber rollers would get chewed up. I was just at supertrack and cat is using the same system but has replaced the rubber coated rollers with steel rollers, now that should be nice!!!!!!!

I went to an auction Monday. There were alot of people [more then i think i have ever seen]. and the money was flowing. The had a Cat 287 i think it went for around $20000. I know that is a good price but for the auction i was at it seemed a little high.
There was 2 Case 1845c one had 7000hrs and the other had 12000hrs they went for $7000 each. They also had a Cat 216 the pump let go before the bidding started. [there was a guy telling people not to start it] It went for $8500 i would imagine a pump would be a couple of grand.

Still looking for a SS.
