"The VT-75 truly allows our ASV customers to do more," said Peter Ovrebo, product management director, North America, Yanmar Compact Equipment North America. "It fits right into the heart of the construction market where operators can make the best use of it. With the combination of its high-rated operating capacity, loading capabilities, reliable Yanmar engine, and ASV performance, it's a valuable asset for operations big and small.”
According to ASV, the VT-75 is filled with a variety of comfort and productivity features and technologies providing a premium experience while allowing operators to complete more work in more places.
Power & performance
The 8,310-pound compact track loader’s Tier 4 Final Yanmar diesel engine transmits more power and flow directly to the attachment thanks to the machine’s high-performance hydraulics and direct-drive pumps. A 10-foot, 5-inch lift height combined with a 2,300-pound rated operating capacity and 6,571-pound tipping load makes easy work of jobs like loading over the side of high dump trucks.
ASV’s Posi-Track rubber track undercarriage provides operators with year-round traction and mobility. The system includes a suspension made up of two independent torsion axles per undercarriage. These provide a smooth ride over all types of terrain and contribute to a high speed of 9.1 mph.
The flexible track and suspension also increases ground contract, providing more traction and pushing power even in steep, wet, muddy, and slippery conditions. A ground pressure of 4.5 psi minimizes turf damage and contributes to more flotation in tricky conditions. In addition, the undercarriage provides passage over larger obstacles with a 12-inch ground clearance.
An optional work-tool positioner allows access to a preset attachment angle at the touch of a button, enabling operators to set it for repetitive applications. Similarly, optional return-to-position technology allows a preset for the height of the loader arms. Operators can use the features separately or together, depending on the work. Optional self-leveling technology complements this by automatically leveling the load both while raising the arms and lowering them.
More precise maneuverability is available on the VT-75 thanks to various optional speed and movement-related features. It features auto 2-speed technology, which provides a seamless transition between low- and high-speed modes. In addition, speed-sensitive ride control adds to that by improving material retention at higher speeds but switching off automatically when conducting slower-moving tasks.
The hydraulic and cooling systems allow the machine to work in more conditions at maximum power, meaning the VT-75 can run at 100% load, 100% of the time from minus-40 F to 118 F ambient temperatures.
Comfort and serviceability
A variety of standard features improve comfort, productivity, and safety for operators using the VT-75. The cab features 360-degree visibility, allowing operators to focus on the quality of work while keeping an eye on the attachment and surroundings. Safety is further enhanced with the model’s roof escape hatch. A 7-inch color display combines various switches as well as improves access to monitoring tools, the view of the optional backup camera, and the ability to keep track of service schedules and history. Additionally, a fully adjustable and suspended seat accommodates more body types, improving comfort.

An additional optional feature is the Yanmar SmartAssist telematics system. Remote error notification, real-time operational status updates, and daily work reports are among the features available. Integrated theft protection helps secure owners’ investments, allowing users to set a range from a specific location and trigger an alert if the machine moves outside of that range.
The machine can be serviced from top to bottom by ASV dealers. Easily accessible components include a swing-out radiator, top hood, and side doors that provide access to all sides of the engine compartment, including filters and other daily checkpoints. The machine's cooler also swings out with the door, allowing easy access for cleaning.
ASV supports the machine with a 2-year, 2,000-hour warranty that includes its no-derailment guarantee.
