🌲 Forestry Operations User Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Wilkins - TimberWorks Forestry Contractor
"The ASV RT-135 Forestry Loader has transformed our land-clearing operations. I purchased the Pro Model in May 2024, and after 7 months of non-stop use in steep, muddy terrain, it’s still running like new. The 120kW engine powers through dense brush with the forestry mulcher, and the 16” composite tracks never slip, even on 45-degree slopes. Switching to the log grapple takes under 5 minutes thanks to the quick-attach system. This machine outperforms two older wheeled loaders we retired last year."

🚧 Construction Site Supervisor Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Martinez - Site Manager, Summit Earthworks
"We’ve used the Advanced Model since February 2025 across three job sites, and it’s become our go-to for tight-access grading and debris removal. The hydraulic system handles the 72-inch bucket and auger without hesitation, and the climate-controlled cab keeps operators comfortable during 12-hour shifts. Visibility is excellent, and the zero-pivot steering is a game-changer in narrow wooded corridors. After 5 months, only routine oil changes needed—zero downtime."

🌾 Large-Scale Agricultural Use

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Darren Brooks - Ranch Operator, Pine Ridge Agri-Land
"Bought the Base Model in October 2024 to help clear overgrown pastureland and move hay bales. It’s been solid—handles the forestry mulcher and front bucket well, and the 4-year warranty gave me peace of mind. Tracks hold up better than I expected in rocky soil, though I did need to adjust tension twice. The only downside? The cab could use better sound insulation—long days get noisy. But for the price, it’s a workhorse."

🌿 Land Management Contractor

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fiona Patel - EcoRestoration Services
"We specialize in sensitive ecological zones, and the RT-135’s low ground pressure minimizes soil compaction—critical for our reclamation projects. Since January 2025, we’ve used it with mulchers and root rakes across wetlands and forest edges. The Huade hydraulic pump runs attachments smoothly, and fuel efficiency surprised us—about 25% less consumption than our previous tracked loader. Customized the cab with air suspension; operators say fatigue is drastically reduced."

🌦️ Seasonal Forestry Crew Lead

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Marcus Reed - Northern Pines Forestry Team
"Purchased the Base Model in August 2024 for summer-to-fall clearing. After 6 months, including heavy rain and early snow, the rubber tracks show minimal wear. It handles muddy terrain better than any wheeled skid steer we’ve used. Hydraulic flow is strong, but I wish the base model had a slightly higher L/min rating for larger mulchers. That said, the 40% better traction claim is accurate—we’ve stayed mobile while others got stuck. Solid machine for mid-sized crews."

Forestry Equipment Specialist

Dr. Alan Foster - Heavy Machinery Consultant, ForestryTech Advisors
"The ASV RT-135F stands out in the mid-tier tracked loader segment due to its balanced power-to-weight ratio and modular design. Its Cummins engine and Huade hydraulics deliver consistent performance under load, and the 4-year warranty exceeds industry norms. For contractors investing in long-term forestry equipment, this model offers exceptional ROI, especially in high-moisture or uneven terrain applications."

Off-Road Construction Analyst

Linda Cho - Equipment Analyst, BuildSite Dynamics
"Having evaluated over 30 skid steer models, I recommend the RT-135F for operations where stability and attachment versatility are critical. The Pro Model’s 120kW engine and 80 L/min flow make it ideal for continuous mulching or heavy digging. Its operator-centric design reduces fatigue—key for productivity in remote sites. A benchmark for tracked loader innovation in 2024–2025."
