    Pt-80

    pt-80 mp1 just found out asv doesn't make the mp2 cab with the lap bars anymore. they only made it for 2 years. the new pt series cancels out the lap bars totally. now, the standard mp1 comes with: horn, back-up alarm & poly roof panel, fixed seat. But if you add the kit #2046-078 you get...

    Pt-80

    asv pt-80 just found out today that asv doesn't make the mp2 cab anymore. they are just making the mp1 without lap bars. i guess because of the demand for more room. they said the mp1 comes standard with: glass enclosure, wiper, heat, a/c, hydraulic quick attach, bucket positioning, , horn...

    my new toy

    talus, thanks for the 18" track advice. on the 20" the extra set of drive lugs trapping debris is something i wouldn't have thought about & i imagine they are harder to turn since they are wider so i'm settled on the 18's. i'll have to try each cab option to see which one suits me best.

    Pt-80

    I have a jd317 presently. it's a pretty good lifting machine. i just demoed a pt60. the rock i lifted, curled & drove away with on the 317 face planted the pt60. that's why i'm looking at the 80. i would consider the pt70 but it doesn't have a2 speed yet.

    Pt-80

    keep in contact regarding your research. i need a machine for forestry work & plowing. i don't do any construction. here is what i've come up with. the mp1 cab (no lap bars) is roomier than the mp2 with (split lap bars). does any other manufacturer omit lap bars like asv? the red dot a/c unit...

    my new toy

    asv pt-80 jimmyjack, thanks for the photos. this is one nice rig & it even has a cupholder which makes it look more like a pickup truck interior than a mtl. from the photos it looks like the overhead door tucks up tight so it's not riding on your head like the one in my deere 317. how is the...

    Yet another CTL question

    Hi, I'm thinking about a ASV PT-60. I just got back from the dealer & drover the PT-80, PT-70 & PT-60. The 80 & 70 are way too much machine. The 80 has 2 speed & so does the 60 but not the 70. The 80 & 60 also has the updaed 24 roller undercarriage. Any opinion from you would be appreciated. I...
