asv scout sc-50

[jimmyjack]

anyone see one in person, they seem pretty cool. its looks about the size of a JD gator just able to do more (towing/hauling). i'd like to have one ,dealer said thier around 30 to 35,000. so i guess i'll wait a couple years for them to be out a little while and geta used one

jimmyjack i just ran 2 versions of this unit opencab and full closed cab. they feel like a hummer h1 inside with a big doghouse in the middle. it seemed to have a ton of pulling power. the steering is horrible it has a steering wheel to turn but its like nothing i ever ran before they shouda just put a pilot control in it like a asv loader . it is also like sitting in the engine compartment of a old excavator with a screeming detroit full till. you cant talk to the person next to you. oh ya i almost forgot the ground clearence is very low. unlike a gator if you get stuck a comalong and a six pack of bud can get you out. you get the scout stuck you better have a D3 close by.

Looks like a real contender, but I don't trust the drive motors that close to the ground.

I saw my first one in operation last week with a snow blade on the front and a huge salt spreader on the back.
