ASV / Terex Positrack PT / RC General info required

[pete40]

OK - I need general info from those in the know.

I am going to buy a Positrack. I need to know what the difference between a PT and and RC model is.

Also, are the numbers 30, 50, 60, 70 etc the horsepower of them?

Which ones have a turbo?

Is the setup of the newer Terex ones better in terms of track roller bearings? I have a dealer telling me they are.

I have steep hills, so I think I need at least 50 HP.

What about machine size? What models have the same frame size and track width etc? I need a reasonably narrow one.

I also want a tilt bucket so I can more easily "bench" tracks into a hillside. Is it worth the extra cost?

pt/rc 60 is the smallest turbo model it wears the same frame and chassis as the 50 series machine just with a bit more grunt

Discovered that site yesterday actually - seem to be some reasonably priced machines there.
