can you let me know how demo goes and how it compairs to the asv
Well last tuesday we used the CT332. I didn't realize how wide the machine was. The ASV RCV is 72" wide while the deere is 82" across the tracks with an 84" bucket. You can read the specs yourself on a comparison so I won't get into the specs.
The machine pushed well, ran well and servicing would be light years ahead of ASV. Getting into the engine compartment etc. The biggest drawback and it may seem picky, but getting in and out of the cab is terrible. The door slides above your head. I am 6'2" and I was ducking with the door open. It is also a very small door to get into and very difficult to get your feet in the right spot easily.
I did notice not having suspension in the tracks although it didn't make much of a difference in cutting a level. It might make a little difference in leveling a gravel or ground pile, as you might have to make a few extra passes.
We were using the machine for digging a basement. We dug the basement with a hydraulic excavator and cut the level in the basement with the skid steer. We also leveled the clay around the basement with the skid steer.
