Wow I really liked the ASV but of all the videos I've watched no one has brought this problem to light. Thanks very informative. I've always had kobotas no ASV dealers in my area.
Well to be fair this problem only really happens when building narrow roads because we need to drive through the pile of sharp granite to spread. watch my last video "station road" and you will see what I'm talking about. Thanks for your comments
The machine is the same RT-65! I live in Central Ontario! Having the part numbers would be beneficial so when i place the order there is no question i will get the right wheels!!
Checkout equipment parts depot website or call them. That's where I buy my tracks. They sell wheels too. I wouldn't change your wheels until they're badly chunked
The front and rear idlers take the most abuse. Overall ASV has it figured out for track systems. The Bair steelies, likely depending on environment and task,, can be a great upgrade. Love to have a followup video when you put service interval hours on it. Turning on those rocks will kill any rubber track and wheel system quick.
I have multiple asv machines , front and back rollers always take the most damage. Asked my dealer about the metal wheels as a replacement and he said they would ware out the inside of my tracks. Do you have that problem? Thx
I’ve had my ASV PT-50 for 12 years now it just turned over 1400 hrs, things starting to give out more often, fuel injector pump was latest thing to go over $4k to repair. Did the tracks last year $3600 and lately it’s the boogie wheels are starting to go one at a time at $260 a pop, I’m ready to trade it in, was really looking at the RT65, but seems ASV hasn’t put much into track reliability, sure it’s a smother ride, but it should last longer than 1000 hrs 2000 seems reasonable with the materials on the market theses days. Hope you get longer live with the Bear wheels.
The Rt65 track system is pretty much the same as the pt50. I prefer the 2008 bogie wheels they're easyier to work on and cheaper checkout my video on those wheels.
Watched the video and other videos and that seems to be the one draw back on this machine. I checked out the Bair Products website but not sure of what the part numbers are? Would you happen to have the invoice with part numbers? I am not interested in a complete kit, just the 14 inch front roller kit and the 10 inch rear roller kit! As you indicated in your video the mid 10 inch bogie wheels you have not changed. Thanks! Could you also advise what the cost is for the parts! No doubt they have increased but just curious on what the ball park range is!!! Great video!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!
I have an a aSV and drive like a crazy man and my back wheels are still going, ugly but going ,how did yours get wiped out so easy ? is the machine too heavy for that track wheel size?
none really typically I get 4 years out of a set of tracks. Jobs on steep or rocky terrain typically are harder on tracks as they get thin wil split as you need to tension them.
@@Northbaylandscaping I have a couple 120f mulching rigs and they get about 30hrs a week I get about 1khrs from a set of oem tracks. Aftermarket won’t make it 2-300. Hurts enough buying tracks but I am sick of replacing rollers. Dealers are all against the aluminum wheels because of track damage I guess I am probably double the gross weight of your machine (mulching head + tractor is about 15500 pounds) but I have 20” tracks with 4 rows of wheels so ground psi is probably the same or close. If you were running forestry equipment do you think you would want the aluminum wheels? And do rocks ever gouge them and make sharp edges then cut the tracks? That’s been a fear I have but I don’t think I ever hear of it happening. Sorry for all the questions, I’m about to spend 12k on a set of tracks ,all new bogies and idlers. Aluminum wheels are actually less expensive than oem so I’m really thinking about trying it
Every time I change my tracks I take the loader arms all the way up and put the safety lock that way you can hit the edge of the track with a plastic sledge to move it over off the wheels

I purchased the Bair track install cylinder kit , I use it with a grease gun surprisingly effective

I've had metal wheels on front and back since 2009 and they've never damaged a track.
@@Northbaylandscaping i work mainly with 3/4 crushed rock so i was afraid the metal would push the rock against the rubber
I was thinking that might be the case.

Nature of the asv lot of repairs . But smooth ride and good flotation

price depends on where your located and what machine do you have?
Oh I like the way you use the strap to help pull it on you’re way wins
Bair products have a the 14" idler wheels with the correct centres. The part# is BW11. The new RT50 has the same on front and back idlers.

Watch the last video "station road" that did them in.
i'm curious. since the Al. wheels make the track take all the damage what kind of reduction in track life do you see with them?

@@73Klyne yeah between 1k and 1.5k hours on a set of tracks is right. I might put 200 hours on my main machine a season which only weighs 6500lbs
What’s up with the Brick Floor in the shop?
Or is it just a cement pattern?
I figured I give it a try works good and it's heated floor.
Can’t believe they didn’t come steel on the rear, my 2014 247b3 came with the rear steel.
Every time I change my tracks I take the loader arms all the way up and put the safety lock that way you can hit the edge of the track with a plastic sledge to move it over off the wheels
great idea I will try that next time.
Bait products 👍👍
Just don't use it with that type of rock
