Power

A Cummins 3.8-liter, turbocharged diesel engine powers the RT-135 Forestry. This 132-horsepower engine produces 360 foot-pounds of torque which is transferred to the terrain through direct-drive hydraulic motors that moves through anything in its path.

It offers ASV’s patented Posi-Track® rubber-track suspension and includes both suspended wheels and axles, allowing it to achieve faster speeds.
