With the ever increasing demands for productive land comes the need for a way to quickly transform scrub and brush into land suitable for forestry or pasture. Environmental and time constraints are making it more difficult to clear land by conventional methods. Scrub and brush mulching is becoming the preferred option in land clearing with low environmental impact and very speedy results.
The ASV PT-100 forestry package, with a mulcher or rotary brush cutter, combines all the key ingredients for high-production, high-quality brush mulching, including a powerful rubber track loader, a productive mulching head, and a comprehensive guarding package that protects the entire system.
The PT-100 is the ideal platform for brush mulching. It’s powerful, manoeuvrable and built to work in rugged environments over long hours. It features ASV’s patented rubber track undercarriage technology to maximise traction and flotation for working in soft or difficult ground conditions where other machines won’t work at all.
The PT-100 uses its powerful 144lpm/3,300psi hydraulic system to produce 73 hydraulic horsepower. A load-sensing hydraulic system lets you run the mulcher and other attachments at maximum load without wasting power or creating excessive heat.
The new ASV HD7460B is a powerful drum-style mulcher attachment with 45 fixed-position double carbide tips that let you completely process a 1500mm wide path. It quickly processes trees up to 200mm in diameter and can plane stumps as large as 300mm diameter to ground level.
The HD7460B was designed specially for use on the PT-100 and is positioned close to the loader for optimum balance and excellent visibility. It features a new 110cc 2-speed drive system that uses a poly chain cog belt for efficient and reliable transfer of power to the drum.
The entire system is guarded by a package that includes a low-profile roof enclosure, limb-risers, hood protection, engine pre-cleaner screen kit, polycarbonate door and windows and complete belly-guard plates. Guarding plates are hinged to allow quick access for cleaning out debris and other routine machine maintenance. The package also includes a premium sound insulation kit with air conditioning and heater to reduce the entry of dust and debris into the operator station.
With the ASV Posi-Track Rubber Track Loaders, you aren’t limited to one job. There is a huge range of attachments available for these machines. Transform your machine in minutes from a mulcher to a bulldozer, then to a loader, or a forklift. The options and applications are endless.
In difficult times we require machines that give diversification and maximum utilisation. These machines give you these qualities in bucket loads.

A concrete foundation for infrastructure investment
 By Rob Gaimster – Cement & Concrete Association of New Zealand (CCANZ)
A great deal of discussion has taken place over recent months about the best way to combat the current global financial crisis. In New Zealand, there has been a general call for immediate and coordinated investment in large-scale infrastructure development. This is a position thoroughly supported by CCANZ.
CCANZ also recommends, along with others, that any infrastructure investment should cater for short, medium and long-term considerations, and be facilitated by the removal of legislative and compliance barriers that have restricted development in the past.
Indicative of the collective view, Business NZ has made an urgent call for infrastructure investment to be brought forward where possible, while the New Zealand Council for Infrastructure Development (NZCID) has added its voice to the debate by releasing the discussion document Policy Priorities for Advancing Economic Infrastructure Development in New Zealand. |
