Hi Mark, for many years manufacturers have been bolting glass on the outside of the side screens without issue. The benefit of the screens mainly comes into play on an open-cab design. But for an enclosed cab, the glass can act as the barrier. For extreme environments such as brushcutting, we have field installable side screens that simply use 8 bolts to place them over the glass. The escape hatch uses a dual seal design. A seal on the hatch is the first line of defense. Even if this leaks the water runs into a raised surface on the ROPS structure. We are confident in the leak proofing and test every machine with a jet test prior to shipment.
Quick question I’ve been running the original Asv 50 then I purchased Terex Pt 50 with turf tracks very happy with both units looking for a third would you suggest the max cab 65 or go even larger ,the heavy duty 75 most of my jobs are in tight areas ?
Hi Rich, we do have the 50 hp RT-50 released earlier this year but if you want to go bigger the RT-65 would be a great choice to get you into a MAX-Series machine. The RT-75HD is designed for more extreme environments like brushcutting. But if you call your local dealer they can discuss this with you more. www.asvi.com/find-a-dealer
Is the side glass more exposed to damage
Also with the escape hatch is it going to leak like the overhead glass

Also is this available in the HD
Hi Mark, yes we have an RT-75HD that you can see on asvi.com. Our RT-65 and VT-70 also now have the option of a poly door and heavy duty packaging.
I hate those types of doors that open out. you should have stayed with the sliding door and for this reason, I won't purchase an ASV.
