Where is info. on the ASV RC-100 positive pressure cab?

[Gamma]

I've been hearing about the positive pressure cab option for the ASV RC-100, but there is no information about it on ASV's website that I can find.

Is it an option that just isn't mentioned on the ASV website yet?

How is the positive pressure developed? I'm assuming that some type of fan is used. Anyone have any pictures of it?

Paco on here was the first to tell us about it. It's not really a positive pressure per say but a better filtration unit. I've not seen any other info on it. I was at my tractor place last week and they unloaded three 100's with ASV forestry packages. I drove my son in one to see how visibility was with the guards and the interior looked just like my 100.

I have however been in two different units with true positive pressure cabs and the difference is like night and day. The Rayco was good but the gyro was a cadilac. You couldn't even hear the head turning. But for 300k that's what I would expect.

Here is the bulletin from ASV describing the kit. Hope this will answer your questions.

That is embarrassing. A filter sticking outside the cab totally exposed to the weather? That thing will be loaded with crap the first dusty day as it sucks dust from the top of the tracks, then nicely caked when it gets rained on. No louvers, nothing. All the air you are breathing is coming thru a wet, moldy filter? Great design guys. And a ledge sticking out at the back of your legs to give you an interior filter and a big blower housing to take up foot room.

If anyone can honestly say this was engineered by professionals, you are smoking crack.

As much as you guys love ASV, I hope you realize that Bobcat has had pressurized cabs with two filters since the late-nineties.
