Matt Clarke & the ASV RT-50

A Reliable Match for Terang’s Tough Jobs

In Terang, when the job calls for serious vegetation management, landscape care, or roadside clean-ups, Matt Clarke is the name that comes up. Through Matt Clarke Gardening Services, he’s built a reputation for getting things done — efficiently, thoroughly, and with genuine care for the land he works on.

Recently, Matt added the ASV RT-50 Posi-Track Loader to his machinery lineup, and it’s already proving to be a smart investment. We caught up with Matt and Aaron Davies, Sales Rep for Ag & Construction at Meltrac Machinery, to talk about the new addition and how it’s helping Matt tackle the wide range of work he does.

Matt explained that the RT-50 is ideal for his commercial garden, landscape, and vegetation management work. It’s compact, powerful, and able to access areas that were previously too dense or difficult to reach — from blackberry thickets to roadside embankments and dam surrounds.

“Since I’ve had this machine, the ability to get across pretty dense areas — blackberry, noxious weeds — it’s made a huge difference,” he said.

Aaron added, “It’s impressive how tidy that paddock looks now — the RT-50 really gets through the work quickly and leaves a neat finish.”

Matt also highlighted the comfort and ease of operation:

“Once I sat in it, the ease of operation, the comfort — it was a no-brainer.”

But for Matt, choosing the RT-50 wasn’t just about specs — it was about trust.

“Meltrac’s always looked after us. The service is great, and having that local connection made it an easy decision. Plus, Aaron really knows his stuff — he helped me feel confident this was the right machine for the work I do.”

Aaron shared, “Matt’s been great to work with. He knows his business, he knows what he needs, and it’s been awesome helping him find the right solution.”
