Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Note 1. Basis of Presentation Nature of Operations ASV Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “ASV”) primarily designs, manufactures and markets compact track loaders and skid steer loaders as well as related parts for use primarily in the construction, landscaping, and agricultural industries. The Company’s headquarters and manufacturing facility is located in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Products are marketed and sold in North America, Australia, New Zealand and Latin America. Corporate Conversion and Initial Public Offering On May 11, 2017, pursuant to a Plan of Conversion adopted by the Members and Board of Managers of A.S.V., LLC as of April 25, 2017, the Company converted from a Minnesota limited liability company into a Delaware corporation and changed its name from A.S.V., LLC to ASV Holdings, Inc. In conjunction with this corporate conversion, the Company filed a certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) became effective. Both the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws were approved by the Board of Managers and Members of A.S.V., LLC prior to corporate conversion. Pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000 shares of common stock $0.001 par value per share and 5,000 shares of preferred stock $0.001 par value per share. All references in the unaudited interim condensed financial statements to the number of shares and per-share amounts of common stock have been retroactively restated to reflect the corporate conversion. On May 17, 2017, the Company completed its underwritten initial public offering (“IPO”) of 3,800 shares of the Company’s common stock, including 1,800 shares sold by the Company and 2,000 shares sold by Manitex International, Inc. (“Manitex”), at a price to the public of $7.00 per share. After underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company, the Company received net proceeds of $10,405 from the offering. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by Manitex. On May 23, 2017, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full by purchasing an additional 570 shares of the Company’s common stock from A.S.V. Holding, LLC, a selling stockholder in the IPO and subsidiary of Terex Corporation (“Terex”), at the IPO price of $7.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by A.S.V. Holding, LLC.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The unaudited financial statements, included herein, have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to these rules and regulations, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and have been consistently applied. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of September 30, 2018 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2018. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Company to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures and contingencies. The Company evaluates estimates used in preparation of the accompanying financial statements on a continual basis. We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recent accounting pronouncements are described in Note 6, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements.” Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on individual customer review and current economic conditions. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts at least quarterly. Individual balances exceeding a threshold amount that are over 90 days past due are reviewed individually for collectability. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis by type of receivable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company determines it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts was $111 and $82 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenues result from the sale of goods or services and reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). For its customer contracts, the Company identifies the performance obligations (goods or services), determines the transaction price, allocates the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes the revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. A good or service is transferred when the customer obtains control of that good or service. The Company principally generates revenue from the sale of equipment and parts to dealers, distributors and OEM customers and recognizes revenue at a point in time when control transfers. Transfer of control is generally determined based on the shipping terms of the contract. The Company recognizes revenue for delivered goods or services when the delivered good or service is distinct, control of the good or service has transferred to the customer, and only customary refund or return rights related to the goods or services exist. Generally, there is no-post shipment obligation on product sold other than standard warranty obligations in the normal and ordinary course of business. Provisions for sales program incentives (such as wholesale subsidies, retail subsidies and customer cash), product returns, and discounts and allowances are variable consideration and are accounted for as a reduction of revenue and establishment of a liability (or contra asset receivable as appropriate) using the expected value method. The Company considers historical data in determining its best estimates of variable consideration. These estimates are reviewed regularly for appropriateness, considering also whether the estimates should be constrained in order to avoid a significant reversal of revenue recognition in a future period. If updated information or actual amounts are different from previous estimates of variable consideration, the revisions are included in the results for the period in which they become known through a cumulative effect adjustment to revenue. In addition, the Company’s contracts with customers generally do not include significant financing components or noncash consideration. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract (primarily sales commissions) as selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Statements of Operations, because the amortization period would be less than one year. The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by geographic location and major customer (see Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk) as we believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Accrued Warranties The Company records accruals for potential warranty claims based on its claim experience. The Company’s products are typically sold with a standard warranty covering defects that arise during a fixed period. A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale. The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience for each product sold. Historical claim experience may be adjusted for known design improvements or for the impact of unusual product quality issues. Warranty reserves are reviewed quarterly to ensure critical assumptions are updated for known events that may affect the potential warranty liability. Litigation Claims In determining whether liabilities should be recorded for pending litigation claims, the Company must assess the allegations and the likelihood that it will successfully defend itself. When the Company believes it is probable that it will not prevail in a particular matter, it will then record an estimate of the amount of liability based, in part, on advice of outside legal counsel. Defined Benefit Plan The Company sponsors a nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) for a former senior executive. The SERP is unfunded. The Company accounts for this plan pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 710, “Compensation – General.” This guidance requires balance sheet recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of the defined benefit plan. Actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits, and any remaining transition assets or obligations that have not been recognized under previous accounting guidance must be recognized in the Statement of Operations. The defined benefit obligation for this plan as of September 30, 2018 is $760, of which, $64 and $696 is reflected in “Accrued Other” and “Other Long-Term Liabilities,” respectively, on the balance sheet. The balance at December 31, 2017 was $803, of which, $64 and $739 was reflected in the “Accrued Other” and “Other Long-Term Liabilities,” respectively. The Company expects to make annual benefit payments of $64 per year over the next five years. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs are incurred in the development of new products or significant improvements to existing products. Income Taxes The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of federal and state taxes, as applicable, in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that it expects to achieve for the full year. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments as necessary. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $(35), which consists of federal and state taxes of $108 on pre-tax income of $564 offset by a discrete income tax benefit of $(143) related to the finalization of the Company’s 2017 tax returns. The Company’s effective tax rate is affected by recurring items such as state and local taxes, a reduced federal tax rate for foreign derived intangible income, and federal research and development credits. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $257 on pre-tax income of $779. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $(28), which consists of federal and state income tax on it pre-tax income of $583 offset by a discrete income tax benefit of $(147) related primarily to the finalization of the Company’s 2017 tax returns. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $(372), which consists of a federal and state income tax provision of $575 offset by a discrete income tax benefit of $(947) related primarily to the recognition of a deferred tax asset related to a change in status with the conversion from a Minnesota limited liability company to a Delaware corporation on May 11, 2017. At September 30, 2018, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes in the accompanying Statement of Income. Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk Caterpillar Inc., an OEM customer, and CEG Distributions PTY Ltd., the Company’s Australian master distributor, accounted for 34% and 37% of the Company’s Net Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 respectively, as well as 64% of the Company’s Accounts Receivable at September 30, 2018. Caterpillar Inc. and CEG Distributions PTY Ltd accounted for 29% and 32% of the Company’s Net Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 respectively, as well as 63% of the Company’s Accounts Receivable at December 31, 2017. Sales by major customer consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017: For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 Percent Percent of Total Amount of Total Amount Caterpillar 16% $ 5,145 19% $ 5,884 CEG Distributions PTY Ltd. 18% 5,890 18% 5,515 Other 66% 21,741 63% 19,236 Total 100% $ 32,776 100% $ 30,635 For the Nine Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 Percent Percent of Total Amount of Total Amount Caterpillar 15% $ 13,952 19% $ 17,420 CEG Distributions PTY Ltd. 14% 12,876 13% 12,225 Other 71% 67,678 68% 63,240 Total 100% $ 94,506 100% $ 92,885 Any disruptions to these two customer relationships could have adverse effects on the Company’s financial results. The Company manages dealer and OEM concentration risk by evaluating in advance the financial condition and creditworthiness of its dealers and OEM customers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, if needed, based upon expected collectability. Any reserves established for doubtful accounts is determined on a case-by-case basis when it is believed the payment of specific amounts owed to us is unlikely to occur. Although the Company has encountered isolated credit concerns related to its dealer base, management is not aware of any significant credit risks related to the Company’s dealer base and generally does not require collateral or other security to support account receivables, other than UCC related sales. The Company has secured a credit insurance policy for certain accounts with a policy limit of liability of not more than $8,600. Revenue by geographic area consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017: For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Percent Percent Percent Percent of Total Amount of Total Amount of Total Amount of Total Amount United States 71% $ 23,058 66% $ 20,112 72% $ 68,449 70% $ 65,171 Australia 20% 6,612 26% 7,875 16% 15,035 20% 18,452 Other 9% 3,106 9% 2,648 12% 11,022 10% 9,262 Total 100% $ 32,776 100% $ 30,635 100% $ 94,506 100% $ 92,885

Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Intangible Assets Intangible assets include patented and unpatented technology, trade names, customer relationships and other specifically identifiable assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives, which range from ten to twenty-five years. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate a potential impairment has occurred. There are three fundamental methods applied to value intangible assets outlined in FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” These methods include the Cost Approach, the Market Approach, and the Income Approach. Each of these valuation approaches were considered in the Company’s estimation of value. Trade names and trademarks, patented and unpatented technology: Valued using the Relief from Royalty method, a form of both the Market Approach and the Income Approach. Because the Company has established trade names and trademarks and has developed patented and unpatented technology, the Company estimated that the benefit of ownership as the relief from the royalty expense that would need to be incurred in absence of ownership. Customer relationships: Because there is a specific earnings stream that can be associated with customer relationships, the Company determined the fair value of these relationships based on the excess earnings method, a form of the Income Approach. Technology: The Company holds a number of U.S. patents covering its undercarriage technology. The key patent related to the Company’s Posi-Track undercarriage and suspension expires in 2023. The average estimated useful life for the Company’s patents is ten years, but useful life is determined in part by any legal, regulatory or contractual provisions that limit useful life. The Company has and will continue to dedicate technical resources toward the further development of our products and processes in order to maintain its competitive position. Intangible assets, net comprised the following as of September 30, 2018: Weighted Gross Net Average Life Carrying Accumulated Carrying (In Years) Amount Amortization Amount Patents and unpatented technology 10 $ 8,000 $ (3,027 ) $ 4,973 Tradename and trademarks 25 7,000 (1,058 ) 5,942 Customer relationships 11 16,000 (5,548 ) 10,452 12 $ 31,000 $ (9,633 ) $ 21,367 Intangible assets, net comprised the following as of December 31, 2017: Weighted Gross Net Average Life Carrying Accumulated Carrying . (In Years) Amount Amortization Amount Patents and unpatented technology 10 $ 8,000 $ (2,427 ) $ 5,573 Tradename and trademarks 25 7,000 (848 ) 6,152 Customer relationships 11 16,000 (4,448 ) 11,552 12 $ 31,000 $ (7,723 ) $ 23,277 Amortization of other intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $1,910 and $1,910, respectively. Goodwill Goodwill, representing the difference between the total purchase price and the fair value of assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities at the date of acquisition, is reviewed for impairment annually, and more frequently as circumstances warrant, and written down only in the period in which the recorded value of such assets exceed their fair value. Annual impairment tests are performed by the Company in the fourth quarter of each year using information available as of fiscal September month end.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Note 5. Related Party Transactions Effective December 19, 2014, the Company entered into a Distribution and Cross Marketing Agreement with Terex and Manitex (the “Terex Cross Marketing Agreement”) that set forth the terms under which the Company would manufacture and sell ASV products, certain services Terex would provide in assisting in the sales and marketing of ASV products and the costs to be paid by the Company in exchange for such services. The Terex Cross Marketing Agreement defines dealers and customers to which, and territories for which, Terex would have the exclusive right on behalf of the Company to market and sell Terex-branded ASV products. The Terex Cross Marketing Agreement defines the compensation to Terex for its machine sales selling expense, part sales selling expense and general and administrative costs associated with such sales. In addition, for the provision of marketing services by Terex, the Company would pay an annual fee of $250, subject to annual escalation of 3% plus 0.2% of net incremental sales. Unless terminated, the term of the Terex Cross Marketing Agreement is five years, and the parties may agree to renew for additional one-year terms. The Company expensed $0 and $296 for services for the three months and $320 and $888 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, under the Terex Cross Marketing Agreement. Effective December 19, 2014, the Company entered into a Services Agreement with Terex (the “Terex Services Agreement”) that set forth the terms under which Terex would provide certain services to the Company and the Company will retain access to certain services provided by Terex and the compensation related thereto. The scope of the Terex Services Agreement covers amongst other items, temporary transition services arising from the transfer of majority ownership to Manitex, third party logistics services for parts fulfillment, warranty and field service and information technology (“IT”) services for both transitional and ongoing services. Unless terminated, the term of the Terex Services Agreement is specific to each service provided, and the parties may agree to renew for additional one-year terms. The Company expensed $0 and $320 for services provided for the three months and $175 and $1,010 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Effective March 27, 2017, the Company entered into a Winddown and Termination of Distribution and Cross Marketing Agreement and Services Agreement with Terex and Manitex (the “Winddown Agreement”). Pursuant to the Winddown Agreement, Terex will continue to provide certain services to the Company following the completion of the IPO under the Terex Cross Marketing Agreement and the Terex Services Agreement, including parts sales, shipment and purchases and parts planning, customer parts phone support, and administrative services, including IT support and accounting input information for parts cost and pricing. Pursuant to the Winddown Agreement, these services will continue on a transitional basis. Terex no longer markets ASV machines under the Terex Cross Marketing Agreement and the Company is responsible for marketing all ASV machines to all distribution channels, but Terex will continue to market ASV parts under the Terex Cross Marketing Agreement during transition period. Pursuant to the Winddown Agreement, the Company will be permitted to produce and sell Terex-branded ASV products to existing Terex dealers and continue to use applicable Terex trademarks during the transition period and for one year after termination of the Winddown Agreement. The Company has the right to terminate any service related to parts sales and distribution upon six months’ notice to Terex, and the Company also has the right to terminate all services upon six months’ notice to Terex. After one year from the date of the Winddown Agreement, Terex will also have the right to terminate services upon six months’ notice. In no event will the services continue beyond December 19, 2019. The Winddown Agreement does not immediately terminate the Terex Cross Marketing Agreement or the Terex Services Agreement, each of which will remain in effect until terminated in accordance with the Winddown Agreement. By notice dated October 5, 2017, the Company provided notice to Terex and Manitex of the termination, effective as of April 5, 2018, of all services provided by Terex thereunder. Such notice also indicated that, also effective as of April 5, 2018, the Terex Cross Marketing Agreement and Terex Services Agreement shall also be deemed terminated.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Note 6. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), and ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue, cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The adoption of ASU 2014-09, using the modified retrospective approach, had no significant impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial position. Revenue continues to be recognized at a point in time for our product sales when products are delivered to or picked up by the customer and revenue for shipping and handling charges continues to be recognized when products are delivered to or picked up by the customer. We continue to reduce revenue for estimates of sales incentives based on probability estimates and for product returns based on historical return rates. Additional information and disclosures required by this new standard are contained in Note 2, “Revenue Recognition”. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Not Yet Adopted In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," (“ASU 2016-01”), subsequently clarified in February 2018 by ASU No. 2018-03, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to ASU 2018-01” (“ASU 2018-03). The amendments in ASU 2016-01, and the clarification in ASU 2018-03, among other things, require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables); and eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, for emerging growth companies. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities associated with the rights and obligations created by those leases. The guidance for lessors is largely unchanged from current U.S. GAAP. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal 2020, for emerging growth companies, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to early adopt and anticipates the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial statements. While we are continuing to assess all the potential impacts of the standard, we currently believe the most significant impact relates to our accounting for our distribution center lease. Under the new guidance, the net present value of the obligation for our lease will appear on the balance sheet. Currently, it is classified as an operating lease and payments are expensed in the period incurred. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s cash flow. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230): Statement of Cash Flows” (“ASU 2016-15”), which clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 also clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, for emerging growth companies. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by eliminating the requirement of performing a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Instead, impairment will be measured using the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the reporting unit. The amended guidance also eliminates the requirement for any reporting unit with a zero or a negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and will require disclosure of the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or a negative carrying amount of net assets. This standard will be effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, for emerging growth companies. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The standard is to be applied prospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting.” This ASU is intended to provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions on a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. This new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period, for emerging growth companies, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements. Except as noted above, the guidance issued by the FASB during the current period is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Loss Contingency [Abstract]
Litigation and Contingencies	Note 7. Litigation and Contingencies The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability, general liability, workers’ compensation liability, and employment litigation, which have arisen in the normal course of operations. The Company is insured for product liability, general liability, workers’ compensation, employer’s liability, property damage and other insurable risk required by law or contract, with retained liability or deductibles. The Company has recorded and maintains an estimated liability in the amount of management’s estimate of the Company’s aggregate exposure for such retained liabilities and deductibles. For such retained liabilities and deductibles, the Company determines its exposure based on probable loss estimations, which requires such losses to be both probable and the amount or range of probable loss to be estimable. The Company believes it has made appropriate and adequate reserves and accruals for its current contingencies.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Note 9. Debt Loan Facilities On December 23, 2016, the Company completed a unitranche credit agreement with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), and White Oak Global Advisors, LLC (“White Oak”) to provide a $65,000, 5-year credit facility (the “Credit Agreement’). The facility consisted of a $35,000 revolving credit facility (subject to availability based primarily on eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory), a Term Loan A facility of $8,500 and a Term Loan B facility of $21,500. A total of $46,700 was drawn by the Company at closing of the Credit Agreement. On December 27, 2017 the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with PNC, and another lender (the “Lenders”) to provide a $50,000, 5-year credit facility (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”. The facility consists of a $35,000 revolving credit facility (which is subject to availability based primarily on eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory), and a term loan facility of $15,000. At the closing of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company had outstanding borrowings under it of approximately $28,400, consisting of $18,700 in new borrowings and approximately $9,700 which was carried over from the Company’s previously outstanding revolving credit facility. Revolving Loan Facility with PNC The Company’s $35,000 revolving loan facility with PNC includes two sub-facilities: (i) a $2,000 letter of credit sub-facility, and (ii) a $3,500 swing loan sub-facility, each of which is fully reserved against availability under the revolving loan facility. The facility matures on December 27, 2022. The $35,000 revolving loan facility is a secured financing facility under which borrowing availability is limited to existing collateral as defined in the agreement. The maximum amount available is limited to (i) the sum of (a) up to 85% of Eligible Receivables, plus (b) 90% of Eligible Insured Foreign Receivables, plus (c) the lesser of (I) 95% of Eligible CAT Receivables, or $8,600 plus (ii) the lesser of (A) the sum of (I) up to 65% of the value of the Eligible Inventory (other than Eligible Inventory consisting of finished goods machines and service parts that are current), plus (II) 80% of the value of Eligible inventory consisting of finished goods machines, plus (III) 75% of the value of Eligible Inventory consisting of service parts that are current) or, (B) up to 90% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of Eligible Inventory. Inventory collateral is capped at $15,000 less outstanding letters of credit and any reasonable reserves as established by the bank. At September 30, 2018, the maximum the Company could borrow based on available collateral was capped at $22,475. At September 30, 2018, the Company had drawn $15,740 under the $35,000 revolving loan facility. The Company can opt to pay interest on the revolving credit facility at either a domestic rate plus a spread, or a LIBOR rate plus a spread. The domestic rate spread is initially fixed at 1.00% for revolving loan advances until delivery of certain reporting documents with respect to fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2018, at which point it ranges from 1.00% to 1.5% depending on the Average Undrawn Availability (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The LIBOR spread is initially fixed at 2.00% for revolving loan advances until delivery of the same reporting documents, at which point it ranges from 2.00% to 2.5% depending on the Average Undrawn Availability. Funds borrowed under the LIBOR options can be borrowed for periods of one, two, or three months. The weighted average interest rate for the period ended September 30, 2018 was 4.7%. Additionally, the bank assesses a 0.25% unused line fee that is payable quarterly. Term Loan A with PNC On December 23, 2016, the Company entered into an $8,500 term loan (“Term Loan A”) facility with PNC as the administrative agent. The Company repaid this facility on May 18, 2017. Term Loan B with White Oak On December 23, 2016, the Company entered into a $21,500 term loan (“Term Loan B”) facility with White Oak as the administrative agent. The Company repaid this facility on December 27, 2017. Term Loan C with PNC On December 27, 2017 the Company entered into a $15,000 term loan (“Term Loan C”) facility, with PNC as the administrative agent. At September 30, 2018, the Company had an outstanding balance of $13,500, less $285 debt issuance costs, for net debt of $13,215. The Company can opt to pay interest on the Term Loan C facility at either a domestic rate plus a spread, or a LIBOR rate plus a spread. For term loan advances the domestic rate spread is fixed at 3.75%, and the LIBOR spread is fixed at 4.75%. Funds borrowed under the LIBOR options can be borrowed for periods of one, two, or three months. The weighted average interest rate for the period ending September 30, 2018 was 6.9%. The Company is obligated to make quarterly principal payments of $500, which commenced on January 1, 2018. If the term loan is prepaid in full or in part prior to the maturity date, the Company will be required to pay a prepayment penalty. If paid prior to December 27, 2019 the prepayment penalty will be equal to 2.0% of the prepayment. The prepayment penalty percentage reduces to 1% on or after December 27, 2020, and no penalty if on or after the December 27, 2021. There will be no prepayment obligation in the event that the prepayment of the obligation in full is funded in connection with a refinancing for which PNC is the administrative agent. Any unpaid principal is due on maturity, which is December 27, 2022. Interest is payable monthly beginning on January 1, 2018. Loan Agreements with State Agencies In October 2017, the Company entered into two loan agreements with the State of Minnesota related to the establishment of a new parts distribution center in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. The first loan agreement is a $300 loan with a ten-year term at an interest rate of 3%, with loan forgiveness if certain criteria is met. The lender will forgive $150 of principal and all accrued interest should the Company attain and maintain agreed upon employment levels on the fifth anniversary date of the loan (and not otherwise be in default) and will forgive the remaining $150 of principal and all accrued interest should the Company attain and maintain employment levels at the tenth anniversary of the loan. Should the Company not attain or maintain the agreed upon levels of employment, $150 in principal plus accrued interest will be due on the fifth anniversary of the closing date with the remaining balance being due and payable on the due date of the loan. The second loan agreement is a $125 no interest loan with a seventy-five-month term that includes partial forgiveness if certain criteria are met. The lender will forgive up to $50 of the $125 loan should ASV attain and maintain job creation goals and wage level commitments. The zero-interest loan is to be paid back through monthly payments over the term of the loan. Covenants The Company’s indebtedness is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The facilities contain customary limitations including, but not limited to, limitations on additional indebtedness, acquisitions, and payment of dividends. The Company is also required to comply with certain financial covenants as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company is limited to capital expenditures not to exceed $2,000 in any fiscal year. The revolving credit facility and the term loans require the Company to maintain a Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.0. Additionally, the term loans require, as per the amended credit agreement, as described in Note 12, “Subsequent Events”, the Company cannot exceed a Leverage Ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 which shall step down to 2.25 to 1.00 by September 30, 2020. The Company was in compliance with all covenants for the period ended September 30, 2018.

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	Note 10. Equity 2017 Equity Incentive Plan On May 11, 2017, the Company adopted the ASV Holdings, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan is 1,250 shares. The total number of shares reserved for issuance however, can be adjusted to reflect certain corporate transactions or changes in the Company’s capital structure. The Company’s employees and members of the board of directors who are not the Company’s employees or employees of the Company’s affliliates are eligible to participate in the 2017 Plan. The 2017 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors. The 2017 Plan provides that the committee has the authority to, among other things, select plan participants, determine the type and amount of rewards, determine the award terms, fix all other conditions of any awards, interpret the plan and any plan awards. Under the 2017 Plan, the committee can grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units. The 2017 Plan requires that the exercise price for stock options and stock appreciation rights be not less then fair market value of the Company’s common stock on date of grant. The Company awarded a total of 10 restricted stock units to directors and non-employees under the 2017 Plan on March 15, 2018. The restricted stock units are subject to the same conditions as the restricted stock awards except the restricted stock units will not have voting rights and the common stock will not be issued until the vesting criteria are satisfied. The following table contains information regarding restricted stock units: September 30, 2018 Outstanding on December 31, 2017 163 Units granted during the period 10 Vested and issued (37 ) Forfeited (33 ) Outstanding on September 30, 2018 103 On March 15, 2018, the Company granted an aggregate of 9 restricted stock units to directors pursuant to the 2017 Plan. These restricted stock units were immediately vested. On March 15, 2018, the Company granted 1 restricted stock unit to a non-employee pursuant to the 2017 Plan. These restricted stock units vest on March 15, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The value of the restricted stock is being charged to compensation expense over the vesting period and the Company has elected to account for foreitures as they occur. Compensation expense includes expense related to restricted stock units of $124 and $96 for the three months and $375 and $231 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Additional compensation expense related to restricted stock units will be $124, $412, and $283 for the remainder of 2018, 2019, and 2020, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The unaudited financial statements, included herein, have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to these rules and regulations, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and have been consistently applied. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of September 30, 2018 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates	Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Company to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures and contingencies. The Company evaluates estimates used in preparation of the accompanying financial statements on a continual basis. We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recent accounting pronouncements are described in Note 6, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements.” Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), and ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue, cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The adoption of ASU 2014-09, using the modified retrospective approach, had no significant impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial position. Revenue continues to be recognized at a point in time for our product sales when products are delivered to or picked up by the customer and revenue for shipping and handling charges continues to be recognized when products are delivered to or picked up by the customer. We continue to reduce revenue for estimates of sales incentives based on probability estimates and for product returns based on historical return rates. Additional information and disclosures required by this new standard are contained in Note 2, “Revenue Recognition”. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Not Yet Adopted In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," (“ASU 2016-01”), subsequently clarified in February 2018 by ASU No. 2018-03, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to ASU 2018-01” (“ASU 2018-03). The amendments in ASU 2016-01, and the clarification in ASU 2018-03, among other things, require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables); and eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, for emerging growth companies. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities associated with the rights and obligations created by those leases. The guidance for lessors is largely unchanged from current U.S. GAAP. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal 2020, for emerging growth companies, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to early adopt and anticipates the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial statements. While we are continuing to assess all the potential impacts of the standard, we currently believe the most significant impact relates to our accounting for our distribution center lease. Under the new guidance, the net present value of the obligation for our lease will appear on the balance sheet. Currently, it is classified as an operating lease and payments are expensed in the period incurred. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s cash flow. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230): Statement of Cash Flows” (“ASU 2016-15”), which clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 also clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, for emerging growth companies. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by eliminating the requirement of performing a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Instead, impairment will be measured using the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the reporting unit. The amended guidance also eliminates the requirement for any reporting unit with a zero or a negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and will require disclosure of the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or a negative carrying amount of net assets. This standard will be effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, for emerging growth companies. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The standard is to be applied prospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting.” This ASU is intended to provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions on a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. This new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period, for emerging growth companies, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements. Except as noted above, the guidance issued by the FASB during the current period is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on individual customer review and current economic conditions. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts at least quarterly. Individual balances exceeding a threshold amount that are over 90 days past due are reviewed individually for collectability. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis by type of receivable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company determines it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts was $111 and $82 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenues result from the sale of goods or services and reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). For its customer contracts, the Company identifies the performance obligations (goods or services), determines the transaction price, allocates the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes the revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. A good or service is transferred when the customer obtains control of that good or service. The Company principally generates revenue from the sale of equipment and parts to dealers, distributors and OEM customers and recognizes revenue at a point in time when control transfers. Transfer of control is generally determined based on the shipping terms of the contract. The Company recognizes revenue for delivered goods or services when the delivered good or service is distinct, control of the good or service has transferred to the customer, and only customary refund or return rights related to the goods or services exist. Generally, there is no-post shipment obligation on product sold other than standard warranty obligations in the normal and ordinary course of business. Provisions for sales program incentives (such as wholesale subsidies, retail subsidies and customer cash), product returns, and discounts and allowances are variable consideration and are accounted for as a reduction of revenue and establishment of a liability (or contra asset receivable as appropriate) using the expected value method. The Company considers historical data in determining its best estimates of variable consideration. These estimates are reviewed regularly for appropriateness, considering also whether the estimates should be constrained in order to avoid a significant reversal of revenue recognition in a future period. If updated information or actual amounts are different from previous estimates of variable consideration, the revisions are included in the results for the period in which they become known through a cumulative effect adjustment to revenue. In addition, the Company’s contracts with customers generally do not include significant financing components or noncash consideration. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract (primarily sales commissions) as selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Statements of Operations, because the amortization period would be less than one year. The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by geographic location and major customer (see Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk) as we believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
Accrued Warranties	Accrued Warranties The Company records accruals for potential warranty claims based on its claim experience. The Company’s products are typically sold with a standard warranty covering defects that arise during a fixed period. A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale. The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience for each product sold. Historical claim experience may be adjusted for known design improvements or for the impact of unusual product quality issues. Warranty reserves are reviewed quarterly to ensure critical assumptions are updated for known events that may affect the potential warranty liability.
Litigation Claims	Litigation Claims In determining whether liabilities should be recorded for pending litigation claims, the Company must assess the allegations and the likelihood that it will successfully defend itself. When the Company believes it is probable that it will not prevail in a particular matter, it will then record an estimate of the amount of liability based, in part, on advice of outside legal counsel.
Defined Benefit Plan	Defined Benefit Plan The Company sponsors a nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) for a former senior executive. The SERP is unfunded. The Company accounts for this plan pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 710, “Compensation – General.” This guidance requires balance sheet recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of the defined benefit plan. Actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits, and any remaining transition assets or obligations that have not been recognized under previous accounting guidance must be recognized in the Statement of Operations. The defined benefit obligation for this plan as of September 30, 2018 is $760, of which, $64 and $696 is reflected in “Accrued Other” and “Other Long-Term Liabilities,” respectively, on the balance sheet. The balance at December 31, 2017 was $803, of which, $64 and $739 was reflected in the “Accrued Other” and “Other Long-Term Liabilities,” respectively. The Company expects to make annual benefit payments of $64 per year over the next five years.
Research and Development Costs	Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs are incurred in the development of new products or significant improvements to existing products.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of federal and state taxes, as applicable, in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that it expects to achieve for the full year. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments as necessary. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $(35), which consists of federal and state taxes of $108 on pre-tax income of $564 offset by a discrete income tax benefit of $(143) related to the finalization of the Company’s 2017 tax returns. The Company’s effective tax rate is affected by recurring items such as state and local taxes, a reduced federal tax rate for foreign derived intangible income, and federal research and development credits. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $257 on pre-tax income of $779. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $(28), which consists of federal and state income tax on it pre-tax income of $583 offset by a discrete income tax benefit of $(147) related primarily to the finalization of the Company’s 2017 tax returns. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $(372), which consists of a federal and state income tax provision of $575 offset by a discrete income tax benefit of $(947) related primarily to the recognition of a deferred tax asset related to a change in status with the conversion from a Minnesota limited liability company to a Delaware corporation on May 11, 2017. At September 30, 2018, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes in the accompanying Statement of Income.
Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk	Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk Caterpillar Inc., an OEM customer, and CEG Distributions PTY Ltd., the Company’s Australian master distributor, accounted for 34% and 37% of the Company’s Net Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 respectively, as well as 64% of the Company’s Accounts Receivable at September 30, 2018. Caterpillar Inc. and CEG Distributions PTY Ltd accounted for 29% and 32% of the Company’s Net Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 respectively, as well as 63% of the Company’s Accounts Receivable at December 31, 2017. Sales by major customer consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017: For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 Percent Percent of Total Amount of Total Amount Caterpillar 16% $ 5,145 19% $ 5,884 CEG Distributions PTY Ltd. 18% 5,890 18% 5,515 Other 66% 21,741 63% 19,236 Total 100% $ 32,776 100% $ 30,635 For the Nine Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 Percent Percent of Total Amount of Total Amount Caterpillar 15% $ 13,952 19% $ 17,420 CEG Distributions PTY Ltd. 14% 12,876 13% 12,225 Other 71% 67,678 68% 63,240 Total 100% $ 94,506 100% $ 92,885 Any disruptions to these two customer relationships could have adverse effects on the Company’s financial results. The Company manages dealer and OEM concentration risk by evaluating in advance the financial condition and creditworthiness of its dealers and OEM customers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, if needed, based upon expected collectability. Any reserves established for doubtful accounts is determined on a case-by-case basis when it is believed the payment of specific amounts owed to us is unlikely to occur. Although the Company has encountered isolated credit concerns related to its dealer base, management is not aware of any significant credit risks related to the Company’s dealer base and generally does not require collateral or other security to support account receivables, other than UCC related sales. The Company has secured a credit insurance policy for certain accounts with a policy limit of liability of not more than $8,600. Revenue by geographic area consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017: For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Percent Percent Percent Percent of Total Amount of Total Amount of Total Amount of Total Amount United States 71% $ 23,058 66% $ 20,112 72% $ 68,449 70% $ 65,171 Australia 20% 6,612 26% 7,875 16% 15,035 20% 18,452 Other 9% 3,106 9% 2,648 12% 11,022 10% 9,262 Total 100% $ 32,776 100% $ 30,635 100% $ 94,506 100% $ 92,885
