Komatsu is a well established Japanese brand, they are a major competitor to Caterpiller.
They are very well made and command excellent resale prices.
Komatsu dozers are great for grading especially in tight areas. These are generally on tracks, or are called crawler dozers.
Because tracks move on a set level very well. There are many types of tracks for many purposes, but most have very good traction. Tires tend to bounce around more. The blade is shaped to move a lot of material. They are well designed for grading and shaping. They are often used for grading ditches bcause they can grade on an angle. Some have blades that can tip so you can change flat ground into shaped ground. They are popular for road work, they do not load, but they grade much better.
It's a reliable dozer often available used on eBay. Have an idea how many hours you want on the machine. Many of these dozers come with 6-way blades. Some cabins come with heaters. People also like to find out how many hours are on the sprockets, tracks, and rails. Hour meters are more telling about the toll taken than the age of the machine. These are the things that are always in the dirt and always moving. Sand will wear them out more quickly than clay. On the other hand clay is often hard to grade. Auctions are a very popular way to buy dozers. EBay is an emerging method for buying dozers. To watch for your perfect kamatsu dozer, we provide an auction search and alerting service .
