Komatsu

Komatsu's SK815-5 standard equipment two-speed travel system allows for low impact shift-on-the-go speed changes. The hydraulic self-leveling (up only) bucket with 3,950 pounds of breakout force enhances productivity. The optional super-flow hydraulic system increases the available oil flow for attachments from 16 gpm to 26 gpm. The joystick-mounted control system incorporates momentary reverse flow and multiple electrical inputs enabling the machine to power most attachments. A 41-inch wheelbase provides a stable ride and platform for operating high production attachments.
