Nice dozer. You are correct in it's either cat or John deere. Komatsu is good and we have support in our area. We just did a demo this summer on the komatsu 51 Very nice machine.
Me and my dad are having a problem getting to the hydronic hoses for the blade and can’t find the access for it, we don’t wanna take the grill off because the radiator is connected do you have any ideas?
Isn't there an access panel on the bottom side? I think those lines come in through the rh side of the belly .. probably have to drop front belly pan ...??
I welded some 12 inch pieces of bucket cutting edge on the bottom of my ripper teeth so they are more like a cultivator sweep, I find I get a much better till per pass in the hard packed clay also most of the roadways and parking lots we build they want a 150mm lift of base gravel tilled into the top 150mm of clay and then packed to 100%. They also work well for tilling up the site after a rain shower then after a couple hours of sunshine you're back in business.
What letter designation? ..... for like an older C I would be 190 to 220 range ...new machine like an L - probably 250 ... rates have had to increase with the high price of fuel & repairs ... best of luck
@@robwar2288 that should push goof ... in our area of western Iowa- a machine like that would be 225 an hour or so ...maybe 250 an hour with a good operator....
Hey thanks for doing this video man. Extremely informative. Do you remember a few weeks ago when I asked you about my property and clearing the virgin soil? Do you think this JD 850k would be a good option, with a root rake (and root knife on the back) attached? Would it have enough power to do what I need done? The native vegetation is not real “rooty”, just native grasses and some creosote bush. No trees at all. imgur.com/cwTRWQK This crawler looks awesome. Thanks again for uploading it. Always learn a ton.
Thank you for the picture - def. helps ... You may need a dozer in select area to get rid of the bigger "brushy" plants .. however, i still maintain a brush hog (rotary mower) to chew it up - followed by a heavy disk or plow will be your best bet
