| D65-17 crawler dozers  Komatsu America Corp. introduced its new line of D65-17 crawler dozers. The new crawler dozers are powered with the fuel efficient and larger displacement, 8.9 Liter, EPA Tier 4 Interim and EU Stage 3B emission certified Komatsu SAA6D114E-5 engines. A standard (EX), low ground pressure (PX) and a wide (WX) track model are available to offer customers flotation and weight distribution options that best match their applications. Operating weight ranges from 44,355 lbs to 49,315 lbs depending on the version. The new models push with a net (ISO 9249 / SAE J1349) 205 HP at 1950 rpm.Developed primarily for heavy dozing and finishing operations, the D65-17 combines the revolutionary SIGMADOZER blade with a new highly efficient automatic transmission with torque converter lock-up to achieve exceptional productivity and fuel economy. A new Komatsu 6-way Power Angle Tilt (PAT) blade is also available for all models, creating a balanced and agile tractor for light and medium dozing operations. The blade also provides precise grade cutting required for site prep, golf course or house pad applications. The new dozer is equipped with the latest KOMTRAX technology which sends machine operating information to a secure website utilizing wireless technology. Hour meter, location, cautions, load ratio, fuel consumption and maintenance alerts – to name a few of its features – are relayed to the web application for analysis. The KOMTRAX fleet monitoring system increases machine availability, reduces the risk of machine theft, allows for remote diagnosis by the distributor, and provides a wealth of other information to drive business efficiency and productivity.
