The long track, low ground pressure D65PXi-18 introduced recently by Komatsu America Corp. was designed specifically for functionality in soft or wet conditions, offering improved stability for finish grading applications. It is powered by a 217-hp (162-kW) SAA6D114E-6 Tier 4 Final emissions certified engine.

Highlights of the crawler dozer include next-generation intelligent machine control. “The machine senses blade load, minimizes track slip, and ensures operators get the most from every push,” said Jason Anetsberger, Komatsu product manager. “We believe the difference in dozing efficiency between conventional machine operation and intelligent machine control technology is exceptional.”
