Been swamped at work.ĥ75: " What state or country are those 275 large dozers in?" You see, I reckon if I ever stop learning, I'll be dead from the neck up.
If this should happen to upset some people, I don't see that as being my problem since I don't deliberately set out to upset people, only bring out the truth to the best of my knowledge and understanding. I try at all times to present the truth of the matter, to the best of my knowledge. I just dispute the claim that Kummagutsa was the preferred machine for chaining and I have the evidence of my own eyes, which were actually there on the front of my face looking at it, to tell me that this was NOT the case anywhere that I did or saw it.Īs stated elsewhere, my main aim on this site and others where I post is to share my 40+ years of knowledge and experience with those who have less of either or both as I see no point in spending 40+ years gathering the knowledge and experience and then taking it all to the grave with me. Now I am not saying that the gentleman who claims to have the pen friend DownUnder is a liar - far from it. And I either did chaining or saw it done in 3 states over 30 years before it was mostly stopped. How dare they?Īs for pen friends in Australia who send photos and details of the mostly Kummagutsa dozers chaining down here, I don't know what 10 square mile part of Australia that might have been in but I stand by what I said earlier about only ever having seen 2 Kummagutsa dozers engaged in chaining work. I do have to admit that I have not yet operated a Kummagutsa loader built since about 2004 so they may have changed it without seeking my permission and/or without telling me. They do but that Kummagutsa loader linkage one is the longest-running design flaw that I think I have ever seen in any machine if, as I suspect, it is a hangover from the old Hough loaders. That is not to say that other manufacturer's machines don't have design faults. I also don't believe that they have the length of service life engineered into them that their main competitor seems to have. However, I do see that some Kummagutsa machines have some design faults and I will not back down from listing and describing those faults. I have actually enjoyed operating several Kummagutsa machines, notably a GD825 grader. I do not believe that Kummagutsa products are trash or junk, at least until they wear out which, unfortunately, they seem to do quicker than similar machines produced by their main competitor. It took a Terex 82-30 dozer to get them all out. A D55S loader went down first, a D60A dozer sunk trying to rescue it and another D60A did the submarine thing trying to rescue those two.
I began using the name 'Kummagutsa' back in 1973 when all 3 'Kummagutsa' machines on the job that I was then working on got bogged in the same bog hole AT the same time. I am not about to stop using this term just because it gets up the nose of ONE poster on ONE BB who seems to want to put up arguments that many others disagree with and then ignore any and all suggestions that he put up some indisputable proof of his arguments - like comparative sales figures. Re name-calling and product trashing: Throughout my posts here and at other sites, I have called Komatsu machines 'Kummagutsa'. This dozer has a 3.6m high and 7.4m wide blade that can push 90 cubic yards of mass.Re 'Kummagutsa' and name-calling/product trashing. The Komatsu D575A-3SD is the world’s largest bulldozer, with operating weight of 153 tonnes and an 858kW engine that is capable of generating 1167hp and 1800rpm. The company reengineered the mainframe on the Komatsu dozer to extend the number of rebuilds or overhauls, extending the overall lifecycle of the machine. Komatsu D475A-8 crawler dozer has an 890-horsepower engine and an operating weight of 254,193 pounds. How much fuel does a Komatsu 475 use? How much horsepower does a Komatsu 475 dozer have?
Komatsu D575AĢ4 feet 3 inches (7.39 m) (width of standard blade) The D575A-3 SD Super Dozer can move 125 cubic yards (96 m3) of material per pass if equipped with an optional blade…. Both models can move 90 cubic yards (69 m3) of material per pass using the standard blade.
