Southeast Florida | D4H LGP the H does not stand for high track H is the series. D4H has 3304 turbo engine with steering clutches (YUCK!) You want to find either a later series D5, M or N in that size or a differential steering D6H LGP or later R or T. The D6’s have a 4 way blade which does not angle. There's 2, D6H LGP's on Iron Planet, $ 16-20K but both have a cab and you can't see $hit from the cab. Most operators with those cabs ran with doors open so they could see the blade. We had a lot of LGP dozer’s in the sugarcane fields to push stuck haul wagons and D4H was as close to useless as they came. It's hard to finish grade with them because they have clutches and you cannot turn under a load or the drive track just spins out. The high tracks are way cheaper to repair all the way around and especially the transmission. They’re also a lot easier to clean the tracks out. The high tracks have a lot more visibility from the seat than any other on the market due to how high the seat is. Komatsu is very expensive to work on in the transmission department and depreciate very quickly. The golf course finish operators like the JD dozers because they’re nimble and low to get under trees. | |
