Komatsu designed its new Parallel Link Undercarriage System (PLUS) with sealed and lubricated, rotating bushings to wear evenly without requiring a bushing turn. Komatsu testing and field trials suggests that it can last up to twice as long as conventional undercarriage. A taller, hardened link provides longer wear life. Segmented sprockets are designed to shed material which minimizes packing. Carrier rollers have a larger diameter to increase wear life, and track rollers with larger flanges and roller guards that contact the link instead of the pins help maintain track alignment. The undercarriage, which Komatsu manufactures, is standard equipment on the D51EX/PX-22, D61EX/PX-15 and D65EX/PX/WX-15 crawler dozers. PLUS can also be easily retrofit to existing machines.
The 650M is the latest dozer in the Case M Series lineup, replacing the 650L.
The PR 766 crawler dozer is a 422-horsepower unit with operating weights between 101,000 and 119,500 pounds, and it replaces the PR 764 in the company’s line.
The PC238USLC-11 uses a 6.69-liter, Tier 4-F Komatsu SAA6D107E-3 engine rated at 167 net horsepower.
D375A-8 crawler dozer uses a Tier 4-F engine that produces some 20-plus percent more horsepower when the machine reverses
