Komatsu is going to show off their updated D65-16 at Bauma. I believe they originally unveiled it at Intermat in France last year. I haven't seen anything about it in the states yet.

    I agree Cat is still no 1 but these are going back to look like a real tractor

    nice looking bit of kit shame they can't put high line on them....then they will beat cats hands down

    Whats wrong with the tracks they have?

    Nothing is wrong with them. High drive just means more parts to buy to replace an undercarriage. Nothing has come through to the dealers in the US about this machine as of yet. Not sure when they plan on launching it here.

    Doosan machines what pieces of junk they are....Komatsu are a very good machine dozers and excavators but in my opinion the d65 is better than the d6 cat anyway i've been on both and prefer the komatsu but in answer to your question there is nothing wrong with the tracks they have i like the high line set up better

    Have you seen the new D7E Electric drive Cat? It has conventional tracks not high drive. Sign of the times, maybe.:beatsme
