I much prefer the Komatsu because its seat is really suitable for everything, even for drivers who are very tall and especially with a large frame. Unlike the Caterpillar seat which is not suitable for very tall and overweight people. I find that unfortunate . This is my opinion and the experience that I have and that I have also observed around me.
Hitachi. I was part of a crew that ran one from 7k hours to 18k! It was completely worn out but that engine still started and ran great! It was a 270, best machine I’ll ever run.
I believe that all the information regarding the radiator placement and the hydro-static transmission is totally inaccurate. I've ran both Komatsu and CAT excavators for years. Excavators don't have a transmission. They are driven by hydraulic motors powered by the hydraulic pump. That is what makes them hydrostatic. Speed is determined by flow, or volume of fluid supplied to the hydraulic motors. But this is different than a hydrostatic transmission in a dozer, for example, where there are also gears for different speeds. Also, the implement on these machines is a "bucket" not a "blade". Good information, but much of it is inaccurate and dose not apply.
Must be ai generated... that radiator design in saying that Komatsu is at the back whereas Cats is in thr conventional front mount, is TRUE... Just not in an the excavators... it's in the new dozers. He even says d6 at some point...
I'm not sure of the accuracy of the video. However as a long time operator I can say around here from the late 80s through the 90s Komatsu dominated in excavators. Since 2000 the seen here is Cat, then JohnDeer, Komatsu has almost disappeared from the seen. Not sure what caused that as other types of equipment like backhoes being dominated by Case, have always been different brands based on machine. So i assume the market here is well based on what works best.
I noticed you didn't mention the cat 336GC which is designed for fuel efficient and smoother even the cat 3D grade control that once you set the machine will not let you go past the depth, next time actually put the machines that are built for the same things against each other instead of making sure the brand you like would win and I know because I operate the cat 336GC everyday and when we have more than one job going i also run the komatsu and the hydraulic pressure is a lot stronger on the cat. I actually like running both machines and I wouldn't have any problem running the komatsu everyday if it calls for me to sometimes like it does
Compare fuel useage with gal per hour not word salads! Where is purchase price comparision? Where is projected routine daily and periodic maintenance times and costs? When does an operator shift gears in an excavator? More actual numbers and less yak yak would make this comparison more meaningful. So which machine is the favorite? The tests never compare each machines production i.e. how long to load a yard of similar material for each machine or how long to load a similar sized haul truck! With out taking a position as to which is the best the whole title for this video is misleading. Why talk about a D6 in an excavator comparison? I am not happy when I give a thumbs down for what took Extreme Force time and effort to produce, I will give Extreme Force another view to see if this channel can stay on topic and answer who the best is or not promise a comparison and then not take a position as to who or which machine is best. Do either of these machines lock the owners out making field fixes difficult or impossible? How long to to preform daily checks and warm up? Each 15 minutes of difference adds up to a full work day of production each month. Ray
@@chippyjohn1 OK, but whatever scale is used for comparison results will be unchanged and still valid. I have a preference for imperial measurements where a gal is equal to 160oz. Ray
This video is giving wrong knowledge about both machines... Do NOT!! take this video seriously, both have hydraulic transmission, fuel consomption is now way less in cat,they can both have the same tech, and when it s coming to Cab, Cat Cab is way more advance and comfortable than Komastu.... What a crapy and fake video.
Why are we talking about switching gears in an excavator 😂
Right? I'm like tf is he talking about seeing over the blade lol

You have a bulldozer and an excavator documentary in the same video,

Always Komatsu..

@@Th3-Moz Well that makes sense. I won't trust, watch, or share this channel. Thanks
I think he was talking about a dozer.
Yeah I agree they have things way backwards it would make sense if it were dozers
Jackass is talking CAT dozer lol. Thumbs down
Komatsu
Never seen a HEX with front or rear mounted cooling packs... They are always mounted on the side.
You have blended dozers and excavator together. Try again.
Komatsu my Uncle swore komatsu dozers and excavators
Komatsu hands-down
"The engine and the cooling system is located in the front of 336"? The heck are you talking about? Stop making videos with wrong info

Didn't know excavators had gearboxes lmao
There are 3 planetary gearboxes on a excavator!

Thanks for the feedback. We'll keep this in mind!
@@Extr3meForce Thanks for reading my comments, Good Luck
You mean litres per hour. If you say gallons people dont know which one. Litres are the international standard.

@rs2024-s4u 96% of the human population uses litres, just fyi.

I prefer JCB 🇬🇧👷
Made in Japan is Always better unless you are dumb
Catiplier
Honestly I use Volvo
Volvo cabins are a lot more comfy then any other brand
@@randyjnocharles You're not wrong.
@@8ZRD11R i know I’m not🤣 I’ve stepped inside a lot of excavators ànd volvos are the best when it comes to comfort
Liebherr
Case
Caterpillar leads the way!
CAT #1 in the world
The best in the world is Caterpillar
Hate this guy and his AI voice
