Komatsu Upgrades Tracked Feller-Bunchers
To better meet customer needs, Komatsu is upgrading its XT-5 family of tracked feller-bunchers, adding performance and operator improvements, as well as covering the machines with a special 2-year/5,000-hour warranty program. The XT430-5, XT445L-5 and XT465L-5 models were introduced in 2018, and these advancements were made based on customer feedback.
Komatsu XT-5 machines let customers travel, operate the swing, arm and tool simultaneously for maximum usability. To further boost multi-functioning performance for its customers, Komatsu added 7% more horsepower (331 HP vs. 310 at launch) to the Cummins QSL9 engine and increased the hydraulic flow, while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency.
Travel speed is increased by 25% to further improve productivity. The XT445L-5/XT465L-5 models now reach 3.3 MPH; the XT430-5 model, 3.2 MPH. Added lighting elements improve nighttime visibility of the right track and when using the rear camera, for a total of 13 LED lights brilliantly illuminating nighttime operations.
The special warranty program covers new XT430-5, XT445L-5 and XT465L-5 tracked feller bunchers purchased through March 31, 2021, as well as those purchased since launch. This coverage is in addition to the standard Komatsu CARE coverage which includes 100-, 500-, 1000-, 1,500- and 2,000-hour maintenance services for the first three years or 2,000 hours, whichever occurs first. All of these services are performed using genuine Komatsu filters and fluids.
