Komatsu D375A-6 Documentary

[@KCIREDERF10]

Always glad to see a post by You. You are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for posting Justin - take care! Fred.

[@PAmining]

Thank you I appreciate it!

I would love to spend a few shifts on that machine. I ran 355's in the early 80's. They were not much of a tractor compared to D9H models. Then I ran 375's around 1991 for a while. The Komatsu cab gives MUCH better visibility than the new Cat cabs. What those 375's didn't have was the bogey rollers on the undercarriage. Rough shift in a rock pile pushing to a loader compared to the ride the Cat D10N's I was also familiar with. The D 10 N would outrun, out push the 375 Komatsu. BUT...these Komatsu's climb so much better than any high drive Cat!!!! That was a BIG advantage pushing to a loader or benching. This one with the bogey rollers, more power would be a nice machine to operate.

Awesome, thanks for your documentary about heavy vehicle

[@larrydunlop378]

Thanks Justin. Another great video! Love the big Komatsu's! Thanks for doing them for us.

[@tooez90]

Thanks for the video Justin...always look forward to learning something new...Komatsu 375...one of my favorites ...I was told the 575 is no longer in production...sad day ; (

[@PAmining]

Yes the 575 is no longer offered. That machine will be featured in a documentary in the future.

[@Bowiiihowdy]

@@PAmining I heard it can be special ordered tho

[@chadperreault6237]

@@Bowiiihowdy the engine no longer meets emissions. I have heard Komatsu is no longer producing parts for them.

[@PAmining]

@@Bowiiihowdy I don't believe so. One of the problems was Komatsu had to stop the production line of 475s in order to make one 575. And being that the 475 is a better seller, the sale of a single 575 would be greatly offset by the lack of 475s built.

Great to see another video from you wish there were more!

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

Another great walk-around. For me, your video replaces the prospectus. ;-)

Great instructive video brother,i am an operator myself and heavy equipment is one of my passions!.Your videos are awesome,ive been subscribed to your channel for years!. (BTW)...I just happen to drive trough the coal region some years ago and drove by the mining site where they have the old faded pink Demag with the yellow boom on it..It was cool to see it in person after seeing it in your vids for years!👍 Keep it up!🤘

[@PAmining]

Well thanks I appreciate it! The coal region is fun for sure! Yeah that old girl is still going after all these years. Spent many hours around her filming

[@danielmarshall4587]

[@tuberman7371]

Please do a D9g documentary please I really want to see one.

[@PAmining]

Absolutely

[@essentialdiecast6405]

Where do you get your information? It is incredible to hear you rattle off specs, years, and advantages over previous models.

[@PAmining]

Lots of research! It takes days to put together what I want to talk about in the video. Thanks!

[@reallyslowcustom2514]

I like the older D355 or D455 hell super cool video

[@logdog8920]

Looks like another Kick ass dozer from KOMATSU.

[@magjag1669]

Have you ever done a Docu on the old Dynahoe backhoe...I was a kid in the 70's when I first saw that machine. I miss the huge, loud machines of the 60's/70's

[@PAmining]

I actually have not although I have seen a few of them in my travels. Thanks

[@js911100]

This channel is awesome 😎

[@lukestephens1846]

Good job thank 👍

[@diggermitch1]

what mine site was this shot at and are they done mining there

[@M.Nusur-Lpkmecha]

Good job

[@rollingcoal9500]

So awesome! One question, do the growlers on this machine come larger than a standard dozer?

[@chadperreault6237]

if working in rock the 24" shoes are prefered. the 28" and 32" are desired on softer materials when lower ground pressure is required

[@scruffy6151]

Thank you.

You need one, Scruff!

@@lewiemcneely9143 and what am I going to do with one 🤣. I can not have more than two cars in my driveway without paying extra. Just think of the bill I would get for having that in my driveway and the ass chewing for tearing up the black top 🤣🤣 but, it sure be fun to have. So how are you doing, me just waiting on the snow to go bye, bye.

@@scruffy6151 You could go sit, shed facial hair and listen to the radio and nobody will bother you much with that thing sitting there because they'd be afraid you'd pull a Neemier or something.

[@ahabeger]

Is there any modern equipment that can trace its lineage back to IH / Dresser origins, or has some common design elements of the old brands?

[@logdog8920]

Yes, the Dresta brand is the modern day spin off of IH/Dresser. Back in the 90's Komatsu bought out Dresser, then they incorporated the superior planetary final drive design of the earlier TD15, TD20, into their own dozers. They then sold the Dresser design, to a Polish company. At the current time the machines have the Dresta name. I think that China has some control in this company. So yes, the old IH/Dresser genes, live on in the new Komatsu and Drestas.

[@S70AMG]

@@logdog8920 komatsu only bought dresser trucks. Some haulpaks , 630 + series. Liugong bought dresser dozers

[@BillRayDrums]

Wasn't the 375 the model made infamous by the "Killdozer" guy in Colorado? Asking for a friend

[@BohrokO]

I think it was the D355A

[@garymuse9009]

That was a D355A model

How does the port for the diesel tank end up working if its lower than the tank itself?

With a pump truck and pressure

KOMATSU D375A-6

[@evadvalcourt]

I ran one a few years ago, it’s no d10 thats for sure

[@PAmining]

Let's be real, how do you beat a Cat lol

[@TheIrongutz]

Yup, I ran these as well and not a big fan. Rough as hell compared to a CAT and we had Komatsu engineers work with us to try and emulate the CAT controls which were better but still not the same. You can buy 2 Komatsu dozers to one CAT but you get what you pay for. The Komatsu 475-A is far better to operate than the 375 due to it being heavier.

[@ЮрийСарычев-в1м]

На севере чем проще тем лучше

[@ericlakota6512]

Only thing is komatsu should have high drive like cat but they feel they dont need it i sopose they have their resons i know the supper dozer and only few others have the high drives i think its great ismdear only thing that might perswaid me into cat over all others
