Test Run: Komatsu’s -11 Excavators Equipped with intelligent Machine Control 2.0 | The Dirt #97

I wish you would have spent a little bit more time on the accuracy of the semi-automatic system. We are actually looking to buy an exact one like that. Great video and keep up the good work! cheers

What are you curious about regarding accuracy? I replied to another comment about the accuracy being +/- .14' from the design surface.

I’ve looked at probably every single video on KZbin and it seems to good to be true😅. But after speaking to local contractors, the reply is: what you see on video is exactly how it works. I’m already a big fan of Komatsu and I think the IMC is a pretty sweet system.

I like Kobelco, Link -Belt, Komatsu and Deere. Just about everything 😄

Interesting. I have been going back and forth, Cat, Komatsu, and Volvo. 20 to 25 ton class. Thank you.

Komatsu was the first with integrated GPS, they are quite a bit ahead of the game. Put it head to head with anything on the market offered today and it will be an easy decision. These are made in Chattanooga, depending on your dealer it’s pretty easy to get a factory tour and get to their demo yard in Cartersville.

@@CDFJCB The integrated GNSS antennas and other components are made by TopCon - one of the best names in the game. You can also use a trimble radio for corrections if you are running a trimble base. One thing Bryan neglected to mention is that these machines are designed for a maximum deviation of .14' from design surface - that is pretty impressive.

Exactly. The accuracy at the speed you can pull the stick in is crazy. We do have some guys running the Topcon with Trimble converter to run with their base station. This technology has been game changing.
