No one wants a Crapomatsu, I bet Cat will come out with a D12 when there is more of a market for them.

Maybe so, but for now, the D11 is still "junior" compared to the SD........ Nothing against CAT, but for now second place will have to do as far as the biggest dozer goes........:pc:

After running Komatsus' for 7 years straight, both old and new, I would run Komatsu over Crapapillar any day of the week.

Better on fuel and way smoother and responsive.

There are bigger dozers then the 575A, one track and one wheel. Just not in production any more.


They're for stripping at mines, but from what I've heard its more cost efective to strip with 2 D9s then an 11. I'm not sure if that compares to the 575A.
