Designed for extreme conditions from smarter thinning to heavy-duty final felling.
Komatsu’s 931XC-3 8WD (eXtreme Conditions) harvester is highly manoeuvrable in most types of forests and terrain. With a balanced mix of power, torque and fuel economy, the harvester’s system has been optimized for low working speeds, including a broad powerband and high torque backup for challenging operations. The following features apply:
- Unique 8WD system: For good handling, the 8WD unique double Komatsu Comfort Bogie drive system follows the terrain more closely than other 8WD machines with a fixed rear-axle design, greatly reducing rear ground pressure. It offers high ground clearance and enhanced traction; hydrostatic transmission matching power and traction; and automatic cab/crane leveling.
- Powerful parallel crane: Promotes enhanced production with a single control lever movement that extends the boom/arm on a parallel path. The three-pump hydraulic system enables simultaneous slewing, feeding and manoeuvring, plus a ±180° cab/crane rotation with automatic 4-way cab/crane leveling.
- Modern, large, spacious cab: Important to productivity are operator comfort and visibility. The automotive-quality cab on the 931XC-3 8WD harvester includes a giant front window, ergonomic seat, automatic climate control, sound-deadening measures, and heated and cooled meal storage, as well as an easy-to-understand machine interface.
