Even for its size, the EU Stage V emissions compliant dozer offers unrivalled visibility with its distinctive super-slant nose, razor sharp response, heavyweight performance and lightweight consumption.

Operating weights of the D71EX-24/PX-24 range from 22,600-24,000kg with blade capacity up to 5m³ and the Komatsu engine puts out 179kW of power at 2,100rpm.

The dozer’s Parallel Link Undercarriage System features rotating bushings to help minimise maintenance downtime and cost of ownership. EXi and PXi versions benefit from second generation Intelligent Machine Control, the iMC 2.0, that continuously scans the jobsite and uses the data to plan the next pass.

It comes with ergonomic one-touch controls to allow any operator to drive like a pro.
