In addition to E and P modes, a new H modes helps operators maintain ground speed while operating under heavy loads.<\/p>\n<p>Fuel consumption is reduced up to an additional 5 % over the prior model via a more efficient engine.<\/p>\n<p>The Komatsu Variable Geometry Turbocharger (KVGT) creates excellent engine response and helps maintain a high level of passive regeneration to ensure fuel isn\u2019t wasted on cleaning the exhaust filter.<\/p>\n<p>More than 99 percent of Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filter regeneration is performed with no action required by the operator.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Tolomeo, Komatsu product manager said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe D61-24 dozer combines the visibility and productivity strengths of its predecessor with blade durability and equipment-speed upgrades in the new model. \u00a0Also, we think operators will really like the H-Mode enhancement for high-duty cycle applications requiring extra engine speed,&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Other \u00a0features on the D61-24 crawler dozer include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A choice between quick-shift, three-speed mode and a variable, 20-speed customizable transmission mode to suit personal preferences.<\/li>\n<li>Proprietary engine and hydrostatic transmission technology that improves machine efficiency and cuts fuel consumption.<\/li>\n<li>New auto-idle shutdown and economy modes that help reduce idle time and save fuel.<\/li>\n<li>Standard rear-view monitoring system that promotes increased operator awareness of potential worksite hazards.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0KOMTRAX telematics system and monitor provides key machine metrics, including KDPF status, DEF consumption, fuel level, operating hours, location, cautions and maintenance alerts.<\/li>\n<li>Large, multi-lingual, 7 inch, high-resolution LCD monitor with Ecology Guidance that helps operators monitor machine performance for maximum fuel efficiency and follow real-time integrated diagnostics for troubleshooting without a laptop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The D61EX\/PX-24 is equipped with Komatsu-designed HST that allows for Quick-Shift or Variable speed selection.<\/p>\n<p>Hydrostatic steering eliminates steering clutches and brakes, providing smooth powerful turns. Fully electronic control provides full automatic shifting and enables smooth control. An electronic fuel control dial controls engine speed.<\/p>\n<p>Machine operation is simple because brake function has been integrated into the decelerator pedal.\u00a0Machine travel speed can be controlled using one pedal.<\/p>\n<p>The pedal function can be changed by a mode selector switch.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Decelerator mode:<\/strong> The pedal can decelerate engine rpms and vehicle travel speed. It can be used for all applications.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brake mode:<\/strong> The pedal can decelerate vehicle travel speed while maintaining high-engine speed. This mode can be helpful to maintain work-equipment speed, while using the brake function.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The D61EX\/PX-24 has an integrated ROPS (ISO 3471) cab constructed with\u00a0high rigidity and superb sealing performance to sharply reduce noise and vibration for the operator and discourage dust from entering the cab.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, side visibility is increased because external ROPS \u00a0structure and posts are not required.<\/p>\n<p>The \u00a0cabuses a mount damper system that provides the kind of excellent shock and vibration absorption which conventional mounting systems cannot.<\/p>\n<p>The silicon-oil-filled cab damper mount helps to isolate the cab from the machine body, suppressing vibration and providing a quiet, comfortable operating environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improved blade response, faster work equipment speed and new fast-blade mode for exceptional high-speed grading Komatsu America Corp has introduced the new D61-24 crawler dozer for any grading or earthmoving application.
