With a wide cab space compared to the Caterpillar, a reclining backrest and adjustable settings, operators will be very comfortable in this excavator. The armrests are also adjustable with the console.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And for those long breaks onsite? The seat can recline right back to allow for a quick kip (not that we\u2019d recommend napping on the job!).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for noise and vibration, there isn\u2019t much of it thanks to the viscous damper mounting in the cab.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And of course, a necessity in Aus\u2014this excavator features an option of automatic air conditioning!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Overall, a comfortable and ergonomic working environment. <\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 357px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cab space is a little more cramped than the Komatsu, but still offers a decent amount of comfort, thanks to the suspension seat and dual armrests.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The suspension seat helps reduce operator fatigue and makes for a smoother, more comfortable ride.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The operator controls are very similarly laid out to the Komatsu, and are easy to reach.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The newer models feature easy touch-screen controls for ease of operation, including the Cat-grade control, where the operator can set the max depth.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Visibility is good with large glass panels, but is encumbered by the large plastic side panel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">The newer models don\u2019t have this side panel, and also feature greater visibility with 360-degree cameras, for a full view of the worksite.

This ensures minimal fuel is used. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">The Komatsu is also easily serviced, with long service intervals for engine oil, engine oil filter and the hydraulic filter. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">With its lifting mode, the Komatsu\u2019s hydraulic pressure is automatically raised, increasing lifting capacity by 7%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Its rust-proof fuel tank is also a huge bonus. <\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">The Cat 320D L offers powerful performance thanks to its C6.4 engine with ACERT technology. The automatic engine speed control helps maximise fuel efficiency. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">The design of this excavator allows for easy maintenance and extended service intervals.

This specification is called the Komatsu Australia Ltd Standard Specification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comparing the two, both are incredibly high-quality machines that are evenly matched. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Komatsu Vs Caterpillar Price<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caterpillar 320D L models have been listed between $71,940 and $225,000, averaging at $122,801 (used). The current average price of a 320D L listing is $108,800.*<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Komatsu PC200-8 models range between $15,400 and $172,000, averaging at $75,321 (used). The current average price of a PC200-8 listing is $72,500.*<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to price, it\u2019s important to consider cost of ownership and value retention. While Caterpillar can be more expensive upfront, they do have better value retention long-term, according to EquipmentWatch. For cost of ownership, these brands are evenly matched.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caterpillar &amp; Komatsu Excavator Specifications<\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 125px; text-align: center;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 251px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Komatsu PC200-8<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 232px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Caterpillar 320D L<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 125px; text-align: center;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 251px; text-align: center;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 232px; text-align: center;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 125px; text-align: center;\"><b>Engine<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 251px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Komatsu SAA6D107E-1, 6-cylinder<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 232px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cat C6.4 ACERT<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 125px; text-align: center;\"><b>Net Horsepower<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 251px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">148<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 232px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">148<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 125px; text-align: center;\"><b>Operating Weight<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 251px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20,010 kg<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 232px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20,330 kg<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 125px; text-align: center;\"><b>Fuel Tank Capacity<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 251px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">400 L<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 232px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">410 L<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 125px; text-align: center;\"><b>Ground Clearance<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 251px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">440 mm<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 232px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">600 mm (standard undercarriage)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 125px; text-align: center;\"><b>Digging Depth<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 251px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Up to 6620 mm (for 2925 mm arm)<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 232px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6560 mm<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 125px; text-align: center;\"><b>Max Reach Along Ground<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 251px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9700 mm<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 232px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9730 mm<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 125px; text-align: center;\"><b>Tail Swing Radius<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 251px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2750 mm<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 232px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2750 mm<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Komatsu Vs Caterpillar Videos<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What better way to get a good look at these excavators than some quick videos?

Configurations may differ from the Australian models.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Verdict<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though these excavators aren\u2019t exactly comparable (thanks to Caterpillar\u2019s longer carriage) they are fairly similar in most other aspects when you take a look at their specs. They both have 143 net horsepower, the Cat is only slightly heavier at 20,330 kg, it also holds 10L more fuel than the Komatsu and has a higher ground clearance at 600 mm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to cost, the Komatsu does come in cheaper, so you\u2019d be getting those similar specs at a much lower price. However, the Caterpillar does have a better value retention long-term, so if you\u2019re looking to sell your machine once the job is done, this might be the better option. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As usual, it all really depends on the job and dealer support. Check out each dealer and make sure you\u2019re comfortable that they understand your needs and the machine prior to making a purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you think of this Cat Komatsu comparison?
