There are a few positives and a few negatives, nothing special about this machine. Among the positives, the cabin is comfortable, and the visibility is normal. The negatives are the inconvenient placement of various service components, such as filters and drain valves, with inconvenient access. In short, it doesn't perform very well, but in terms of reliability, the machine is good, there are practically no breakdowns with timely maintenance, of course.

I would like to mention the high productivity, easy maintenance, and mega powerful engine! The best assistant for construction work. We have been using it since 2014 and have no thoughts of changing to something new.

I am comparing it with the JCB (as I have worked with both). The first thing that catches my eye is that the Komatsu is noticeably slower and weaker. Furthermore, if you are doing the maintenance yourself instead of sending it to a service center (as everyone has different financial possibilities), it is safe to say that it is not the most convenient when it comes to the gearbox and engine, which consequently makes oil changes difficult and nerve-wracking. Considering all aspects, including the comfort inside the cabin, it is clear that they have cut corners in many areas. My conclusion is that you can still work with it, but if you have a choice, I would prefer the JCB.

The excavator is maneuverable, easy to operate, reliable with a low level of vibration (you can appreciate such an advantage during an 8-hour shift). I can't say that it's the best among Japanese excavators, but it's definitely on par with the others. As for the drawbacks, the bucket could use a slight modernization, as it is clearly outdated.

When working, we encountered a problem with the jaws of the bucket, but it was resolved by replacing the hoses with connectors on the sections. Overall, the WB is a reliable machine. The downside is that the spare parts are expensive, but things don't break down that often.

Since the beginning of operation, there haven't been any warranty cases, as the quality is typical for a Japanese machine. Completing regular maintenance is all that's needed for this machine.

In these Komatsu machines, there is a problem with hydraulic failure periodically. They are very sensitive to oil quality, so attention should be paid to it. Maybe only we had such problems, I don't know if it's normal for everyone else. It could be that the cold weather affects the hydraulic components, although there wasn't a complete failure. We tried to fix it by replacing the oil.

I've operated similar models, and the PC35 MR holds up well. Its mobility and transportation profile are convenient. The engine provides sufficient power, but the cabin space might feel tight for extended use. Maintenance access is straightforward, which is a big plus.

I’m on my third Komatsu D85 and I gotta say, they made the cab way better on these newer ones. Space and AC are a step up, less back pain after long days. The rear view monitor helps a lot when you’re working in tight spots, haven’t whacked anything yet. Engine pulls strong, not much to complain about power, even when dozing big loads. Had a bit of trouble with DEF sensors bugging out, but service cleared it up quick. Centralized lube is a real time saver. All in all, it’s a solid dozer, a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for with features.
