Dozers
Compact Design

Designed primarily for slope work and fine grading applications, the new D21A-8 and D21P-8 crawler dozers feature hydroshift drive transmissions and powerful, fuel-efficient Tier 2 emission certified Komatsu 4D94LE-2 engines. The lightweight, compact design of both machines allows contractors to use the same trailer used for skid steers while still remaining below weight limits that would require drivers to obtain a CDL.
