If you want a good opinion on Komatsu - call Bill Rowan at Sundbelt Industrial Trucks, Dallas, Texas. 214 819.5140 (tele number from memory- if it ain't right try dialing 411) They have been a long time Komatsu dealer and were a Tailift distributor at a point in time. They also have a branch in Houston, TX.
It appears Komatsu is going thru some changes now like many manufactures, like personnel ( I understand field sales upport staff has been reduced or something like that) & will be moving production facilities to South Carolina by years end.
