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 As for the drawbacks, the bucket could use a slight modernization, as it is clearly outdated.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.

Pros low cost of the whole excavator, maintenance, and small fuel consumption. The rest is all cons. I personally use Krot after selling Komatsu, it is cheaper and doesn't lag behind in functionality. But to each their own, as they say.

I needed to dig a small pit for the foundation on the base. We rented this mini excavator, to be honest, I thought it would take a long time to dig. Anyway, it dug everything and even leveled the ground in just 3 hours, and it did a lot more, it's super awesome. Here you have it, a mini excavator that works so efficiently, it's truly surprising.

I'm not thrilled with small equipment because there are enough flaws and deficiencies in it. The soil pours onto the hydraulic cylinder of the dump without any protection, which is not provided for. This is true even for Japanese machines and relatively new ones. For this amount of money, you can already get something better from the Chinese.

I can't say anything good or bad about the Komatsu WA600 loader. We bought a machine from 1993 because we decided not to overpay for a new one. It's not as maneuverable as we would have liked, and it becomes a problem when working in a limited space. The traction is normal, but sometimes it gets stuck (in clay). We had some minor problems with the levers and hydraulics. They were resolved quickly, but they cost a significant amount. The cabin is nothing special. In videos on the internet, this machine looks decent in operation, but in reality, it's just an average one. It may be better than the Chinese ones, but it doesn't stand out among other machines in terms of extraordinary features or super reliability like the Japanese ones.

I have a PC60, and I have encountered a problem that I can't figure out. It starts up fine but loses RPMs, as if it's trying to stall, and intermittently loses power. I have changed all the filters. It seems like there is air in the system, so I start bleeding the air from the fuel filter, but it keeps going and going.

These machines are fire. I have been working on a Komatsu for a couple of weeks now. Before that, I had an old Cat. Komatsu is very good (the most optimal option both in terms of quality and repair). In terms of economy, productivity, and convenience, it is a very advantageous machine, plus it is comfortable. I was working on loading gravel. The bucket is spacious enough, and there is amortization. I think Komatsu will serve us for many years, despite the fact that the more complex the machine, the less reliable it is. In these quiet Japanese exams, as I can see, everything is really thought out to the smallest detail, there is nothing to complain about. I am quite satisfied with my work on it so far.
