Powerful yet efficient

Maximize performance with high power and torque while driving efficiency with a fuel-efficient engine. A sophisticated control system automatically adapts to changes in engine load.
Details about Komatsu forwarder hydrostatic transmission

Technology-driven traction

Get exceptional tractive force thanks to an intelligent hydrostatic transmission system that considers machine load, terrain conditions, power and torque output. Hydraulic retarder overspeed protection on the 875-1 and 895-2 models ensures the driveline won't run too fast.

Customize your controls

Give operators the benefit of machine controls they can fine-tune for sensitivity and speed or smoothness and accuracy – whatever the job demands. Our state-of-the-art MaxiXplorer/MaxiXT system monitors and controls everything from engine and crane to the transmission and service ladders.

Easy to maintain

Less time servicing means more time forwarding. Maintenance is quickly and easily completed with a service-friendly design featuring an electronically powered tilting hood. All filters are located together for easy access under the hood.

Overcome climbing obstacles

When you need to do ground or stump leveling on tough terrain, an optional heavy-duty stacking blade is available. Mounted with a high angle of departure for climbing obstacles, there’s no interference between blade, battery boxes or hood guard.

Cold weather starting

Don’t lose valuable time when the temperatures drop. A standard diesel heater system heats the engine coolant, hydraulic oil and the batteries to facilitate cold-weather starting on the 845-1, 855-3, 875-1 and 895-2.
