Komatsu D10s Crawler/Loader

[BD Housand]

I have a grey market Komatsu that pops the welds on the track pins when turning. Is there a cure for this, and/or is there a possibility to change to rubber tracks without major undercarriage changes? Thanks, BD

From what I've read, pushing a heavy load and turning is a no-no. Best to push forwards, back-up, take a different angle and push forwards again. The Komatsu and Yanmar machines both behave this way.

Thank you for the tips! It tough being a rookie on this little machine.

Looks to be a good machine.

the D-10 I have looks like this minus the top, and with a backhoe added. I think in this picture is the same guy that sold to me, over near Tulsa.
