We have the Isuzu 370 CXH transporter carting a Komatsu D41 P-5.

Firstly on the Isuzu as you can see they looked like a undershot ewe. The driver comfort was more than terrible and if you hit a bad bump on the rural roads the driver could leave the seat and on landing have a few things to say about the truck that weren’t very complimentary.

This beauty was typically reliable as Isuzu's are and clocked around 1.15 Million km. We could cart close on 15 ton load.

The Komatsu dozer also was one of the best models they made. Japanese import, they weighed around 14.5 ton with non turbo 6 cyl engine.

Very stable machine and as we used to say could drive around a side of a house. Not sure if it could climb up the Trump Tower.

This dozer ended up with a winch on it and went into forestry. Last time I saw it for sale it had 12,000hrs on clock and looked like no one loved it any more.
