The Key Features pages can be used as a walk-around. Walk-arounds are intended to assist the salesperson when they
have the opportunity to make a presentation to a customer(s) with a real machine. Walk-arounds offer the well prepared
salesperson with a great opportunity to “sell” the features and benefits of the Komatsu dozer from the machine itself.
Using these printed features and benefits, start at the left hand corner of the blade and walk around the machine,
pointing out the items that you have selected to talk about.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES D31EX-22 vs. Deere 450J LT
Test Highlights
• Move More: During production testing, the D31EX-22 was 29% more productive and had 17.8% better overall efficiency
(material moved per fuel used). Deere is touting their lower fuel economy but their machine is considerably less productive
so at the end of the day the customer can get more work done with the Komatsu D31-22. If both machines were worked at
maximum load for 8 hours (not normal for this sized machine) the difference in fuel used would be less than 3 gallons!
• See More: The D31-22 had superior forward visibility, a 7 foot advantage, compared to the 450J. The unrivaled forward
visibility of the D31-22 maximizes the productivity of an operator. The D31-22 is more forgiving to new operators and allows
them to be more productive, faster. This Komatsu advantage is gained from placing the operator closer to the blade via a
mid-mount cab, incorporating a SuperSlant nose, and moving the coolers to the rear of the machine.

The D31EX-22 spectator average noise level was 6.5 dB(A) less. This makes a much quieter environment for co-workers
and jobsite neighbors.
When doing side by side demos with the 450J pay attention to the noise levels of each machine, in and out of the cab.
Your customer will notice the difference with their ears. Two types of tests were performed, static (machine does not
move) and traveling.

same ground speed.

OPERATOR ENVIRONMENT COMPARISON D31EX-22 vs. Deere 450J LT
The D31EX has better blade visibility than the Deere 450J
LT. The operator has less obstructions blocking his forward
view.
Many areas of the D31 were redesigned to optimize blade visibility including the lower box section area which no
longer blocks your view to the back of the cutting edge.

B
The D31EX has better forward visibility than the Deere 450J LT, a 7 foot advantage!
** Remember, when discussing visibility distance, that distance will differ due to the height of the operator. **
For example, when comparing a potential customer’s 450J to the D31 have them sit in both machines and use cones to
mark their visibility. In our testing we used a medium sized operator. A taller operator will have better visibility than our
testing results since their eye level will be higher in the cab. Make sure both machines have the seat adjusted to the same
position.

Customers spend a majority of their time looking forward as compared to the other three directions. Having superior
forward visibility makes it easier for the operator to adjust to changing ground conditions faster. Therefore they are
more productive.

This feature is very useful when going up to a sidewalk and backfilling. The operator can go up to an object quickly

need to wait until the rpms increase (no lag in response). The operator can use the decelerator for maneuvering around
tight spots etc.
