Reviewed by Wade A. on April 22, 2026

Overview

The Komatsu D87 (1996–2003) is a heavy crawler dozer designed for grading, site preparation, and general earthmoving tasks. It delivers a 23,998 kg operating weight, a 3 m blade width, and a modular countershaft-type power shift drive system, providing steady and practical pushing performance on demanding job sites.

Expert rating: 4 stars

Pros Strong operating weight and steady power shift performance for dependable production dozing.
Cons Older machine platform with less refinement than newer crawler dozers.

Performance & Efficiency

The 23,998 kg operating weight, 3 m blade, and modular countershaft-type power shift drive give the D87 steady pushing power for grading, clearing, and general site earthmoving, while the large fuel tank supports longer working hours.

In Comparison

Komatsu D85: Similar working class with wider blade coverage on some setups.
Komatsu D87: Better suited to buyers wanting heavier weight and a stronger day-to-day production feel.

Final Verdict
