I got to spend some time on a new Komatsu PC190LC Dash-8 excavator on the extensive demo plot which is situated within the factory grounds. I have always been a big fan of Komatsu excavators over the years, having operated many different models, but this was my first chance to try out a Dash-8 machine, I must say I was not disappointed, as I will report in my upcoming factory visit blog post.

In the meantime here is the excellent promotional video on the Dash-8 range.
