GD655-6

With the longest wheel base in its class, the new GD655-6 offers exceptional fine grading performance.  Even with a long wheelbase, the GD655-6 maintains a tight minimum turning radius, thanks to a maximum articulation angle of 25 degrees.  This grader is extremely maneuverable and productive in tight road work or cul-de-sac applications.

Thanks to the new, Komatsu designed, Tier 4 Final power plant, GD655-6 owners should see a drop in fuel consumption of up to 5% when operating in “power” mode, and up to 15% in “economy” mode, compared to the GD655-5.

Komatsu’s Dual-mode transmission sets this grader apart from its competition.  The Dual-mode transmission has been specifically designed for use in Komatsu motor graders. It allows operators to benefit from the low-fuel consumption and high ground speeds of a direct-drive transmission, as well as the high tractive effort, superior control at low speed, and anti-stall features of a torque converter transmission.

GD655-6 Walkaround

Features

Dual-mode Transmission

The dual-mode transmission is built specifically for Komatsu motor graders. The transmission provides full power shifting as well as inching capabilities and automatic shifting in the higher ranges.

Higher Productivity & Lower Fuel Consumption

A new variable displacement piston pump, improvements in the transmission and driveline components, and a sophisticated electronic control system for the engine and transmission all combine to achieve optimum and efficient operation. The new GD655-6 will consume up to 15% less fuel than the GD655-5.

Fuel consumption
up to 5% reduction (P mode)
up to 15% reduction (E mode)

(Compared with GD655-5)

Long Wheel base & Short Turning Radius

Longest wheelbase in class for exceptional fine grading performance. A 25 degree articulation angle allows the GD655-6 to maintain a tight turning radius of 24'3" making this grader very maneuverable for tight road work and cul-de-sac operation.

Tier 4 Final Engine

The Komatsu SAA6D107E-3 engine is EPA Tier 4 Final emissions certified and provides exceptional performance while reducing fuel consumption. Based on Komatsu proprietary technologies developed over many years, this new diesel engine reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx) compared to the previous model.

Excellent Visibility

Excellent visibility from the hexangular cab and layout of the rear side pillars boost operator confidence and productivity in all grader applications. Well-positioned blade linkage provides an unobstructed view of the moldboard and front tires.
