901TX.1
The Komatsu 901TX.1 is the new version of our market-leading thinning
harvester. With new technologies and our inherent design advantages, Komatsu
now provides an unmatched combination of production, low environmental impact
and economical operation in a thinning harvester. Here are a few of the essential new
features and benefts:
Economic operation
High reliability, simplifed
maintenance and low fuel
consumption provide a very
manageable cost of ownership.
Handling
Komatsu Comfort Bogies deliver a
smooth ride while providing superb
mobility and maneuverability.
New engine
New powerful engine that minimizes
NOx emissions (nitrogen oxides) and
provides exceptional fuel economy.
Ground clearance
High ground clearance, 635 mm
(25) enhances mobility while
reducing the machines impact in
the forest.
Operator environment
Generously sized cab, large win-
dows and the ideal relation of the
side-mounted crane creates a high
performance work environment.
Hydraulics
ORFS couplings on critical hydraulic
components create tight seals which
minimize the potential for leaks
reducing down time and protecting
the environment.
MAXIMUM
PERFORMANCE AND
FUEL EFFICIENT.

ideal reach and
handling charac-
teristics.
Information system
The MaxiXplorer information
system offers the markets most
comprehensive machine control,
as well as status and production
reports.
Handling

and maneuverability.
How do you improve a thinning machine
that is already considered the most ef-
fcient and environmentally friendly in the
world? The answer is the new Komatsu
901TX.1, which delivers additional green
and economic benefts. The explanation
is the completely new SCR-based engine,
which dramatically reduces both emis-
sions and fuel consumption.
And it doesnt end with emissions well
below legal requirements and world-
leading fuel economy! With our E3-Power
technology, operating costs are further re-
duced thanks to a number of factors from
control systems that ensure operation
through long service intervals to cleaner
engine oil. A new feature improving ser-
viceability is that all critical hydraulics use
ORFS couplings, which reduce the risk
of leaks. Another important part of this

Cab and crane
leveling and

for optimum reach
and stability. Crane
placement close to
the cab ensures that
the head is always
directly in front of
you. Extremely pro-
ductive for thinning.

thanks in part
to the full-circle
slewing platform.
machines cost effciency comprises the
detailed status and production reports
from the powerful MaxiXplorer computer
system.
The proven characteristics of the
901TX.1 include the optimal combination
of high productivity and low environmen-
tal impact. A considerable factor in this is
the crane, which is one of the strongest
on the market and provides an advantage
when working at long reaches. Add to this
the low total weight, high ground clear-
ance, and fantastic maneuverability, and
you soon realize that no other thinning
harvester gets as much done with so little
impact on the forest foor and surround-
ing forest.
Similarly, the 901TX.1 combines human
effciency and ergonomics. The cab is an
extremely high performance operating
environment with generous proportions
and large surround windows. The relation
of the side-mounted crane to the full-circle
slewing and leveling cab also maximizes
operator visibility. Choose the Komatsu
901TX.1, with either 6 or 4 wheels, for
optimal thinning proftability. The kind of
proftability modern forestry demands.

WHY CHOOSE A KOMATSU HARVESTER?
High productivity, low operating costs, innovative technology, superb operator environment these are
just some of the features that make Komatsu forestry machines some of the best in the world. Behind all
this is a highly-focused strategy to continually build upon the advantages of owning a Komatsu harvester.
A strategy based on the following principal ideas.
Ergonomics
Your forestry equipment and its mobile work environment
is critical to an operators ability to maximize production
without fatigue and is a key factor for success. This is an
important reference point used in developing the unique
egronomic designs of Komatsu harvesters. Automatic
leveling cabs, side mounted booms and large operator
compartments work together to keep the harvesting head
centered in the operators feld of vision.
Economy
The ambition to maximize proftability is one of the most
important forces driving the development of Komatsu
harvesters. Each small improvement that increases
productivity and reliability, reduces costs, or saves time
is of interest. Tangible and quantifable examples from
todays Komatsu harvesters include energy-effcient
engines, highly effcient hydraulics, fast heads, and
unsurpassed productivity.
Productivity
More work in less time a comment we often hear
from contractors who switch from competing brands to
Komatsu. There are many reasons, large and small. The
most important include extremely high-performance
operator environments, great maneuverability, effective
heads, powerful control and information systems, and
large work areas from stationary positions.
Customer Support
Fast and competent service bears directly on forestry
machine performance and economy. An extensive service
network provides the Komatsu owner with a sense of
security. Well-trained technicians provide additional
assurance, as they are Komatsu experts. Another
beneft is ProSelect, our special line of accessories
and consumables. The range is based on a selection of
items that are all of the highest quality and designed for
both Komatsu and other brands of professional forest
machinery.
Environment
Forests are an essential and fragile element of the global
ecology. Consequently, every new Komatsu product, and
all its component parts, is considered from both short-
term and long-term environmental perspectives. This
has resulted in real environmental improvements such as
highly-effective exhaust emission control and low, evenly-
distributed ground pressure in Komatsu harvesters.
Environmental considerations also permeate our broad
range of accessories and consumables, such as in our
special, rapidly biodegradable oils.
Global Experience
Komatsu harvesters are found the world over.
Consequently, they are designed to deliver optimum
proftability regardless of conditions. The same
fundamental concept is applied to our global service and
dealer network which supports thousands of Komatsu
owners everyday.
