I am comparing it with the JCB (as I have worked with both). The first thing that catches my eye is that the Komatsu is noticeably slower and weaker. Furthermore, if you are doing the maintenance yourself instead of sending it to a service center (as everyone has different financial possibilities), it is safe to say that it is not the most convenient when it comes to the gearbox and engine, which consequently makes oil changes difficult and nerve-wracking. Considering all aspects, including the comfort inside the cabin, it is clear that they have cut corners in many areas. My conclusion is that you can still work with it, but if you have a choice, I would prefer the JCB.

When working, we encountered a problem with the jaws of the bucket, but it was resolved by replacing the hoses with connectors on the sections. Overall, the WB is a reliable machine. The downside is that the spare parts are expensive, but things don't break down that often.

I can't say anything good or bad about the Komatsu WA600 loader. We bought a machine from 1993 because we decided not to overpay for a new one. It's not as maneuverable as we would have liked, and it becomes a problem when working in a limited space. The traction is normal, but sometimes it gets stuck (in clay). We had some minor problems with the levers and hydraulics. They were resolved quickly, but they cost a significant amount. The cabin is nothing special. In videos on the internet, this machine looks decent in operation, but in reality, it's just an average one. It may be better than the Chinese ones, but it doesn't stand out among other machines in terms of extraordinary features or super reliability like the Japanese ones.

These machines are fire. I have been working on a Komatsu for a couple of weeks now. Before that, I had an old Cat. Komatsu is very good (the most optimal option both in terms of quality and repair). In terms of economy, productivity, and convenience, it is a very advantageous machine, plus it is comfortable. I was working on loading gravel. The bucket is spacious enough, and there is amortization. I think Komatsu will serve us for many years, despite the fact that the more complex the machine, the less reliable it is. In these quiet Japanese exams, as I can see, everything is really thought out to the smallest detail, there is nothing to complain about. I am quite satisfied with my work on it so far.

So here's my question, why would you buy a machine that has spare parts that cost as much as a piece of a spaceship? And these loaders break down just like any other praised machinery. Maybe in the manufacturer's country there are different operating conditions, I don't know, but we've had nothing but problems with them on our construction sites. First, there was an issue with the fuel pump, then some malfunctions with the transformer lock. In short, it's a headache and it comes at a hefty price. So think twice before getting yourself an expensive piece of equipment like this, consider if it will really pay off for you in the end.

A decent workhorse for its price. Not picky about fuel, reliable maintainable axles, high strength resource, better assembly quality compared to analogs and even cheaper than JCB and CAT machines. Bought it used in Poland. There were minor repairs on the engine and fuel system during its entire operation, which I consider a very good quality indicator considering the age of the loader. In terms of characteristics, Komatsu is faster and simpler than many other excavators and stronger. There is really nothing to improve in it, minimum weak points, the main thing is to use original oil and good fuel, otherwise there will be problems. Those who do not understand this will have to spend money and tell everyone that they bought a bad piece of machinery.
