Allied has successfully completed a 14-month field test program of the 50,000-lb. line pull W5C winch on the Komatsu D61 tractor. The W5C has proven to be a solid performer, offering the dealer and the customer outstanding performance at a significantly lower price.
Until recently, the Komatsu D61 tractor used the larger and more expensive W6F winch exclusively, a winch that may have been "overkill" in certain cases. After the field testing, Allied can now approve the W5C winch on the D61.
Dealers and users now have the choice of the price competitive W5C for D61 for most applications, with the 60,000-lb. line pull W6F available for extreme duty applications. Both the W5C and the W6F winches will be listed under D61 tractor in Allied's 2002 price sheet.
One other tractor model has a choice of winches. The John Deere 750C can take either the W5C or the W6F winch.
