High Productivity and Low Fuel Consumption
A powerful Komatsu S4D106-2XFH/2SFA
Turbocharged water-cooled diesel
engine provides output of 65.1 kW 87 HP
for the WB140-2N/WB140PS-2N, and
output of 70.1 kW 94 HP for
the WB150-2N/ WB150PS2N/ WB150AWS-2N. This
engine is EPA Tier 2, EU
and Japan emissions
certified without sacrificing
power or machine
productivity. The large piston
displacement of these
engines, 4.4 ltr 269 in
ensures high torque and
power, and above all exceptional
reliability.

Tremendous Hydraulic Power
Under Your Complet e Control
With Proven HydrauMind
Excavator Technology
Komatsu’s exclusive HydrauMind
hydraulic system is the ultimate
combination of power and precision
creating one of the most productive
backhoe loaders in the world. The
system consists of a single variable
flow axial piston pump and an
Cooling SystemAir Filter
Large Capacity Side-by-Side
Radiator
"intelligent" hydraulic circuit that allows
the machine to adapt instantaneously
to the specific operation being carried
out. Superior lift capacities and
breakout forces are achieved with
HydrauMind.
Clo sed-Center Load Sens ing
Sys tem (CLSS)
The Closed-Center Load Sensing
System, together with the variable flow
pump, means that only the amount of
oil necessary for ensuring high
operating pressure is generated and
used. This guarantees greater
efficiency, lower fuel consumption and
quiet operation.
Lo ad Independent Flow Divider
(LIFD)
Another Komatsu innovation is the
Load Independent Flow Divider
hydraulic valve block. The speed of
each movement is completely
independent from that of the others,
and the proportions between the various
movements remain constant even
when the load resistance varies,
resulting in shorter cycle times and
greater productivity. Engine power is
transmitted hydraulically to a transfer
case, then manually out to the
differentials and out to the four driving
wheels.

The new Komatsu steering system ensures excellent maneuverability and
versatility and allows theoperator to choose from the following three
different steering modes by the push of a button: Two Wheel Steering, Four
Wheel Coordinated Steering, Crab Steering
Turning radius (4 wheel coordinated steering mode, w/o individual braking):
The Hydraumind hydraulic system affords the operator very precise backhoe
movements. This system is energy efficient and incorporates two different
workingmodes: economy and constant power. Theadvanced hydraulic system
includes the “speed up” function to increase the working speed of the front
loader.

The design of thefront loader allows for better tensilestrengthdistributionand
parallel movements when lifting and lowering the bucket. Due to the linkage
geometry, thegreasing points have been dramatically reduced.
