This Komatsu WA270-8 is a wheeled loader — sometimes referred to as a wheel loader or front-end loader — a versatile material-handling machine used across construction, quarrying, landscaping, and bulk-material industries for loading, transporting, and stockpiling aggregates, soil, and similar materials. Komatsu is a well-established Japanese manufacturer with a long global presence in heavy construction and mining equipment, known for producing durable, technologically capable machines that serve contractors, infrastructure projects, and resource industries worldwide.
This 2022 machine is offered in used condition from Louisiana, USA, priced at $203,000, and carries a strong specification package drawn from its seller documentation. Power comes from a Komatsu SAA6D107E-3 diesel engine (serial number ) producing 191 horsepower and certified to Tier 4 Final emissions standards, meaning it meets the most stringent EPA emissions requirements currently in force for off-road equipment in the United States. The machine is also equipped with a DPL monitoring system, which supports ongoing diagnostics and performance tracking.
The loader is fitted with a 3-yard bucket with BOCE (bolt-on cutting edge), a practical configuration that allows the cutting edge to be replaced independently as it wears rather than requiring replacement of the entire blade assembly — a common cost-saving feature on production machines. A quick coupler is installed, enabling faster and easier attachment changes without manual pinning. Third-valve hydraulics are also included, providing an additional hydraulic circuit to power a wider range of compatible work tools.
Operator comfort and safety are well addressed. The cab is equipped with both air conditioning and heat, and a backup camera is fitted to improve rear visibility during reversing maneuvers. Ride control is specified, a hydraulic accumulator-based system that smoothes out the bucket during travel and reduces material spillage, improving cycle times and operator comfort over rough ground.
The machine runs on 20.5R25 radial rubber tires, a standard size for loaders in this class, suitable for mixed-surface work across job sites.
