    Komatsu dozers and hystat issues

    Do komatsus seem to have more hystat issues versus either brands? iv got a d5g and it a great little machine? the machine I’m looking at is a 39px said it I’m assuming is swapping fluid from a final to a hystat or something like that. is this a common issue? can it be fixed relatively easily...

This machine will make you dizzy it spins so quick you have to ease...
