Hyundai has entered the crawler dozer market with its first model, the 115-horsepower HD100.
The HD100 is a 10-ton-class machine with a standard blade capacity of 2.9 cubic yards and a digging depth of 1 foot 6 inches. The 4-cylinder Hyundai G2 DM03 engine meets Tier 4-F emissions standards. Standard operating weight is 23,589 pounds, and track length on the ground is 108 inches.
Should you buy a small dozer or a big CTL?
A hydrostatic transmission provides smooth control of speed and torque while enhancing ease of operation, the company says. The machine’s undercarriage system includes dual-flange rollers outside the chain of the track and single-flange rollers inside the chain of the track to help ensure the track stays on the undercarriage to reduce wear and provide greater operator comfort.
A 6-way angle blade is standard. Positioning the electronic cooling system at the back of the machine results in an unobstructed view of the blade. Further adding to the visibility to the working end of the dozer are the narrow front hood, placement of the inline pre-cleaner under the hood, minimized cab pillars, and maximized glass areas including all-glass doors. A rearview camera, high-illumination LED lights and four premium wiper blades are all standard.
The standard 6-way variable-angle-pitch dozer blade has a maximum angle of 25 degrees, and a blade float function aids in fine finishing or smooth back grading. The machine is compatible with grading technologies. The 2D Smart Blade assist function, which comes standard, makes precision grading easier. The HD100 can also be ordered Trimble-ready from the factory. This optional 3D machine guidance and 3D machine control system activates automatic blade movements based on GPS coordinates.
An LGP (low ground pressure) option is available when ordering the dozer with a wider 10-foot 7-inch blade versus the standard 8-foot 11-inch blade, along with track shoes that are 4 inches wider than the standard shoes. Other available options include a parallel ripper or towing draw bar.
