Robert in NY Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Ok, can someone answer this question for me? Why are some of the older Komatsu mini excavators painted a blue/green/purple/gray type of scheme while the new ones are painted yellow like the rest of the Komatsu line?

Robert in NY Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 I had never thought of that but I don't think that is the case as there are way too many of them out there these colors. I also thought it was possibly a location thing as far as the models for Japan being painted different colors then models for Europe or North America but I see all three colors listed for sale everywhere.

Tellarian Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I think some for Japan Korea - have some promo models in those colours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi6920 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I think they wanted to make there middle age minis (1990-2004ish) a diffrent colur form the biggins and the old minis, could have also be a Japan goverment rule as i know you can get Hitachi zero tail swingers in the same colur as the digger in your middle pic, i know that all komatsu minis are yellow and black now, I think these colours went up to 6 ton on the minis and there are some ruber ducks ( wheeled) diggers in the purple that are in the 12 ton class....
