I ran the 600-8 this past summer at Detour Gold Mine in northern Ontario. Truth be told, it was the first Komatsu I’ve run. Seemed to do the job quite well. The machine I ran had a 10 yard bucket on it. Moved a lot of rock in a twelve hour shift. Loading 60 haul trucks.
I drive an older version of this thing and really like it. It feels like you're operating a much smaller loader: everything is responsive and moves quite quick. you forget that you're in a rather large beast. its not laggy like a CAT 988. It's not quite as strong as the CAT though, but almost.

I do 3000 tons on a 992 in 8 hrs. I like that machine. You guys hiring ?
Sucks, always in the shop. CODE CA2387. Replaced torbo and bunch of other stuff. Still got code and still runs like shit.
Stick to CAT.
