Russell Lands Inc. sees time, cost savings with the adoption of IMC dozers on its new housing development

Russell Lands Inc. is redeveloping a portion of its lakefront property into a luxury residential community that includes restaurants and a golf course. As part of the development process, a 15-person crew recently began work on phase three of The Heritage community.

Staying on or ahead of schedule is crucial, and one of the driving forces behind Russell Lands’ accelerated progress has been the adoption of cutting-edge equipment such as Komatsu’s D61PXi-24 and D51PXi-24 Intelligent Machine Control (IMC) dozers.

Operator/Manager Scott Peterson stated, “They’ve transformed our operations. You’ve got what you need at your fingertips inside the cab, eliminating guesswork and showing you precisely what needs to be done.”

Efficient operation

As the crew embarked on the third phase of The Heritage, the dozers have proven instrumental in reducing project timelines.

“The D61i is the only tractor I’ve ever been on that doesn’t need advertising,” said operator Erick Taunton. “It will convince you of its worth. See how it can save you time and help you not waste material.”

Taunton added, “It’s balanced, efficient and unbelievably quick. I’ve been using a competitive brand all my life, but Komatsu’s IMC machines have changed my allegiance.”
