Older, looks somewhat like a Cat, in Cuba, who US does not do business with, I would say it has to be a Komatsu.
Looks like its still getting the job done though

That's why I thought it was Cat...and they did make hydraulics for a few years prior to Castro seizing power so it could have found its way over. But Komatsu's did look a bit like Cats back then.

They are probably stolen from the USA and smuggled down there in shipping containers!
