Develon introduces compact track loader

A year after introducing a prototype of its first compact track loader, Develon has refined the design and introduced the DTL35 to dealers across North America.  

Featuring a 115.3-hp D34 engine, also used in the Develon DD100 dozer, the DTL35 helps operators gain traction and maneuverability in tight spaces and on varying terrain. 

“The new DTL35 is the first compact track loader from Develon in North America and has several features and technologies for excellent performance, visibility, and high-end comfort,” says Dylan Freeman, product manager for compact track loaders at Develon. “We’re excited to continue to expand our compact equipment line, giving our customers more machines to help with their work demands.”

Productivity and durability

Two rubber track patterns are available and both include a wide and narrow version. A wide multi-bar track comes standard, while a block pattern is optional. The wide multi-bar tracks offer increased contact with surfaces for better traction. 

The optional block pattern is designed for more durability on challenging terrains like rock, gravel, or uneven ground. It also minimizes ground disturbance, making these tracks an option for landscaping and turf management. 

Ride control reduces shock and vibrations, which enhances stability for the bucket and minimizes spillage. The “auto return to dig” automatically returns the arms to a lowered position.

The standard 2-speed travel feature allows the compact track loader to operate at the right speed for the job: the higher speed (up to 9.2 mph) for traveling longer distances or quickly moving between job sites, and the lower speed (up to 6.1 mph) for stabilizing the machine during more precise and controlled movements.

The reversible fan protects against dust and debris, keeping the compact track loader’s engine cleaner and cooler to extend the life of the machine. The rearview camera provides an additional view.

An optional around view monitor (AVM) camera system, with ultrasonic proximity sensors, displays a 270° view of the machine’s surroundings when operating the loader in tight work areas or busy job sites. The sensors enhance safety by alerting operators to nearby objects as they back up the machine.

Extended reach

The vertical lift arm configuration allows the DTL35 compact track loader to extend its reach forward, making it easier to deposit materials into high-sided trucks, bins or agriculture mixers. To help maintain the loader’s stability, a self-leveling feature automatically adjusts the attachment to remain level as the arms are raised or lowered. 

The bucket shake feature helps shake loose or release materials stuck to the attachment and facilitates quick and efficient dumping without the need to stop and manually clean the machine. 

Operator comfort

The DTL35 compact track loader has a 3-foot-wide interior, a large polycarbonate swing-out door, and a roof panel with an unobstructed view of what’s overhead.

The adjustable air-suspension heated seat offers extra comfort compared with traditional seats. Air-filled cushions adjust to an operator’s weight and movement. The air-suspension system helps absorb shocks and vibrations.

The torsion suspension system also helps absorb shocks and vibrations over rough or uneven terrain — which makes for a smoother ride.

Attachment versatility

The DTL35 is equipped with a hydraulic quick coupler that allows fast and tool-free attachment changes, reducing the time required for manual attachments.

The DTL35 has more than a dozen Develon attachments to help operators complete multiple tasks with one machine.

• Angle broom
• Auger
• Power rake
• Hi-visibility rail pallet fork
• Scrap grapple
• Skeleton grapple
• Large-capacity root grapple
• Low-profile dirt bucket
• Utility bucket
• Multi-purpose bucket
• Rotary brush cutters
• Snow blower
• Snow/light-material bucket
• Snow pusher

Support and warranty

The DTL35 is equipped with “My Develon” fleet management, a new digital platform for managing construction equipment, and comes standard. This equipment diagnostic tool monitors the health, location, and productivity of Develon equipment from a user-friendly mobile app and website.

The DTL35 is backed by a standard warranty which includes full coverage for 36 months or 5,000 hours, whichever comes first, with parts and service support from a local authorized dealer. 

Develon also offers a Protection Plus extended warranty coverage with more than 70 different plan options to help operators customize coverage to meet their needs. This coverage protects from deficiencies in materials or workmanship for up to 60 months or 7,500 hours, whichever comes first.
