After several years of research and development, Develon previewed its first compact track loader, the DTL35, in Las Vegas at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023. The machine was met with much excitement and anticipation from the tradeshow attendees. The company produced pilot machines for product testing in the field and customer feedback. Following final design modifications and additional field testing, the new DTL35 compact track loader made its debut in the summer of 2024 and is now available at Develon dealerships in the United States and Canada.
Initial feedback from customers who have operated the new DTL35 compact track loader has been positive. The vertical-lift-path DTL35 compact track loader offers top-of-the-line 115.3 gross hp and exceptional performance, helping operators gain traction and maneuverability on construction sites and in tight spaces. The machine has a large lifting capacity and a high dump reach to help operators get more done.
The DTL35 compact track loader is equipped with a reliable D34 engine, which is also used in the Develon DD100 dozer. The engine helps minimize downtime, reduce maintenance costs and ensure consistent performance in demanding work conditions. 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. This design increases stability and reduces vibration and the risk of slippage.
Cool Tech from Ride Control to Reversible Fans
Ride control reduces shocks and vibrations, which enhances stability for the bucket and minimizes spillage when the compact track loader navigates rough terrain while carrying full loads. The auto return to dig automatically returns the arms to the lowered position, saving operators time while delivering a more consistent digging depth. The standard two-speed travel feature allows the compact track loader to operate at the best speed for the job. The higher speed (up to 9.2 mph) is for traveling longer distances or quickly moving between jobsites, and the lower speed (up to 6.1 mph) is for stabilizing the machine during more precise and controlled movements in challenging conditions.
The reversible fan protects against dust and debris, keeping the compact track loader’s engine cleaner and cooler to help extend the life of the machine. The rearview (backup) camera provides an additional view, allowing operators to easily see behind the machine. An optional around view monitor (AVM) camera system with ultrasonic proximity sensors displays a 270-degree view of the machine’s surroundings for greater confidence when operating the loader in tight work areas or busy jobsites. The ultrasonic proximity sensors further enhance safety by alerting operators to nearby objects as they back up the machine.
Compact Track Loader Advice to Buyers
“When evaluating today’s compact track loaders, customers should inquire about safety features available for the machines,” says Jacob Sherman, Develon product manager. “For example, does a rearview camera come standard? Is an around view monitor (AVM) camera system available as an option? How is the visibility to the front and sides of the machine from inside the cab? Since compact track loaders are often used in narrow and confined areas, it’s critical for operators to have good visibility to their surroundings.”
