The DTL35: Develon’s first CTL is now available

The Develon DTL35 carries a bucket full of dirt

Since the DTL35 first appeared at ConExpo as a protype machine, Develon has refined the design, incorporating input from its dealers and contractors.

Now, the company’s first compact track loader is available at Develon dealership across North America.

Equipped with one of the most powerful engines in its class, at 115.3 hp, the DTL35 helps operators gain traction and maneuverability on construction sites and in tight spaces.

“The new DTL35 is the first compact track loader from Devleon in North America and has several features and technologies for excellent performance, visibility and high-end comfort,” said 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.”

DTL35 performance

The DTL35 compact track loader is equipped with the 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.

The machine is available with two rubber track patterns, 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.

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

Vertical lift arm

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 or bins.

 To help maintain stability, a self-levelling feature automatically adjusts the attachment to remain level as the arms are raised or lowered.

As well, the bucket shake feature helps release material stuck to the attachment and facilitates efficient dumping without the need to stop and manually clean the machine.

Ride control

Ride control reduces shocks and vibrations, which enhances bucket stability and minimizes spillage when the compact track loader navigates rough terrain while carrying full loads.

Auto return to dig automatically returns the arms to the lowered position, saving operators time while delivering a more consistent digging depth.

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 14.8 km per hour) is ideal for travelling longer distances or quickly moving between job sites, while the lower speed (up to 9.8 km per hour) aids in 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 camera provides an additional view, allowing operators to easily see behind the machine.

 The DTL35 cab

The DTL35 compact track loader has a 90-cm-wide spacious interior, a large polycarbonate swing-out door, electric over hydraulic controls and a roof panel with an unobstructed view of what’s overhead.

The seat is adjustable, heated and equipped with air-suspension to ensure a comfortable working environment.

As well, air-filled cushions adjust to the operator’s weight and movement, providing a smooth and comfortable ride, especially over uneven terrain. The air-suspension system helps absorb shocks and vibrations, reducing the impact of bumps and rough terrain.

The DTL35’s torsion suspension system also helps absorb shocks and vibrations over rough or uneven terrain. This results in a smoother ride throughout the day compared to traditional fixed-frame machines.

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

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 job sites. The ultrasonic proximity sensors further enhance safety by alerting operators to nearby objects as they back up the machine.
