(VIDEO) DEVELON's first CTL is loaded with powerful features for performance on tough job sites

At CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023, DEVELON introduced a prototype of its first compact track loader. Since then, DEVELON has refined the design after receiving dealer and contractor feedback.

"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."

Ride control, track pattern options, and powerful engine provide consistent performance

The DTL35 compact track loader is equipped with a 115.3-hp engine, the D34, which is also used in the DEVELON DD100 dozer. The engine helps minimize downtime, reduce maintenance costs, and enables consistent performance and maneuverability on the job site and in tight spaces.

Two rubber track patterns are available, including 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 to be durable on challenging terrains like rock, gravel, or uneven ground. It also minimizes ground disturbance, making these tracks a good option for landscaping and turf management. 

Ride control reduces shocks and vibrations, enhancing bucket stability and minimizing spillage when the compact track loader moves through rough terrain while carrying full loads. The auto return to dig automatically returns the arms to the lowered position to help deliver a more consistent digging depth.

The standard two-speed travel feature allows the compact track loader to operate up to 9.2 mph for faster travel between job sites and 6.1 mph for machine stabilization during precise and controlled movements in tough conditions.

The reversible fan protects against dust and debris, keeping the compact track loader's engine cleaner and cooler.

DEVELON standard and optional cameras give CTL operators a clear view of their surroundings

The rear-view backup camera provides an additional view, allowing operators to 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 when operating the loader in tight work areas or busy job sites. The ultrasonic proximity sensors alert operators to nearby objects as they back up the machine.

Bucket and lifting features ensure safe, productive operation

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-levelling feature automatically adjusts the attachment to remain level as the arms are raised or lowered. This stability is crucial for ensuring safe operation.

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

Operator comfort prioritized on DEVELON's first CTL

The DTL35 compact track loader has a three-foot-wide interior, a polycarbonate swing-out door, electric over-hydraulic controls, and a roof panel with an unobstructed view of what's overhead. 

The machine has an adjustable air-suspension heated seat. Air-filled cushions adjust to the operator's weight and movement. The air-suspension system helps absorb shocks and vibrations, reducing the impact of bumps and rough terrain. The torsion suspension system also helps absorb shocks and vibrations over rough or uneven terrain.

Versatile attachment options available from DEVELON

Attachment changes are easy on the DTL35 compact track loader. It's equipped with a hydraulic quick coupler that allows fast and tool-free attachment changes, reducing the time required for manual attachments.

The DTL35 can utilize more than a dozen DEVELON attachments to help operators complete multiple tasks with one machine, including:

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

DEVELON machine warranty and support for the DTL35 CTL

The DTL35 is equipped with MY DEVELON fleet management, a new digital platform for managing construction equipment. This equipment diagnostic tool monitors the health, location, and productivity of DEVELON equipment from a mobile app and website.

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

DEVELON also offers extended warranty coverage with more than 70 different plan options to help buyers 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.

The DTL35 compact track loader is now available at North American dealers.
