Develon brought out its largest dozer to this year’s World of Asphalt, and we got a walkaround tour of the DD130, which you can watch in the above video.
The DD130 is Develon's second model after revealing its first-ever dozer, the DD100, in 2021 before the company changed its name from Doosan Infracore.
The 157-horsepower, 15-metric-ton DD130 puts a heavy focus on operator visibility. It is designed with a precleaner inside the hood, the radiator and hydraulic oil cooler in the rear and a downward sloping narrow front, giving operators a clear view of the blade. The cab also has glass all around.
Standard features on the DD130 include an 8-inch color touchscreen display, rearview camera, front and rear LED lights, and four "premium wiper blades." The FOPS, ROPS cab tilts electronically for access to components. The dozer can be started even when the cab is tilted.
The seat is adjustable. Controls are electric over hydraulic, enabling such functions as blade shake with the touch of a button. A factory-installed 2D grade control system is optional. For added grading control, Develon added oscillation to the tracks, which reduces vibration on rough terrain, the company says.
The six-way variable-angle pitch blade on the DD130 is about 12 feet wide. Customers get a choice of a standard 4.6-cubic-yard blade or optional 5.5 cubic yards.
