Develon expands its range with the new DD100 bulldozer

Develon introduces the new DD100 bulldozer. A machine that ranks among the best in its class in terms of operating weight and power.

The DD100 is designed for use in residential construction, light commercial construction and roadworks, and is ideal for fine levelling work. Its standout feature is its high power-to-weight ratio. This provides greater ground pressure and improved traction compared to other machines in the under-140 hp power classes.

Productivity and technology

Productivity is enhanced by a six-way adjustable blade, allowing operators to lift, tilt and rotate the blade for precise levelling. Customers can choose between a standard blade with a capacity of 2.22 m³ or an optional blade with a capacity of 2.58 m³. The mechanical blade angle adjustment in two directions offers better control over the digging angle, whilst a blade shake function helps to quickly remove material build-up.

The DD100 is equipped with advanced technology to improve grading accuracy. An optional 2D levelling system simplifies precise grading, even for less experienced operators. For even greater accuracy, a 3D machine guidance and control option is available, developed in collaboration with Trimble / Leica / Topcon. This system utilises GPS technology and an additional monitor in the cab to deliver improved grading performance. Electro-hydraulic controls are standard, allowing operators to tailor the machine’s responsiveness to their preferences and level of experience.

Visibility and operator comfort

The DD100 offers one of the best fields of view in its class, thanks to the narrow design of the front engine compartment, which gives the operator a better view of the blade and the working area. Key improvements in visibility include a concealed engine pre-filter, a rear-mounted electronic cooling system, unobtrusive front cab pillars and fully glazed doors for an optimal view of the work area. A standard rear-view camera also enhances situational awareness and safety on site. HD Hyundai Infracore Europe s.r.o. | Identification No.084 67 820

Operator comfort was central to the design. The DD100 is equipped with an air-suspension seat and cab suspension for a smoother ride, combined with a powerful heating and cooling system to ensure comfort in all weather conditions. Defrost vents for the windscreen and doors improve visibility, whilst powerful LED lighting supports working in low-light conditions.

Fuel efficiency

Powered by a 3.4-litre D34 diesel engine, the DD100 complies with Stage V emission standards. An ECO mode can reduce fuel consumption by up to 5% in lighter operating conditions by reducing pump power. Additional features such as automatic idling and automatic engine shut-off further help to reduce fuel consumption during periods of inactivity.

Versatility and durability

The DD100 comes as standard with piping for an optional parallel-link ripper, which maintains a constant angle relative to the ground. This allows operators to break up hard materials prior to grading or to assist with erosion control work. Thanks to an optional tow bar, the bulldozer can also move equipment around the construction site.

The machine’s undercarriage is designed to improve durability and reduce total cost of ownership. A combination of single- and double-flanged rollers extends component life, whilst customers can choose between universal or full track guards, depending on working conditions, to maximise uptime.

Ease of maintenance

The DD100 has been designed with ease of maintenance and a long service life in mind. A compact inline pre-cleaner, integrated into the air filter, helps to extend the filter’s service life by effectively removing contaminants such as mud, snow and dust. Key undercarriage maintenance points are easily accessible, including a removable side panel for lubricating the tensioning system. A high-quality fuel-water separator and dual fuel filters improve fuel purity and reduce the risk of system failures, whilst a rear-mounted cooling system with a reversible fan enhances both reliability and visibility.
