Develon announced its entry into the compact track loader market at this year's CONEXPO, according to a March 16 report from Equipment World. Doosan Infracore rebranded itself as Develon in February of this year.
"The DTL35 compact track loader is still in prototype stage, but is expected to hit the market in 2024 after more testing with the company’s dealers," the report said. "It will be the largest in a three-model lineup, at a rated operating capacity of 3,657 pounds. Two more CTL models are also planned after that in 2024. One will have a rated operating capacity of about 2,300 pounds, and the other will have a 2,600-pound ROC.
"The DTL35 will run on a 116-horsepower, 3.4-liter Develon engine, which is the same as on the company’s DD100 dozer and 14-ton excavator."
Other manufacturers have also been making moves in the compact track loader arena. Hyundai announced its return to the market in January and Kioti showed off its first CTL model at the National Farm Machinery Show.
