Setting the DD100 dozer apart from other manufacturers in the under 140-hp size class is the machine’s power-to-weight ratio. This design was intentional; Develon planned to make a machine that can offer more power to the ground and superior tractive effort compared to its competitors. Productivity is driven by the dozer’s 6-way variable angle pitch blade. Customers can choose from two blade options: a standard 2.9 cubic yard blade or an optional 3.4 cubic yard capacity blade. The blade moves freely to lift, tilt and angle, and offers two-way mechanical adjustments to change the blade pitch to control how steeply the blade will dig into the ground. Operators can adjust the blade pitch from 54 to 58 degrees. Also available is a blade shake button for operators to quickly remove materials stuck to the blade.
