Develon DX300LL-7 Log Loader

Purpose-Built for Forestry Applications

The Develon DX300LL-7 log loader is engineered to deliver the strength, precision, and durability required for demanding forestry operations. Increased lifting capacity allows operators to handle heavier logs with confidence, while the fine swing function minimizes unwanted machine movement for smoother, more accurate load placement. A fully guarded upper structure and heavy-duty undercarriage are built specifically for harsh logging environments, featuring reinforced front guarding, heavy-duty track links with double grouser shoes, and full-length track guiding guards for maximum durability. A standard reverse fan automatically clears debris from the radiator, helping maintain cooling efficiency and maximize engine uptime.

Built for Safety and Easy Transport

The DX300LL-7 is designed to protect both the machine and the operator in challenging forestry conditions. Reinforced mainframe construction, full undercarriage guarding, integral catwalks, heavy-duty side doors, and protective guards over the hydraulic pump and cooling system provide outstanding durability. The elevated 4-foot cab riser includes reinforced guarding and a 90-degree hydraulic tilt function to simplify transportation. Operators can also choose an optional side-entry forestry cab certified to Oregon OSHA and British Columbia WCB standards, featuring guarded polycarbonate windows with an available 32 mm front window upgrade for enhanced protection. Standard LED work lights improve visibility during early morning, evening, and low-light operation.

Operator Comfort Throughout the Workday

The spacious operator station is designed to keep operators comfortable and productive during long hours in the field. A larger cab entry, increased foot room, automatic climate control, and adjustable airflow create a comfortable working environment in all weather conditions. The standard heated and cooled air-suspension seat offers multiple adjustments for height, weight, recline, armrests, and headrest support to reduce fatigue. Intuitive controls, along with an integrated radio and Bluetooth® audio, provide added convenience throughout the workday.

Efficient Power and Fuel Savings

The DX300LL-7 combines a high-pressure common rail diesel engine with the Electronic Power Optimizing System (EPOS) to deliver responsive hydraulic performance while maximizing fuel efficiency. Four selectable work modes, auto idle, onboard diagnostics, and precise hydraulic control allow operators to tailor machine performance to changing jobsite demands. A convenient one-touch power boost button provides additional hydraulic lifting force whenever extra power is required. Standard auto shutdown further reduces fuel consumption by automatically shutting off the engine after a preset idle period.

Advanced Controls and Machine Monitoring

An 8-inch color LCD display gives operators convenient access to machine diagnostics, maintenance information, operating data, and hydraulic settings. The multifunction display also integrates live views from the standard rearview and side-mounted cameras, while a hybrid display mode allows machine information and camera feeds to be viewed simultaneously for improved operator awareness and productivity.

Simplified Maintenance for Maximum Uptime

Routine maintenance is quick and convenient thanks to extended service intervals, centralized grease points, accessible cooling system service doors, and extended-life boom pivot bushings. A high-capacity engine air precleaner removes more than 99 percent of airborne contaminants, extending air filter life and improving engine reliability. The standard reverse cooling fan automatically helps keep the radiator clean by reducing debris buildup, further improving machine uptime. MY DEVELON fleet management comes standard, allowing owners to remotely monitor machine health, maintenance schedules, and operating performance to reduce overall ownership costs.

Efficient Tier 4 Performance

The DX300LL-7 meets Tier 4 emissions standards using a high-pressure common rail fuel system combined with cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), mass airflow sensing, a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), selective catalytic reduction (SCR), diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), and other advanced emissions technologies. This system delivers reliable power, excellent fuel efficiency, and environmentally compliant performance for demanding forestry applications.

Outstanding Visibility for Safer Operation

Excellent visibility is essential when handling heavy timber, and the DX300LL-7 is designed to provide clear sightlines around the machine. Narrow cab pillars minimize visual obstructions, while standard rearview and side-mounted cameras give operators a comprehensive view of the surrounding work area. The elevated cab position further improves visibility, helping increase productivity while enhancing jobsite safety.
