DL250-7 | Develon

The versatile, mid-sized DL250-7 is a do-it-all loader perfect for load-and-carry applications, bringing next-generation features from DEVELON's larger -7 Series models to enhance durability, performance and operator comfort.

A 5.9 L, 6-cylinder Develon DL06 produces 171.6 hp at 2,100 rpm and 593 lb·ft of torque at 1,400 rpm — strong, low-rpm power for filling buckets, loading trucks and pushing piles.

A full-automatic 4F/3R torque-converter powershift multiplies torque for strong rimpull and quick cycles, with an optional 5F/3R transmission featuring a torque-converter lock-up clutch for higher efficiency and road speeds to 24.9 mph.

Meets EPA Tier 4 Final emissions with HPCR fuel, cooled EGR and a DOC + SCR/DEF aftertreatment package — and no diesel particulate filter (DPF) to regenerate, on a 62.1-gal fuel tank with a 7.9-gal DEF tank.

The Z-bar loader linkage generates up to 23,987 lbf of breakout force with a 23,973 lb static tipping load (straight) and a 3.3 yd³ bucket — strong digging and lifting for heavier production work.

Heavy-duty outboard planetary axles with standard front/rear limited-slip differentials deliver traction and durability; an optional hydraulic-locking front differential adds grip in slippery, demanding conditions.

A high-performance Z-bar lift arm maximizes breakout force and dump clearance; an optional high-lift (US20/US21) arm raises the hinge pin to 14' 1.3" and dump height to 10' 7.7" for loading taller trucks and hoppers.

Standard ride control cushions the loader arms over rough terrain, reducing material spillage and operator fatigue while allowing faster load-and-carry travel.

In-cab adjustable automatic boom/lift kick-out and bucket return-to-dig repeat your set heights and bucket angle automatically, speeding up repetitive loading cycles.

A variable-displacement axial-piston pump (40.9 gpm) feeds a closed-center, pilot-operated system at 3,844 psi — responsive, efficient power for fast boom and bucket cycle times.

A standard 3rd-valve auxiliary circuit and boom float expand attachment versatility — run grapples, snow blowers, brooms and more beyond the standard bucket.

A new, comfortable cab brings -7 Series operator comfort to the mid-size class, with a sound-suppressed ROPS/FOPS structure (70 dB(A) inside), an air-suspension seat (heated optional) and fully automatic HVAC.

A height- and angle-adjustable 8-inch DEVELON Smart Touch screen centralizes machine settings, a smart guidance system, fuel-consumption data and diagnostics in one easy-to-read interface.

A multi-camera Transparent Bucket system shows a see-through view of the ground past the bucket on the in-cab display — improving safety and precision when loading and maneuvering.

A standard rearview camera improves visibility; an optional around-view monitor (AVM) stitches a 360° bird's-eye view for confident operation in tight or busy jobsites.

MY DEVELON telematics is preinstalled for greater control over machine maintenance and operator productivity — tracking location, hours, fuel use and machine health remotely. An optional smart scale weighs loads on the go.

Power, Standard and Economy (P/S/E) modes plus manual and automatic (auto 1–4 / auto 2–4) transmission modes let operators tune output and shifting for productivity or fuel economy.

Strong durability comes from a rugged box frame and large, self-centering, double-tapered roller bearings — built to absorb high loads and deliver long machine life in tough applications.

Radiator fin spacing is 40% wider than the previous generation to enhance cooling-system performance and resist plugging — important for sustained productivity in hot, dirty conditions.

A standard reversible cooling fan responds to engine-compartment temperatures, purging the cooling cores of dust and debris automatically and running only as needed to save fuel.

Standard centralized lubrication, handrails, skid-resistant steps and platforms, remote drains and a laptop service port make daily checks and maintenance quick and safe.

Sealed, self-adjusting outboard wet brakes with spring-applied hydraulic release deliver fade-free stopping and long service life in demanding duty cycles.
