Description

DX225RB-7 Road Builder | Develon

Purpose-Built for Forestry Applications

The Develon DX225RB-7 road builder is engineered specifically for demanding forestry and pioneering applications, combining the proven performance of Develon excavators with specialized forestry features. Increased swing torque and improved lifting capacity allow operators to efficiently remove trees, brush, and stumps, even in challenging terrain. A fine swing function minimizes unwanted machine movement when handling heavy loads for greater precision and safer operation, while a one-touch power boost on the right-hand joystick delivers additional hydraulic lifting power whenever it's needed. A fully guarded upper structure and high-walker undercarriage, complete with heavy-duty track links, double grouser shoes, and full-length track guards, provide the durability required for continuous forestry work.

Cab Options for Protection and Visibility

The DX225RB-7 is available with either a standard-height ROPS cab or an optional forestry cab designed to enhance operator protection and visibility. The standard road builder cab provides an excellent vantage point for pioneering and land clearing tasks, while the optional side-entry forestry cab features an available 32 mm guarded polycarbonate front window along with polycarbonate side and rear windows for increased protection in harsh forestry environments.

Operator Comfort for Long Workdays

The intelligently designed operator station provides a spacious, comfortable environment to help reduce fatigue throughout long workdays. Increased foot room, improved visibility, automotive-style heating and air conditioning with adjustable airflow, and a standard heated air-suspension seat allow operators to remain comfortable and productive while working in demanding conditions.

Enhanced Visibility for Safer Operation

Outstanding visibility helps improve both productivity and jobsite safety. The DX225RB-7 features narrow cab pillars for improved sightlines, standard LED front and rear work lights for greater visibility in low-light conditions, and standard rearview and side-view cameras that provide a better view around the machine. An optional Around View Monitor (AVM) camera system further enhances operator awareness with a comprehensive view of the surrounding work area, while a rotating beacon increases machine visibility on active jobsites.

Intelligent Power and Machine Control

The DX225RB-7 utilizes an advanced Mechatronics system that offers four selectable work modes, automatic idle, onboard diagnostics, and simplified machine management. Standard auto shutdown reduces unnecessary fuel consumption by automatically turning off the engine after a preset idle period. A multifunction color LCD display provides machine status, maintenance information, fuel consumption data, attachment presets, and live camera views for improved machine management and operator convenience.

Built for Maximum Uptime

Extended service intervals and simplified maintenance help maximize machine availability while lowering operating costs. Centralized grease points, permanently sealed track pin links, a reversible cooling fan, wide side access doors, extended-life boom pivot bushings, and a high-capacity engine air precleaner that removes more than 99 percent of airborne particles all contribute to improved reliability and reduced maintenance requirements. MY DEVELON fleet management further helps operators monitor machine health, maintenance schedules, and overall equipment performance.

Attachment Versatility

Designed for a wide range of forestry and land-clearing applications, the DX225RB-7 is equipped with standard coupler piping for quick attachment integration. Compatible DEVELON couplers allow operators to easily switch between buckets, thumbs, and other work tools for efficiently clearing felled trees, removing stumps, rough grading terrain, improving drainage, and completing a variety of pioneering tasks.

Efficient Tier 4 Performance

The DX225RB-7 meets current Tier 4 emissions standards using a high-pressure common-rail fuel system combined with cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). This advanced emissions system delivers reliable power, excellent fuel efficiency, and reduced environmental impact while meeting today's stringent emissions requirements.
