Customers can choose between the XL or the low ground pressure (LGP) configuration. The LGP model is ideal for minimizing ground disturbance and soil compaction.

DEVELON displayed its DD130 LGP dozer during World of Asphalt 2025.

The DD130 dozer provides power and traction for exceptional productivity, according to the manufacturer.

"Operators benefit from unmatched visibility to the front of the machine and the blade, thanks to the machine's design — particularly the in-line precleaner, which is integrated into the front engine compartment," added the company. "Built-in technologies simplify operation, making the machine an ideal choice for inexperienced operators."

"We added the DD130 to our dozer lineup in 2023 and the machine has proven popular among customers in road construction," said Jacob Sherman, dozer product manager of DEVELON. "Customers can choose between the XL or the low ground pressure (LGP) configuration, depending on their needs. The LGP model is ideal for minimizing ground disturbance and soil compaction."

A standard 2D grading system makes precision grading easier. The operator programs the needed inputs, and the machine controls blade functions. For more complicated projects, DEVELON offers a 3D machine guidance and machine control option in partnership with a third party. A GPS monitor is added when the dozer is equipped with the optional 3D machine guidance system that activates automatic blade movements based on GPS coordinates, according to DEVELON.

Standard features for the DD130 dozer include:

• Blade float;

• Blade shake;

• ECO mode (selectable engine control);

• MY DEVELON fleet management (telematics);

• Rearview camera;

• Ripper circuit; and

• Smart Touch display.

The DD130 delivers 146.1 net hp for exceptional pushing performance. Standard ECO mode reduces daily fuel consumption by up to 5 percent without sacrificing grading performance. This feature lowers the pump power output in lower tractive conditions, saving fuel, according to DEVELON.

DEVELON designed the DD130 dozer with operator comfort in mind. An air-suspension seat and the cab's suspension system provide a smooth ride, while a robust heating and cooling system is designed to maintain operator comfort in all seasons. Front and door glass defrost vents enhance visibility. High-illumination LED lights provide additional visibility for low-light working conditions, according to DEVELON.
