Taking a Look at the Develon Dash-9 Excavators from an American Perspective
South Korean construction equipment manufacturer Develon (formerly Doosan) continues to roll out their latest Dash-9 excavators across the world.
Another interesting video I came across over the weekend, was the one featured at the bottom of this post, made by Dracut, northeastern Massachusetts, based dealership Equipment East and presented by Laura Lee.

Having spent time on, or at least around, both the Develon DX260LC-9 and DX230LC-9 I have to say, I am very impressed with these new models which were officially released during Bauma last year, and they completely changed my opinion of the brand, as the machines which are now brimming with new technology, and superb automotive style comfort in the cab, are taking excavator specification to the next level.

The DX400LC-9 was a star attraction on the Develon Europe stand at the recent Hillhead Show, and looked impressive with the reflective Brandfix sticker on the counterweight, and it was great to catch up with our friend, Develon hydraulic excavator and dozer Product Manager, Stephane Dieu who was on hand to tell us more about the latest developments at the company, which we will talk about in more detail at a later date.
In the meantime, enjoy this American view of the Develon Dash-9 range.
