Developed specifically for forestry applications, the DX225RB-7 road builder pairs the recognizable power of DEVELON excavators with specialized forestry features.
With increased swing torque and improved lifting capacity, the DX225RB-7 can dig and remove trees, brush, and stumps more efficiently, even in rough forest terrain. The fine swing function reduces the amount of swinging when working with heavy loads, resulting in better control and safer operation. And the one-touch power boost, conveniently located on the right-hand joystick, provides a momentary hydraulic boost when you need more lifting power.
Work Comfortably
An intelligently designed cab makes it easy to focus on your work. You’re surrounded by more foot space, better visibility and automotive-style heating and air conditioning with adjustable airflow. Work comfortably with the standard heated air-suspension seat and simple controls.
Enhanced Visibility
Sightlines are critical for operator performance and job site safety, and DEVELON road builders provide the best possible view from inside the cab.
A standard rotating beacon enhances the road builder’s visibility on busy job sites or when working in low light conditions. Narrow cab pillars provide less obstructed views, standard LED front and rear working lights help identify obstacles, while standard rearview and side view cameras and optional around view monitor (AVM) camera system provide a full view of surroundings.
