Among the five models of DEVELON small crawler excavators on sale, the DX63/DX85R models are not sold in China. From the official information, the appearance and internal performance parameters of these two models are obviously different from the series on sale in China. There are also differences in the engine models and brands of several models. In addition, the models sold in China are queried from the official website, and even a large number of engineering machinery manufacturers are referenced. There is usually a generation of performance gap in the models sold in China. This is difficult to understand, and this is not only in China.
Asia is a major engineering machinery manufacturing country. The engineering machinery of Japan, South Korea, China and some neighboring countries depends on the import and export of these three countries. China is currently the largest engineering machinery manufacturing country in Asia. In addition to a variety of brands and models, the price is cheap and the performance is excellent, covering a large number of market shares in neighboring countries. But it is not just the DEVELON brand. Brands such as Komatsu, Hitachi, and Kobelco also have errors and model distinctions in China's manufacturing industry.
However, through investigation, it can be understood that the sales volume of short-tail and Mini excavators in China is relatively low, and the competition among Chinese engineering machinery enterprises is fierce. Many brands have entered into a fierce price war. In order to save costs and consider the benefits, some materials are simplified, which makes the quality and reliability of the equipment very different. We will find many distinctions in the excavators of the same brand model. Although the appearance and model are the same, the prices are very different. There is no problem in choosing a simplified version of the excavator for cheapness in a short time, but quality is the core competitiveness of engineering machinery.

The DX63 and 85R series sold in Europe and the United States can be seen to have huge differences in appearance. Although the main colors are still based on orange and dark gray, the differences in layout and structure can distinguish them from a distance. This is also one of the changes of the new DEVELON. The powertrain adopts the new D24 series. The core power of these two engines is 44.3Kw/48.5Kw, which far exceeds the DX60 and DX75 versions currently sold in Asia. The difference between a small excavator is 20% power error, and there are also differences in fuel economy.
However, considering the investment cost and the competitive environment, the manufacturers' response to the market is reduced. Excessive increase in production capacity and upgrading of production lines are also a burden and pressure. For the European market, new products can often bring more user recognition and reputation. For the core assembly of DEVELON, most models have adopted their own power, and a small number of old models use Yanmar engines. This is also the long-term partner of DEVELON's predecessor DOOSAN. Due to different requirements in cost and technology, DEVELON may focus on the European and American markets in the future.
Tiedou used excavator trade network provides DEVELON excavators. There are new models currently on sale and cheaper old models. The value retention rate has always been at a general level. Compared with the price of new machines, choosing DEVELON can enjoy a price discount of nearly 70%. New construction machinery can enjoy the after-sales service provided by the manufacturer, but the price of the equipment is high and the initial budget is high. Although the purchase of used excavators lacks perfect after-sales service, Tiedou still provides 3-12 months of after-sales service, and provides price discounts or three major warranty services according to the type of brand and user budget/buyout system.
The DEVELON brand has a large number of sales and service providers around the world. In addition to the price, the performance and reliability of new excavators are higher than those of used excavators. However, through Tiedou's comprehensive testing and evaluation of used excavators, the failure rate and defects can be basically avoided, greatly reducing the potential failures that users may face during use. We also welcome users to come to the Tiedou sales site for selection testing.
