Customer Feedback

DEVELON customer and Iowa contractor Jack Eike, the owner and president of Wood Duck Landscapes and BluGrade Earthworks, operates a DX62R-7 with a rotating grapple attachment on his job sites. Before purchasing the machine, he was looking for a high-performing mini excavator that was reliable and easy to service.

"It's quick, it's sturdy and it has a lot of power; a lot more power than many competitor machines," said Eike. "The reduced tail swing is vital for our operation because in many scenarios, we don't have room for three to four feet of tail swing over the tracks."

Approved DEVELON mini excavator attachments include a heavy-duty bucket, manual quick-hitch, thumb, hydraulic quick coupler and ditch-cleaning bucket.
