Hyundai employs Cummins engines driving through electronically controlled Ergopower automatic transmissions in the Dash 7 wheel loaders. Proportional valves enable very precise control of the clutches, and a gear-change monitoring function adjusts shift pressure in the clutches for smooth shifts with no interruption of traction. A manual transmission is optional. Helical gear pumps reduce hydraulic-system noise compared to Dash 3 machines.

100- to 200-hp models: 5

New models: HL730-7, HL730TM-7 and HL730XTD-7

Product-line features: Air-conditioning capacity in the Dash 7 wheel loaders has been increased 16 percent, and heater capacity is cranked up 56 percent. Hyundai increased steering-pump capacity and reduced the number of steering-wheel turns lock-to-lock. Two doors allow access from either side of the cab.
