Kioti announces Australian release of its most powerful tractor ever

KIOTI'S top–of–the–line HX Series of high horsepower, premium tractors has arrived Down Under.

This is very much the 'next chapter' for the renowned South Korean manufacturer, as it now completes a full service offering, from sub–compact to compact, utility to heavy footprint tractors.

Notably, all major components are built by Daedong, including engine, transmission, cabin and planetary drive front axle.

The HX Series comprises two models, with respective outputs of 130 horsepower and 140 horsepower, and features the OEM's own fuel efficient CRDI 3.8L diesel engine, a luxurious and spacious working environment, eight speed Powershift, 32 x 32 transmission, 230 litre fuel tank and a whopping 4852 kilogram lift capacity.

Features include an adjustable multifunctional armrest; work and drive modes to change the take up point of the clutch; three speed PTO with PTO cruise control which sets the working rpm; auto 2WD disengages 4WD when travelling more than 20km/h; air seat which swivels both ways, head rest, seat warmer and comfort trainer seat; and limited slip front differential.

These tractors represent remarkable versatility, with a sturdy, imposing footprint ideal for rugged paddock work, cultivation, heavy duty lifting, haymaking, road travel and all manner of towing implements.

PFG Australia, proud distributor of Daedong/Kioti since 2000, recently unveiled the HX to its dealer network ahead of a wider national launch.

Michael Cook, dealer co–principal at Engage Ag in Toowoomba, Queensland, said: "It takes Kioti into the serious farming segment and it's the next step for Kioti in terms of refinement.

"By that I mean style, finish, cab and weight. Plus, we know this will build on their reputation – the R&D and quality is there."

Stuart Phillips, national sales manager of Kioti Australia, said: "We did anticipate a surge in interest given Kioti's build up and investment in the HX, but the response is phenomenal.
