KIOTI’s innovative features enhance operator comfort and efficiency
Designed to provide superior operator comfort and optimise operational efficiency, KIOTI CK and DK compact tractors can take away the stress of carrying out tasks such mowing and verti-draining within the turf maintenance sector.
All KIOTI CK and DK compact tractors boast an Auto PTO system, which can be engaged with the touch of a switch. This system automatically stops the rear power take-off (PTO) and the implement from working when the implement is raised to a predetermined height.
The PTO is reengaged when the rear linkage is lowered, streamlining operations and saving valuable time.
In addition, the tractors come equipped with PTO Cruise, a stress free function that allows operators to set the engine RPM at the press of a switch. This ensures a constant engine and PTO speed, with the flexibility to adjust the speed up or down by 50 RPM as required.
The PTO Cruise is temporarily disengaged when the brake pedal is pressed, and it can be quickly brought back up to speed by pressing the ‘Res’ button when the implement is ready to resume work. This feature eliminates the need for operators to manually set the engine speed using the hand throttle every time and is available as an option on all CK tractors and open platform DK tractors, while being a standard feature on cabin DK tractors.
Furthermore, the incorporation of Cruise Control technology in the tractors adds an extra layer of convenience for operators. With hydrostatic transmissions maintaining a specific forward speed can be challenging, as it requires continuous pressure on the forward pedal. The Cruise Control feature, activated with a simple switch press, maintains the current forward speed without the need for constant pedal pressure, enhancing operational efficiency. Cruise Control is available on all HST tractors. n www.kioti-uk.com
The CK and DK compact tractors are available in various models to suit different power requirements, ranging from 24.8 to 58.5 horsepower. These tractors are powered by KIOTI’s stage V compliant diesel engines, ensuring optimal performance while adhering to environmental standards. Customers can choose between open platform or air-conditioned cabin options, as well as manual or HST hydrostatic transmissions, providing flexibility to meet individual needs.
The compact size, power, and impressive specifications of the CK and DK tractors make them an ideal choice for professional sports turf maintenance and larger commercial estate management applications. Whether it’s enhancing manoeuverability with Auto PTO, maintaining consistent engine and PTO speeds with PTO Cruise, or enjoying the convenience of Cruise Control, KIOTI compact tractors offer unmatched operator comfort and efficiency.
