WENDELL, N.C. — KIOTI Tractor, a division of Daedong-USA,
Inc., announced its lineup of all-new products slated to hit the market in
2021. New products include the NS Series of tractors, K9 2400 Cab utility
vehicle, CX2510H Cab tractor, field-option cab for the CS20 Series tractors and
a line of grapples. The company also announced its plans to enter the compact
construction market, with a compact track loader and skid-steer currently in
development.
The new
offerings were first revealed in December at KIOTI’s annual dealer
meeting, held virtually and attended by dealers and distributors across the
United States, Canada and Europe. The meeting, centered around the theme of
“Savage Instinct,” highlighted the determination of KIOTI dealers and
customers.
“The broad
array of new products KIOTI has introduced for 2021 continues to show the
company’s drive to diversify product lines to support customer demands,”
said Peter Dong-Kyun Kim, president and CEO of Daedong-USA, Inc. KIOTI
Tractor Division. “KIOTI is proud to announce significant investments in our
personnel and operational capacity, as well as massive infrastructure updates,
to continue the momentum we generated in 2020. The company is rapidly scaling
up to match demand and is maintaining the superior customer experience we’re
known for. We’re eager to continue this ferocious growth and success with
all-new additions to the KIOTI product lineup coming to dealers and customers
in the year ahead.”
New Products
The all-new NS
Series of KIOTI tractors was designed to meet the needs of
value-conscious customers who require a powerful tractor and larger platform.
The series will include five models, with engines ranging from 45- to 58-hp.
All models will feature high-capacity hydraulics and power steering, with the
option for a synchro shuttle or HST transmission. NS Series tractors feature
both an adjustable three-point hitch and an independent PTO with auto and
manual selections.
The latest
addition to KIOTI’s K9 utility vehicle series, the all-new K9
2400 Cab will offer an audio system with speakers, air conditioning,
heat and defrost, a tilt-opening windshield and four-wheel drive. The UTV will
also boast advancements to reduce vibration and noise in addition to a
redesigned CVT with engine braking capabilities.
Joining
KIOTI’s CX Series tractor lineup, the CX2510
CH model will feature a 24.5-hp engine, heated and cooled factory
cabin, cruise control and power steering. Operators will find comfort in the
tractor’s open platform design, plus convenience in its rear PTO with an
adjustable three-point hitch.
The
brand-new CS20 Series field option cab will be available as an
accessory to KIOTI’s CS20 Series tractors. The cab will
come standard with a heater, defrost, front working lamps and wiper, with
optional add-ons including a Bluetooth
audio player, beacon kit and floor mat.
Finally,
KIOTI is expanding its product selection with an all-new line of KIOTI
grapple attachments. The initial grapple offering consists of both
compact and standard duty rake grapples, with three different models in each
ranging from 48 to 72 inches, and weights ranging from 198 to 476 pounds. The
grapples are made of AR400 steel and built for tasks of all sizes.
KIOTI’s
first-ever compact construction products, a skid-steer and compact
track loader, are currently in development. Both machines will be
completely designed, engineered and manufactured by KIOTI’s parent company,
Daedong, allowing for superior quality control over every element of each piece
of equipment. They will both also include a KIOTI engine and powertrain. The
compact construction products received accolades from KIOTI dealers after the
meeting and will add tremendous value to KIOTI’s product selection.
