KIOTI showcases new UTVs and tractors

The company is also doubling the size of its North American facilities.


At the 2018 GIE+EXPO, KIOTI showcased its K9 utility vehicle series with the K9 2400 model, featuring a new automotive-style dash configuration, tilt steering and front/rear independent dual A-arm suspension with CV joint guards. The K9 boasts a 24 horsepower, 3-cylinder, in-line vertical, water-cooled Daedong diesel engine with a ground speed up to 31 mph.

Additionally, the K9 has one of the largest all-metal beds in its class with an impressive 1,102 lbs.capacity and an optional hydraulic dump kit. Other key standard features include:
• 12.5-inch ground clearance with HD, Turf, ATV and Tomahawk tire options
• Towing capacity of 1,300 lbs. and payload capacity of 1,598 lbs.
• Spray-in bed liner
• Hydraulic power steering

KIOTI also showed off its expanded CK10SE series with four new models now available with factory cabs.

Operators can choose the machine that best fits their unique needs from the CK10SE Series lineup,
with engine gross horsepower options (34.9 hp or 39.6 hp), PTO options (28 hp to 34.9 hp)
and synchronized shuttle or hydrostatic ROPS or hydrostatic cab models.

Three-cylinder, in-line vertical, water-cooled, fuel-efficient Daedong diesel engines power all six
models. A wide range of features, including hydrostatic power steering, telescopic lower link and
stabilizers, rear independent PTO, rear differential lock, mechanically actuated 4WD and rear dual
remote valves with four ports are standard on all models. The CK10SE Series also features high
ground clearance and three options for tires, helping tackle the toughest terrain.

The company also showed its expanded DK10 compact tractors. The DK10SE series includes four cab models: the DK4210SE HC, DK4710SE HC, DK5310SE HC and DK6010SE HC. It showed four ROPS models: the DK4210SE HST, DK4710SE HST, DK5310SE HST and DK6010SE HST.

“The new SE Series truly lives up to the DK10’s reputation for both power and smooth handling,”
said Peter Dong-Kyun Kim, president and CEO of Daedong-USA, Inc., KIOTI Tractor Division.

The company has also broken ground on a $13-million expansion of its North American headquarters in Wendell, North Carolina. Estimated for completion in late 2019, this expansion will double the size of existing facilities.
