Kioti Skid Steer / Excavator?

[Frosty]

Does anyone know if/when Kioti will manufacture/market skid steers and/or excavators?

Following.

Don't know but they now have Z turn mowers.

Haven't heard anything if they did it would likely be a re-branded machine I would think. That's what most manufacturer's do these days. Or if its a Chinese manufacturer they just rip off somebody else's design. Lol

My dealer said that the parent company makes excavators in Korea and expects that they will begin importing them within a year or two.

Don’t know about skids.

They have crates of ztr’s stacked four or five high, just unloaded

Any idea on what size mini-excavator they'll be marketting? I'd like something like a Kubota KX-080.

I rented a Kubota KX033 last fall w/ 36" ditch clean out bucket. Worked great! I think a KX040 would do me just fine but wondering if Kioti might have something coming on the production line. I'm very happy with my 2010 CK35 HST - just turned 1,000 hrs.! The backhoe is pretty limited for my irrigation work. I will take the Kioti tractor over the Kubota tractor but might have to settle for a Kubota excavator ??? IF I can ever get one - LOL!

Doosan is the parent company and so it is possible to get wheel loaders, excavators, but not skidloaders since Doosan doesn't make those. Doosan is selling under the Doosan name here in Minnesota.

See if you cannot find a Yanmar mini-ex in your area.

A desirable feature Kubota has is the 6-way blade. I don't know ANY others that have a 6-way. Most I think are just up/down. Thanks for the info on Doosan, I didn't know they are Kioti parent company.

Yanmar is a good machine but man is that video slanted and some points are almost funny if you really own/run some of these machines.

Their not. DaeDong is the parent company.

Their not. DaeDong is the parent company.

Doosan engines, engine management.

Maybe you could show a Doosan connection.

 

[grsthegreat]

DaeDong makes their own engines. Kioti Industrial Diesel Engines – Engines Plus

Not Doosan

The latest Doosan and Daedong partnership Doosan Bobcat to enter N. American agricultural tractor market - ???? ???? ??(Pulse)

Doosan supplying engine to Daedong. Doosan signs engine supply contract with Korea's No. 1 agricultural machinery manufacturer - Auto Tech updates

The engine management systems on my NX uses the same Diagnostic connector as Doosan. Doosan has a family of 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0L engines same as Daedong. I may have it backward in that Daedong is syupplying smaller engines to Doosan, whiole Doosan is supplying larger engines to Daedong.

 

[MichiganIron]

There's a little bit of confusion here. Here's the relationship"

Daedong is the parent company of KIOTI Tractor.
Daedong (KIOTI) uses a Doosan engine in the PX Series Tractors only. CK, DK, NX, RX, Mechron, K9 engines are Daedong.
Doosan has an agreement with Daedong on compact tractors. Daedong will supply Doosan with certain model compact tractors to be labeled and sold as Bobcat (again). Those re-labeled tractors will have Daedong Engines.

Hope this helps..
