I am interested in these new tractors from Kioti. I watched the video on the Kioti website. I can't find any other info. Is there anywhere else to learn about them??
I would guess by January as the new EPA junk
My dealer was in NC to a presentation a few weeks back. (more like a week long getaway) and told me last week that the new tier 4 stuff would be available by March or April next year. A new 66hp and 72hp, as well as a 65hp HST machine.
Wendell, NC – Oct. 15, 2013 – KIOTI Tractor, a division of Daedong-USA, Inc., will preview its latest line of tractors at the Sunbelt Ag Expo in Moultrie, Ga., October 15-17, 2013. KIOTI Tractor will exhibit at Booth A-5-E during the Sunbelt Ag Expo, North America’s premier farm show that features over 1200 exhibitors showcasing the latest in farming technology.
In addition to showcasing its CS 2410 Sub Compact tractor, DS Series (35 hp – 45 hp), and DKSE Series (35 hp – 55 hp) KIOTI will unveil for the first time in a public forum its latest tractor innovations. KIOTI’s NX series and new additions to the RX series feature Daedong® Tier 4 ECO Common Rail Diesel Engines which meet the strictest requirements for Tier 4 compliance, while improving fuel efficiency and increasing output.
The engines were put through prolonged extreme conditions testing to determine high operation levels while still reaching compliance. The Daedong® Tier 4 ECO Diesel Engine endured prolonged exposure to extreme heat and elevation conditions under testing while still maintaining performance and reliability.
The RX series features a deluxe suspension seat and several transmission options: 12 x 12 synchronized, 12 x 12 power shuttle or 24 x 24 power shuttle with creeper. With enhanced turn-assist control, optional power shuttle clutch, and ergonomic controls, the new RX models ensure a smooth, comfortable, performance and long-lasting power.
The new NX series boasts excellent “4L” performance: lower vibration, lower fuel consumption, lower noise and long lifetime. In addition to its excellent driving performance, the NX series features a new hood design, torque compensation, turn-assist control, hydrostatic power steering and PTO cruise control.
Ken you know you need that extra 20 horsepower. I think of the size of the mower you could use on that 3 acres..
Is there any possible chance you have any more information on this?
Also, what are the NX model designation? Is that just the Tier 4 stuff? (or do I dare mention those evil EPA designations:laughing![]()

The good thing about all this Tier 4 stuff being integrated and mandated, is now the manufacturers can start spending more time improving other parts of the tractor, for instance, maybe now it won't be too many more years before we're seeing larger utility sized tractors with either HST or CVT transmissions.
What I would prefer even more, is a true powershift transmission on the larger utility sizes. Where you can shift both ranges and speeds on the fly. I think Kubota's GST is similar to this, as are Deere's 6R series powershift. I'd love to see a larger Kioti with this.
The spec sheet on the NX 50 released down here last month states that it has a 4 cylinder engine . Engine type 4B243LWHR Displacement 2,435 cc .Says nothing about tier 4 (USA standard) or common rail.The new NX series will start at 45HP and have a 50,55 and 60 all gear or HST. These will replace the current DK series. The roll out will start later this fall w/ mostly cab models being initially available. They have to run through the remaining inventory of DK's first. All will offer Tier 4, 3 cyl engines. The RX series will consist of a 66 and 73 HP, available either w/ cab or open station. The open station RX7310 looks really cool. Those two models will be 4 cyl. tier 4.
Also, introduced was the replacement for the CK20, the CK2510. Newer styling, a tad longer and 25 HP tier 4 engine. The remainder of the CK's will change fro 2015.
