Kioti Debuts CS2530C Sub Compact Tractor with HVAC

Kioti Tractor has introduced the CS2530C, the first sub-compact tractor in the industry with a factory-installed heating and air conditioning system.  

This feature ensures operator comfort in all seasons, making it a valuable addition for farmers and property owners. 

Joel Hicks, tractor product line manager with Kioti Tractor, recently met with Farms.com to unveil this first-ever feature. 

The CS2530C is designed for versatility and ease of use. It features the SL2530 quick-disconnect loader with a quick-attach bucket, allowing for seamless switching between tasks. 

A sturdy grill guard provides front-end protection, and an optional mesh screen enhances durability. 

A key highlight of this model, apart from the new HVAC system, is its spacious cab. Designed to accommodate both small and large operators, it provides comfort for extended working hours.  

Despite its roomy interior, the overall height remains under 83 inches, making it compact enough to fit through an 84-inch roll-up door. 

This allows easy storage in garages or sheds, particularly beneficial in colder regions where snow removal equipment is essential. 

The CS2530C is compatible with various attachments, including loaders, mowers, and backhoes, expanding its functionality. 

Its efficient HVAC system ensures that operators can work in a comfortable environment, even in extreme weather conditions. 

Another standout feature is Kioti Connect, the brand’s telematics system. 

This smartphone-compatible app provides real-time tractor diagnostics, fuel level alerts, and maintenance reminders, ensuring smooth operation and reduced downtime.
