The company is bringing a new cab option to its side-by-side machines

By Farms.com

Kioti has made improvements to the cabs on its K9 side-by-side products.

New and available for customers beginning in spring 2022 is the Factory Cab complete with heating and air conditioning.

The optional cab can be added to the K9 2400 or the K9 2440.

“It has a really nice fully featured cab and an (optional) full glass windshield that opens almost to 90 degrees,” Greg Bibee, director of strategic marketing and sales with Kioti Tractor, told Farms.com at the National Farm Machinery Show.

The factory cab also has an automotive style headliner, plenty of storage, ergonomic controls and optional entertainment capabilities.

And lights around the machine provide extra visibility at night.

“The cab model features LED working lights on the front and the rear,” Bibee said.

In addition, Kioti made changes to ensure an enjoyable experience for the operator.

“Front and rear dual A-arm independent suspension and an interior rubber floor mat provide a smooth and quiet ride,” the K9 brochure says.

A team from Farms.com were among the 255,000 attendees to walk the 1.2 million square-feet of exhibit space between Feb. 16 and 19.

Be sure to visit the website often as Farms.com will continue to upload content from the National Farm Machinery Show.

Video: Five Confirmed New World Screwworm Cases Raise Alarm for Livestock and Pet Owners

Pat Hoffman, Swine Technical Consultant and Elanco Animal Health tells us about the inpact or New World Screwworm. The emergence of New World screwworm in the U.S. creates a threat for veterinarians, livestock producers and pet owners that has not been seen north of the Florida Keys since the fly was eradicated from the United States more than 50 years ago. New World screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) larvae feed on living tissue and can affect a wide range of warm-blooded animals, including livestock, companion animals, wildlife, and even humans.
“New World screwworm could have a devastating impact on animal health, welfare, and producer livelihoods,” said Jeff Simmons, President and CEO, Elanco Animal Health. “We want to thank the FDA, EPA and USDA, for all their work to prepare for this threat. We’re committed to supporting our customers during this challenging time by delivering innovation, scientific expertise, and available resources to help treat New World screwworm and support the health and well-being of animals.”
Elanco is working alongside the U.S. animal health industry to help them fight against this parasite, offering a portfolio of options for pets and livestock that can help treat New World screwworm larvae infestations.
