Kioti's Largest Compact Tractor: DK20 Series

Kioti’s DK20 Series of compact tractors include some big features to suit your needs — these tractors are anything but “small” when it comes to options. 

Joel Hicks, product line manager at Kioti Tractor, recently met with Farms.com to discuss the lineup.  

Designed to cater to a range of farm tasks, the DK20 Series boasts horsepower ranging from 40 to 60. 

The DK20 is available in various configurations including three mechanical transmission variants and four Hydrostat options, including a model with a cab.  

The Hydrostat models are particularly user-friendly, equipped with a factory-direct joystick valve that simplifies operations. This joystick includes buttons for additional functionalities, such as a third function or an RPM increase, which are ideal for tasks requiring quick loader actions. 

Kioti has focused on enhancing the tractor's utility and convenience. For instance, the DK20 features new styling elements like LED headlights, which are a step up from the previous 10 Series.  

The wide, flat deck platform offers comfort and easy maneuverability, available with three ranges on HST models and two on the mechanical models. Mechanical models also benefit from a synchronized shuttle for smoother operation. 

A notable aspect of the DK20 Series is its maintenance design. All critical checkpoints, such as engine oil, coolant, and air cleaner, are conveniently located on one side of the tractor.  

The Series also includes the option to add a Kioti grapple, enhancing the tractor’s versatility. This feature utilizes a third function valve that is simple to install, either by a dealer or by users themselves, thanks to its plug-and-play design.  

Coyote’s DK20 Series is a reliable and durable choice for farmers seeking a compact yet powerful tractor.
