Introduction
Kioti CK30 Compact Utility Tractor
The Kioti CK30 is a compact utility tractor manufactured by Daedong in Daegu, South Korea, and produced between 2004 and 2014. It is designed for agricultural and property maintenance tasks, offering a balance of power and maneuverability in a compact chassis.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 1.5-liter, 3-cylinder liquid-cooled Daedong 3A150D diesel engine. It generates a gross power output of 30 hp (22.4 kW) at a rated engine speed of 2600 RPM. The engine employs glow plugs for cold-start assistance and meets Tier II emission standards.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The CK30 provides two transmission configurations: a synchronized shuttle transmission offering 8 forward and 8 reverse gears, or an infinite-range hydrostatic transmission. Both versions are equipped with four-wheel drive, power steering, and wet disc brakes to ensure operational control across varying terrain.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system delivers a total flow of 12.7 gpm (48.1 lpm) and supports up to two remote valves. The rear PTO operates at dual speeds of 540/1000 RPM via a two-stage clutch, while a mid-PTO provides 2000 RPM for mid-mounted implements. The Category I rear hitch is capable of lifting 1,764 lbs (800 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Dimensions and Operator Station
The machine features a 66.1-inch wheelbase and a ground clearance of 13.82 inches. Safety is managed by a two-post foldable Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS), with an optional canopy available. Depending on the transmission, the tractor weighs between 3,042 lbs (gear) and 3,055 lbs (hydrostatic).
Conclusion
The Kioti CK30 is a versatile utility tractor suitable for small-to-medium scale agricultural applications and groundskeeping. Its combination of multiple PTO options, various transmission choices, and a robust hydraulic lift capacity makes it a reliable platform for a wide range of implement-based operations.
