The Kioti DK50 is a compact utility tractor manufactured by Daedong in South Korea, produced between 2001 and 2005. It is designed for versatile use across agricultural and property maintenance applications, characterized by its mechanical reliability and compact dimensions.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Daedong 4A200T, a 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. With a displacement of 2.0 liters (122 cubic inches), it provides a gross power output of 49 hp at a rated engine speed of 2600 RPM. The engine utilizes an indirect fuel injection system and features a liquid-cooling circuit to manage thermal loads during operation.

Equipped with a synchronized shuttle transmission, the DK50 offers 12 forward and 12 reverse gears, allowing for efficient directional changes. Power is delivered to the ground via a four-wheel drive system, supported by a mechanical rear differential lock for enhanced traction. The drivetrain includes a dry disc clutch and wet disc brakes for consistent stopping performance.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is of the open-center type, featuring a pump flow of 14.2 gpm (53.7 lpm) and a system capacity of 9.9 gallons (37.5 liters). The rear hitch is Category II/I with position and draft control, capable of lifting up to 2646 lbs (1200 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point. An independent rear PTO provides 540 RPM at 2507 engine RPM.
Dimensions and Operator Station
The tractor sits on a 71.6-inch wheelbase with a ground clearance of 14.6 inches. It is available in two configurations: a standard two-post folding ROPS or an optional climate-controlled cabin.
