High-spec offerings in<br />
a compact package are<br />
on offer from Kioti in its<br />
new EX Tractor Series,<br />
distributed exclusively<br />
by PFG Australia<br />
Australian demand for compact tractors has been rising<br />
steadily over the past six months, with the Instant Asset<br />
Write-Off scheme seeing farmers keen to finally buy some longneeded<br />
assets.<br />
Whether they are used on a hobby farm or small property, or<br />
bought for general purpose farm work at a larger concern, the<br />
sub-70 horsepower (52kW) compact tractor has earned its place<br />
in the shed alongside other essential pieces of farm equipment.<br />
Now, Kioti’s new EX Series enters the local market with a highspec,<br />
multi-purpose model that is tailored to the more priceconscious<br />
customer.<br />
Available in 53hp (40kW) and 58hp (43kW) versions, the Kioti<br />
EX5310 and EX5810 come complete with a number of new<br />
features that the South Korean manufacturer says will give the<br />
models an edge over the competition.<br />
Able to reach a top speed of 27.9km/h, the Kioti EX Series<br />
is designed to offer traction and excellent manoeuvrability in<br />
changing ground conditions, with wet disc-type brakes and<br />
power steering keeping the vehicle steady.<br />
Both models have 12 forward and reverse gears in a threerange<br />
smooth synchro shuttle transmission, with a dry single<br />
clutch, rear differential lock and push-button four wheel drive.<br />
They also have a powerful hydraulic system flow of 62.4L/<br />
minute, with power take-off of 540-750-1,000rpm and two sets<br />
