South Korean farm equipment brand Kioti has expanded its North American tractor lineup with the release of its RX40 Utility Tractor. The machine blends power, comfort, value and performance in a versatile package. It has several upgrades from its predecessor for a better operational experience.

“We’ve reimagined what a utility tractor can offer by combining advanced features with the rugged reliability Kioti is known for. These mighty machines are built with operator needs top of mind,” says Joel Hicks, associate tractor product line manager for tractors. “It’s an investment in not only your productivity and comfort, but also contributes to the success and sustainability of your farm.”

Notable features include a five-pillar cab for more space. An updated, streamlined hood improves forward sightlines and ground visibility. The tractor is also equipped with an electronic three-point hitch and an LED instrument panel with ergonomically placed controls for intuitive operation. 

It’s equipped with Kioti’s water-cooled, four-cylinder turbocharged CRDI diesel engine, and has a 26-gallon fuel capacity. It also has a three-point lift capacity of up to 4,327 pounds.

The RX40 is available in two transmission options: power shuttle, or power shuttle with creeper for smooth maneuvering. The line has five models ranging from 66- to 73-hp in ROPS or cab configurations. Models are available at Kioti dealerships across the U.S. and Canada.
