Kioti’s flagship HX tractors are now available with a purpose-built front loader from Spanish manufacturer Tenias.

This offers a maximum lift capacity of 1,755kg and a reach of 4.3m, and features quick-connect hydraulics and a Euro 8 rapid-release headstock.

The tractors also have the option of a hydraulically controlled telescopic rear pick-up hitch with both hook and clevis attachments, thanks to a tie-up with Dutch outfit Pateer.

Two versions of the new HX tractor are currently available in the UK – the 100hp 1001 and 115hp 1201, both powered by a 3.8-litre, four-cylinder engine from parent company Daedong.

It runs through a 32-speed, 40kph semi-powershift transmission featuring clutchless control of the powershuttle and gearshifts, the latter through the firm’s so-called E-shift function.

Other spec details of note include a 4.4t rear lift, a pair of spools as standard, and three pto speeds.

List price of the HX 1001 is £61,500 and the bigger HX 1201 is £71,750. The loaders, including mounting brackets, start at £11,900.
