The CK and DK compact tractors from KIOTI incorporate advanced fingertip controls that simplify operations and facilitate easier turns, reducing operator fatigue. These features include: 

Auto PTO: The Auto PTO feature disengages the rear Power Take-Off (PTO) when the rear linkage is raised to  a predetermined height, reengaging once the linkage is lowered.  Standard on all CK and DK tractors, the Auto PTO function prevents the rear implement from being raised too high with the PTO engaged and damaging the shaft,  enhancing safety and ease of use. 

PTO Cruise: The PTO Cruise feature sets and stores the engine rpm to maintain a consistent engine and PTO speed. Operators can adjust the speed by +/- 50 rpm as needed. When the brake pedal is pressed, the cruise PTO is temporarily disengaged, permitting slower and safer cornering. Pressing the ‘Res’ button accurately restores the preset engine speed, removing the need to repeatedly set the engine speed using the hand throttle after every headland turn. The engine speed remains stored as long as the master PTO switch is engaged, PTO Cruise is optional on all CK tractors and open platform DK tractors and standard  cabin DK tractors. 

Cruise Control: While hydrostatic transmissions (HST) allow simple change of direction and offer infinite forward speed options, maintaining that speed can be challenging as it requires continuous pedal pressure. KIOTI have addressed this issue by fitting Cruise Control to all HST hydrostatic CK and DK tractors. Once the desired forward speed is reached, the press of a switch maintains the current forward speed without the need for constant pedal, enabling smoother and more efficient operations. 

Powered by a stage V compliant KIOTI diesel engine and ranging from 24.8 to 58.5hp, the CK and DK ranges of compact tractors are well suited to professional sports turf maintenance. Available with an open platform or air-conditioned cabin, they ensure easy access and operator comfort in various weather conditions. A choice of manual or HST hydrostatic transmissions are available for both ranges, catering to individual preferences.
