WENDELL, N.C. – KIOTI Tractor, a division of Daedong-USA, began shipping its inaugural Zero Turn Radius mower line to dealerships across North America this week.
The new mower line features 12 models across four series – ZXR, ZXR
SE, ZXC and ZXC SE – designed and developed from the ground up, for commercial
and residential applications.
“At
KIOTI, our priority is continued product line optimization to meet the desires
of our customers,” said Peter Dong-Kyun Kim, president and CEO of Daedong-USA, KIOTI Tractor Division. “Our teams put in a lot of time and research to
ensure these mowers provide an exceptional experience and great value to our
customers. We are thrilled to expand the KIOTI offering with these brand new
ZXR and ZXCs.”
The
KIOTI ZTRs' engines
range from 21- to 27-hp, with six models developed for professionals and six
with property owners and hobby farmers in mind. Owners can choose from 48-, 54-
or 60-inch mower decks, each with a fabricated, reinforced 10-gauge steel deck
and standard notch blades that cut through the toughest turf.
Large 7.5-gallon (ZXR and ZXR SE) or 12.5-gallon (ZXC and ZXC SE) fuel capacities require less frequent refueling, saving time for operators. Models feature Briggs & Stratton or Kohler engines combined with Hydro-Gear transmissions. Optimized belt routing reduces vibration and increases belt life, easing the burden of machine downtime and replacement costs.
“All
aspects of these mowers were built with the operator in mind – from
easy-to-reach controls and an ergonomically designed seating position to a
digital control panel with keyless start and simple dial-type deck height
adjustment,” said Joel Hicks, senior product development manager.
