> Electric over Hydraulic 4WD The 4WD is engaged with the simple push of a button. > Air Conditioner/Heater A combined heat & air conditioning system provides year round comfort while also filtering the air. > Environmentally Friendly Engine The optimized combustion turbo diesel engine is environmentally friendly and meets or exceeds EPA, CARB, and EEC regulations. It supplies a large output, offers low fuel consumption, excellent balance system, greater durability, and creates less noise and low vibration. > 12x12 Synchronized Transmission The fully synchronized shuttle and synchronized transmission provides smooth and easy shifting on the move. The DK55 transmission features 12 forward and 12 reverse gears to handle all kinds of jobs. > Auto PTO For added safety, the AUTO PTO function can be selected to automatically stop the PTO when the implement is raised by the control lever thus eliminating exposure to moving parts. A safety interlock prevents engine start when the PTO switch is left on. > Independent Rear PTO Safe and easy operation of the independent rear PTO is made possible with a hydraulic clutch. Two selectable PTO speeds (540/1000 RPM) power a wide range of implements. The engine crankshaft has a spline that will accept an optional front PTO. > MLS Control Valve The MLS value allows the user to control the speed of the 3-point lift arms, thus decreasing the impact and increasing the operational efficiency. > Position control with Draft For smooth operation of tillage tools without overloading the tractor or the implement, the draft sensing system automatically controls the lower link position to maintain the user selected draft setting. > Flip-Up PTO Guard The PTO guard is easily lifted out of the way for easy drive shaft attachment. > Telescopic Category I & II hitch Implements are easily attached with telescopic lower links and stabilizers. Interchangeable category 1 (optional) and Category 2 (standard) ends permit a wider variety of implements to be used. > Remote Hydraulic Ports (Rear) Two sets of hydraulic ports with quick-disconnect fittings are standard equipment. One circuit features a floating detent, the second circuit is detent only. A wide variety of hydraulically actuated and hydraulically driven implements can be used. > Auxiliary Lift Control The 3-point hitch can also be controlled from the ground at the rear of the tractor. Attaching implements is easier and safer with this control within easy reach. > Deluxe Operator Station The full-featured instrument panel, adjustable seat, tilt wheel, power steering, grab handles, wide step-through deck, and convenient controls are designed for operator comfort and user-friendly operation. > Deluxe Cabin The Deluxe Cab on the DK55C is equipped with a sunroof, air conditioner, heater, radio and accessories. With a flat deck design for ease of access and controlled environment, KIOTI cabs are state of the art. > Smart Mid-Mount Hydraulics Standard hydraulic couplers with joystick control provide for the quick and easy connection of a front-end loader. > Open Hood Design KIOTI's unique hood design improves visibility and allows convenient service access. A simple release lever opens the hood, and side panels can be easily removed without tools. > Foldable ROPS A fold-down roll bar makes it quick and easy to move in tight areas. > Air Filter The easily accessible air filter cartridge protects the engine from the harmful particles and prolongs the life of the engine. > Pre-Cleaner A cyclone pre-cleaner is standard on the DK55 cab model. Its radial force captures harmful particles before they can enter the main filter and engine. This helps protect the engine when working in high-dust conditions.
