> Environmentally Friendly Engine Kioti offers a quieter, smoother running diesel engine that meets or exceeds EPA and CARB regulations. KIOTI engines have passed a stringent 2000 hour durability test equivalent to 5,000 hours of normal operation. > Improved Engine Exhaust By locating the muffler and exhaust system inside the engine compartment, visibility is greatly improved. > 8x8 Transmission with Shuttle 8 forward and 8 reverse speeds along with shuttle shift is the perfect combination for those back and forth front-end loader operations. The synchronized main gearshift allows quick and easy shifting. The main transmission shifter is located to the side of the steering wheel providing more room and less obstruction on the center deck, increasing operator comfort and safety. > Bevel Gear Drive Front Axle/ Power Steering KIOTI uses a bevel gear drive system in all of its front axles. This gives a much shorter turning radius and a higher efficiency of power delivery to the front wheels. High efficiency power steering offers hours of comfortable, low fatigue operation. > Instrument Panel The tachometer, hour meter, fuel and temperature gage, battery charge lamp and other instruments are well located on the panel for easy viewing. A fully featured instrument panel, adjustable seat, grab handles, conveniently positioned controls are designed for operator comfort and user-friendly operation. > 4WD with Differential Lock The 4WD guarantees powerful traction, performance and durability. A rear wheel differential lock pedal can be applied to increase traction by locking the rear differential. > Optional TBL Package The optional TLB package includes a heavy-duty front-end loader and a quick attachable backhoe. The 'flip-over' style seat allows easy setup for backhoe operation without leaving the tractor. A front grill guard provides extra protection during loader operation. > Dual Stage Air Filter Cartridge The dual stage air filter protects the engine from harmful dust and dirt and prolongs engine life. > Foldable ROPS A fold-down roll bar makes it quick and easy to move in tight areas. > 3 Point hitch The category 1, 3-Point hitch features an adjustable right side lift rod and top link which permits quick and easy implement attachment. The LK30 out lifts any other tractors in its class because of its heavier and longer body. > Live PTO with Dual Stage Clutch Depressing the clutch halfway will stop tractor's movement. Depressing the clutch all the way down will disengage the PTO. The larger diameter, dual stage clutch guarantees more durablility and more power, especially when using the TLB package. > Wet Disc Brake Wet disc brakes offers quick and smooth braking operation and extended disc life. > More Hydraulic Power A larger hydraulic pump provides more power, resulting in implements operating smoother with higher production levels.
