KIOTI Tractor has entered the compact track loader and skid-steer markets with the launch of the TL750 CTL and SL750 SSL.
"KIOTI's entrance to the compact market arrives at a pivotal time for both our company and the industry. Compact sales exploded over the last decade, with no signs of slowing down," said Justin Moe, product manager of the construction division at KIOTI Tractor. "Our customers are part of this demand, seeking compact equipment for everything from acreage management to worksite applications."
Both machines feature a wide cabin, available with the standard open station design or an optional enclosed cab with HVAC. The compact models include a high-back suspension seat and LCD digital display. The standard roll-up style door allows for easy entrance and exit, regardless of the position of the bucket or attachment. The overhead door design increases flexibility on the job as operators can work with the door open or closed.
The design enhances machine visibility to the front, sides, and rear. A rearview camera is integrated into the LCD digital display and offers rear view vision when travelling in reverse or with the push of a button. The models also feature LED front and rear work lights.
Both compact models come with a self-levelling feature that automatically keeps the bucket or attachment in a horizontal plane when lifting. This self-levelling feature is activated with the switch of a button. When enabled, the operator no longer needs to worry about manually adjusting the machine. Additionally, optional ride control further reduces material spillage and lift arm movement when moving materials across the site.
Both models utilize a 74-horsepower KIOTI diesel engine. The engine delivers consistent power and reliability, providing added confidence when tackling tough jobs.
Hydraulic pilot joystick controls offer ideal maneuverability. As a result, KIOTI says that the machine feels like an extension of the operator, enabling precise work even in tight spaces or during complex tasks. The fingertip controls allow the operator to utilize the attachment function from the joystick for smooth operation.
Designed to lift, push, and power through tough demands, the machines have up to a 10.8-foot height to hinge pin and vertical lift path. Operators can easily dump materials into trucks and high-sided hoppers.
The solid-mounted undercarriage on the TL750 keeps the machine on the ground, improving grading performance, while the track design reduces the chance of de-tracking. Other features include protected hose routing and the open track system, further enhancing durability and minimizing downtime.
For improved machine maintenance, the swing-out rear radiator allows the operator to better reach common service items by removing two bolts. Quick access to fittings and valves further simplifies servicing.
Trace Adkins receives first TL750 compact track loader
In October, KIOTI delivered its first-ever TL750 compact track loader to country music singer and songwriter Trace Adkins. Adkins received the keys to his new TL750 and spent the afternoon experiencing the machine firsthand with the KIOTI team at his Tennessee farm.
"My friends at KIOTI Tractor came out to the farm and delivered their very first track loader. The serial number even says #1! My KIOTI TL750 compact track loader is great, and I have already started using it around the farm. Being able to switch out the attachments as needed makes this loader perfect for almost any job," said Adkins.
