KIOTI CK27 ENGINE

The Kioti CK27 is powered by a Daedong 1.4L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering a compact yet efficient powertrain suitable for various agricultural tasks. Its fuel tank capacity of 7.9 gallons (29.9 liters) provides a reasonable operational range for medium-duty applications, making it advantageous for tasks such as small fieldwork or landscaping operations without frequent refueling. However, the relatively small engine size may limit performance in heavy-duty applications, necessitating careful evaluation based on the intended workload.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Kioti CK27 tractor features an 8-speed synchronized shuttle transmission, which allows for smooth transitions between forward and reverse, enhancing productivity during field operations. The hydrostatic option offers infinite speed control, providing ease of handling and superior maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces. While the shuttle transmission is beneficial for tasks requiring frequent directional changes, the complexity may pose a learning curve for novice operators.

Description

8-speed synchronized shuttle/hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The Kioti CK27 features a synchronized shuttle transmission, allowing for smooth directional changes without clutch engagement, which enhances operational efficiency. With 8 forward and reverse gears, the tractor offers versatility in various applications, from farming to landscaping. However, operators should be aware that the limited gear range may require frequent shifting in hilly or varied terrain scenarios.

Type	synchronized shuttle
Gears	8 forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Kioti CK27 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission that allows for infinite speed control across three ranges, enhancing maneuverability for tasks like tilling or mowing. The hydrostatic system offers seamless speed adjustments, which can reduce operator fatigue and increase precision in variable applications. However, this design may come with limitations in maximum torque delivery compared to traditional gear-based systems, potentially affecting performance in heavy towing scenarios.

Type	hydrostatic
Gears	infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Kioti CK27 offers a 4x4 MFWD system coupled with standard differential lock, enhancing traction on varied terrains, particularly beneficial in muddy conditions. Its power steering and wet disc brakes provide superior maneuverability and reliable stopping power, while the 8-speed synchronized shuttle/hydrostatic transmission allows for smooth operation during heavy-duty tasks. The foldable ROPS ensures safety without compromising versatility, making it suitable for both agricultural and landscaping scenarios.

KIOTI CK27 TIRES

The Kioti CK27 tractor features versatile tire options, with agricultural tires providing enhanced traction for field work, while lawn/turf tires mitigate soil compaction in landscaping and mowing applications. However, switching between tire types may require recalibration of handling characteristics and load stability, which could impact performance depending on the operating scenario. In agricultural settings, the ag tires (7-14 front and 11.2-24 rear) excel in traction, while turf tires (27x8.50-15 front and 41x14.00-20 rear) benefit residential lawn care by avoiding damage to sensitive grass surfaces.
