TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Kioti EX45 features a 24-speed synchro shuttle hydrostatic transmission, offering smooth and efficient gear transitions suitable for varied terrain. This enhances operator control during tasks such as front-end loading or tilling, especially in tight spaces. However, the complexity of the transmission may require more extensive maintenance and understanding compared to simpler systems, which could pose a challenge for less experienced operators.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Kioti EX45 tractor features a synchro shuttle transmission, facilitating seamless directional changes, which enhances operational efficiency during tasks like loader work or turning on slopes. With 24 forward and reverse gear selections, it provides optimal torque and speed for varied applications, though the complexity of the gear system may require more operator training. The dry disc clutch, while low maintenance, may generate more wear under heavy loads, suggesting operators should monitor performance closely to prevent early degradation.
| Type | synchro shuttle |
| Gears | 24 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Kioti EX45 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission with infinite speed control across three forward and reverse ranges, enhancing maneuverability and ease of operation, particularly in tight spaces. This design minimizes shift complexity, allowing operators to focus more on task execution rather than gear changes, making it ideal for user-friendly applications such as landscaping and small farm operations. However, hydrostatic systems can be less efficient than gear-driven systems in terms of power transfer, potentially leading to reduced performance under heavy load scenarios.

| Gears | infinite (3-range) forward and reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Kioti EX45 tractor, equipped with a 4x4 MFWD chassis and mechanical rear differential lock, provides enhanced traction in various terrains, making it suitable for both agricultural and landscaping tasks. Its 24-speed synchro shuttle/hydrostatic transmission allows for smooth operation and quick responsiveness, although the complexity of the system may require more maintenance. The standard cab with air-conditioning enhances operator comfort, which is advantageous for prolonged use in hot conditions.

KIOTI EX45 TIRES
The Kioti EX45 tractor offers versatile tire options, allowing operators to match the tires to specific tasks: agricultural (AG) tires for fieldwork, lawn/turf tires for landscaping, and industrial tires for construction applications. Each tire specification varies in size and type, impacting traction, soil compaction, and maneuverability; for example, AG tires provide superior traction in soft soil, while lawn/turf tires minimize grass damage. Choosing the appropriate tire is crucial for optimizing performance and efficiency based on the operational scenario, whether it be farming, turf management, or industrial tasks.
| Standard tires (ag) | Front: 9.5-16. Rear: 13.6-26 |
| Lawn/turf front | 29x12.5-15 |
