Korean ag-brand Kioti has taken the next step up with its new PX1052 tractor featuring more power and traction.
Originally launched in 2013 as the PX1002, the new model now offers 105hp and larger tyres to get more power to the ground.

Powered by a four-cylinder Perkins diesel engine the PX1052 is the most powerful model in the PX range – a range which also features the 95hp PX9520.
With a weight of four tonnes the workhorse is ideal for a wide range of farming tasks, particularly front-end loader work.
It also features a larger set of 13-inch front and 18-inch rear tyres for better traction.
A 120-litre fuel tank and a fuel efficient engine means the PX1052 can get more done between fuel breaks.
Hydrostatic power steering on the tractor provides a smooth, responsive drive and is therefore suitable for loader work.
Kioti has installed a European power shuttle transmission with 36 forward and 36 reverse gears, which allows smooth and easy shifting from forward to reverse without depressing the clutch pedal.
A two-speed PTO of 540/1000rpm with auto stop function comes standard on the PX1052.
A key feature of the new Kioti is its air-conditioned cabin, which the company claims is quieter and features a range of creature comforts for a pleasant driving experience.
Wide windshields offer optimum visibility for operators to carry out loader work, and the steering wheel is fully adjustable to suit individual operator needs.
Controls are set within easy reach from the operator’s seat and are colour-coded for ease of identification.
Other creature comforts available with the PX1052 include an air-con/heating system, CD player, suspension seat and mobile holder.
The tractor features standard dual-remote hydraulic valves to accommodate a wide variety of attachments, and it has a lifting capacity of 2400kg.
Other features of the PX1052 include: front projection and rear working lamps for better visibility at night; a reverse beeper; and a one touch bonnet.
The PX series and the entire Kioti range are distributed in the country by PFG Australia. The new PX tractor range is available now at Kioti dealerships nationwide.
