Kioti Unveils Flow+ System for Skid Steers and Compact Track Loaders

Thanks to the new Flow+ technology from Kioti Tractor, operators will now have hydraulic capabilities that are just right for their tasks at hand. Kioti’s Flow+ skid steers and compact track loaders provide power that goes beyond standard flow, but without the excessive cost or fuel consumption of full high-flow systems. 

“At Kioti, we’re committed to developing solutions that maximize the performance of our equipment,” said Justin Moe, product manager – compact construction at Kioti “Flow+ bridges the gap between standard and high-flow systems, providing operators with the hydraulic power needed to handle more demanding tasks, while improving engine functionality, fuel savings and overall versatility.” 

According to Kioti, Flow+ allows operators to seamlessly run light- to medium-duty hydraulic attachments, while still supporting standard-flow ones. Talk about versatility.

The company said that Flow+ optimizes performance and long-term durability by providing more power than standard-flow systems, while reducing heat and wear compared to high-flow alternatives. Operators will benefit from quick attachment changes, which minimize downtime. The technology’s optimized hydraulic power management conserves fuel. This helps extend operational hours without unnecessary consumption.  

Features of the Flow+ System

Kioti’s new system is designed with a five-port coupler block, dedicated Flow+ tube lines and valve, and an added gear pump to ensure seamless hydraulic operation. The company noted that new Flow+ models boast a significant upgrade in hydraulic performance compared to standard models. Operators can expect enhanced power and efficiency for demanding tasks.

From the press release:

While the standard models operate at 3,335 psi (230 bar) with a hydraulic flow of 21.9 gpm and 41.80 hp, the Flow+ models operate at a lower pressure of 2,900 psi (200 bar) but provide a higher hydraulic flow of 34 gpm and an impressive 65.70 hp. This increased flow and horsepower in the Flow+ models translates to greater attachment versatility, improved operational efficiency and the ability to handle more intensive applications with ease.
