MECHRON Cometh

Available in spring 2010, KIOTI’s MECHRON utility vehicle is adding high-performance UTVs to its full line of rural work equipment. The company already engineers an extensive line of orange, field-proven compact tractors from its Wendell, N.C., headquarters — from 22 to 90 hp. Now the company will also manufacture the MECHRON — a pure UTV, offering an outstanding combination of productive features for both work and recreation.

This UTV is driven by a fuel-efficient, 22-hp, three-cylinder, Daedong diesel engine that gives big power and excellent fuel economy. With one of the widest tracks on the market and four-wheel drive, the MECHRON delivers stable operation and superior traction over challenging terrain and up steep slopes. Front limited slip differential and rear differential lock are standard. The KIOTI UTV offers a 56-in. wide dump bed (the widest on the market for a 1,600-lb payload capacity, 23 percent higher than the market leader).

Standard equipment includes a two-speed continuously variable transmission, four-wheel disk brakes, a rear hitch receiver for a trailer or three-point hitch, a convenient operator station with lots of storage compartments, halogen headlights and an excellent design for easy servicing. Options include a hydraulic lift for the dump bed, front receiver and winch, rear operator screen, windshield, work lights, fog lights, dump bed cargo extenders and a Realtree Camo finish.
