Daedong established a 90-140 horsepower mid-to-large tractor pull line-up in the European market from July 2022 to March 2024. In order to strengthen price competitiveness, Daedong, which first introduced a general model to raise awareness of the "KIOTI" brand, has been closely analyzing market reactions and exploring the possibility of entering the premium market.
Especially in the European market, it has been confirmed that there is a high demand for high-end products that consider efficiency, driving convenience, and ride comfort beyond simple mechanical performance. "HX1403" is a European-oriented strategic model designed to reflect this demand, and this is the first time Daedong has launched a premium tractor in the European market.
'HX1403' has a wide range of specifications to match the premium class. Daedong focused on improving ▲ work performance ▲ driving convenience ▲ comfortability in line with the characteristics of agricultural work in Europe, where long hours of work are common and heavy work machines are used.
First, it is noticeable that a closed-circuit type hydraulic system is applied to improve work performance. The closed circuit method has the advantage of high energy efficiency as oil flows only when the valve is operated, and multiple work machines can be controlled at the same time, although the cost of manufacturing is higher than that of the Open Center, where hydraulic oil continues to circulate.
In addition, the hydraulic pump capacity is 119ℓ/min, the highest in the class, and it can supply a lot of hydraulic oil per unit time, which can drive various devices faster and more efficiently. Through this, multiple work machines are operated simultaneously, tasks that require precise operation, and high-load tasks are performed stably without deteriorating performance.
It is also equipped with various functions to increase driving convenience. Regardless of the intensity of the clutch pedal operation, "Comfort Clutch," which starts smoothly at a constant speed and prevents sudden start, "Easy Stop," which can completely stop with brakes without clutch operation, and "Auto Power Shift," which can quickly shift gears without clutching even under load conditions. Due to the nature of agricultural work with frequent stops and departures, such functions are a key factor in maximizing work efficiency.
The driver-centered high-end design also stands out. The "cabin suspension" effectively absorbs road shock and noise, and provides a comfortable ride even when working for a long time by applying the "air suspension" function and ventilation seat. Rear cameras, front and rear LED work lights, indoor auxiliary lights, USB charging ports, and power sockets are all configured with basic specifications to increase practicality and convenience. In particular, the newly developed 12.3-inch high-resolution LCD monitor can intuitively check and control various work information.
"The demand for high-end products with technology and brand trust is becoming increasingly clear in the European market, and 'HX1403' is the result of preemptively responding to these market changes," said Yoon Chi-hwan, head of Daedong's European subsidiary. "We will strengthen our portfolio centering on medium and large product lines to solidify our position in the European agricultural machinery market and further increase the value of the 'Kaiotti' brand."
Meanwhile, Daedong participated in Europe's largest landscape industry exhibition "DeomoPark" held in Eisenach, Germany from the 22nd to 24th to expand contact with European customers. It operates a 600㎡ (about 182 pyeong) booth and introduces a wide range of tractor lineups ranging from small to medium-sized, including the 20 horsepower CS series and the 70 horsepower RX series, focusing on the newly unveiled 140 horsepower "HX1403." It also attracted the attention of local customers in Europe by displaying a total of 14 major products, including the multi-purpose vehicle K9 optimized for rough driving and the Zero Turnmore ZX series, which has a strong working range.
