Tier D — Global / grey-import South Korea Est. 1947

Daedong (Kioti)

A major South Korean agricultural-machinery maker (Daegu; sold as KIOTI in North America); a long history of power tillers alongside its compact tractors, the current DT-series being diesel walking tractors for Asian markets, bought by import in the UK and EU.

Daedong, a Korean power-tiller maker since 1962

Daedong Industrial was founded in 1947 in Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do, and began manufacturing power tillers in 1962. Its head office and factory are located in Daegu, South Korea.

In 1993 Daedong acquired the KIOTI brand and founded Daedong USA, and KIOTI became its brand for overseas markets. We list one Daedong walking tractor, the DT100N(S).

For a buyer in the UK or EU, the question is how the machine reaches you and who supports it after the sale. Do not assume that a dealer for the group's tractors will hold parts for a walking tractor: ask before you buy. Find out who imports the DT100N(S), whether they keep spare parts, what warranty they give and who honours it. On a used machine, check the engine, clutch and transmission, look for oil leaks, and record the model and serial numbers so you can order the right parts later. Ask which implements are included, since these change what the machine can do for you.
