Read articles →This is a casual studio conversation between two Legacy Tractors staffers discussing the Kioti DK4520 in general terms, not a hands-on walkaround. They talk through lift capacity (over 2,000 lb), hydrostat vs shuttle shift options, the 42-57 horsepower turbocharged engine, and general ride feel, but there's no yard demo, no implement work, and no pricing. Best for a quick conceptual overview before visiting a dealer in person.
Posted by Legacy Tractors, a dealership channel, so expect a sales-floor conversation rather than an independent or owner-operator review.
It has a nice lift capacity bumped up above 2,000 lb, enough to handle a 4x4 hay bale, especially with some ballast in the back tires for counterweight.
Both. It has a hydrostat model and a shuttle shift model. The shuttle shift has high and low range plus four gears, and loses less horsepower at the PTO.
Somewhere between 42 to 57 horsepower, maybe rounded to 45 to 55, with a turbocharged engine that performs consistently at sea level or high altitude.
The horsepower allows it to operate most 6-ft implements, especially a 6-ft brush hog on the back end.
