Kioti CK2630D Compact Tractor (Manual)Groundcares.

Overview

The Kioti CK2630D is the manual transmission variant in the CK2630 range, offering dependable compact tractor capability in one of the most practical configurations available. It is powered by a KIOTI-built 3-cylinder diesel engine producing 24.5hp (18.3 kW) at 2,400 rpm and paired with a 12-forward, 12-reverse synchro-shuttle gearbox that gives the operator precise, predictable speed control across a wide working range.

The synchro-shuttle transmission allows direction changes without clutching, which is a genuine advantage during loader work, tight headland turns, and any repetitive forward and reverse tasks. The 12×12 gear layout gives access to a useful range of ground speeds from 1.31 to 19.78 km/h forward, covering everything from slow-speed implement work to paddock and yard transport.

Standard 4WD with manual engagement and a rear differential lock give the CK2630D reliable traction when conditions get wet or soft. The independent rear PTO operates at 540 or 540E rpm and engages via an electro-hydraulic system for smooth implement start-up. The Category I three-point hitch lifts up to 1,130 kg at the coupling point with position, draft, and mixed control, giving more hydraulic feedback and precision than the HST model variants.

The CK2630D comes with a folding centre-mounted ROPS safety bar, hydraulic power steering, illuminated gauges, and a one-piece hood for easy service access. It is the entry-level model in the CK2630 range and represents strong value for buyers who are comfortable with a manual gearbox and want a solid, low-maintenance daily workhorse. Cardiff Lawn and Garden can advise on compatible Kioti attachments and implement packages for this model.

Key Features

• KIOTI 24.5hp Diesel Engine: 3-cylinder, 1,647cc naturally aspirated diesel producing 24.5hp (18.3 kW) at 2,400 rpm, with a straightforward mechanical fuel system for easy field servicing.
• 12×12 Synchro-Shuttle Gearbox: 12 forward and 12 reverse gears with synchro-shuttle for clutch-free direction changes, giving smooth and responsive transitions during loader work, headland turns, and repetitive manoeuvres.
• Forward Speed Range: 1.31 to 19.78 km/h forward across 12 gears, covering slow-speed implement work through to yard and paddock transport.
• Standard 4WD with Manual Engagement: Four-wheel drive is standard and lever-engaged, providing improved traction across wet, soft, and uneven terrain year-round.
• Rear Differential Lock: Standard rear differential lock for maximum traction on slippery or difficult surfaces.
• Independent Rear PTO: 540 and 540E rpm PTO with electro-hydraulic engagement. Operates independently of the gearbox for full implement control regardless of ground speed.
• Position, Draft, and Mixed Hydraulic Control: The CK2630D benefits from the full three-mode hydraulic control system including position, draft, and mixed modes, giving greater precision for soil-engaging implements.
• Category I Three-Point Hitch: Maximum lift of 1,130 kg at the coupling point and 740 kg at 610mm behind. Ball-type lower links for straightforward implement connection.
• Hydraulic Power Steering: Reduces steering effort throughout the working day, including during tight turns and repeated headland manoeuvres.
• Folding Centre ROPS: The fold-down central roll bar is quick to lower for working in barns, poly tunnels, and other low-clearance areas.
• Illuminated Gauges: Easy-to-read instrument panel with tachometer, fuel, temperature, and warning lamps for clear operational awareness.
• One-Piece Hood: Folds upward for easy access to air filter, fluids, fuse box, and electrical components.
• Optional Mid and Front PTO: Centre PTO (2,000 rpm) and front PTO (1,000 rpm) available as options for mid-mounted and front-mounted implement operation.

Specifications

Typical Applications

The Kioti CK2630D is a reliable everyday compact tractor for smallholdings, equestrian properties, market gardens, nurseries, and rural estate management. It is well suited to operators familiar with manual gearbox tractors who want a dependable, cost-effective machine for three-point hitch implement work, front loader operation, and year-round property maintenance. Cardiff Lawn and Garden can match the CK2630D with compatible Kioti front loaders, mid-mount mowers, and a full range of implements.

CK2630 Series Comparison

All three CK2630 models share the same KIOTI 3-cylinder 24.5hp diesel engine, standard 4WD, rear differential lock, and Category I three-point hitch. The key differences are in transmission type and operator environment.

The CK2630D uses a 12×12 manual synchro-shuttle gearbox with mechanical engine injection and includes position, draft, and mixed hydraulic control, making it the most mechanically straightforward and cost-effective option in the range.

The CK2630H uses a three-stage HST hydrostatic transmission for smooth, pedal-controlled forward and reverse operation, making it easier to manage for operators who prefer a stepless drive system.

The CK2630CH adds a KIOTI 4-post factory cab with air conditioning, heating, cruise control, and HST-Link to the HST drivetrain, making it the premium all-season option for operators working long hours in all weather conditions.
