The headline act on the Kioti stand at this week’s Italian EIMA is the autonomous version of the HXS1400.
Shown as a prototype at Agritechnica 2025 (AT25) in Kioti red, while labelled as a study model, the black finish of the 142hp tractor at the Italian show is designed to highlight that it is now closer to a market launch.
With a barrage of cameras and sensors integrated into the new smart roof for autonomous operation, while the tractor is still in the homologation process, the concept is ready, says the company.
In fact, the autonomous tractor is already at work in South Korean fields, although the earliest it will be commercially available in Europe is 2028. There could be more in the future, but for now, the HXS1400 is the only autonomous model.
The HSX is a higher spec version of the HX, adding load-sensing hydraulics with 500kg more lift capacity. It uses the same 3.8-litre, four-cylinder engine as the HX and four range, eight powershift transmission with a top speed of 40km/hr.
It has cab suspension, but front axle suspension is not yet available. Other nifty features added to the tractor since AT25 include an ignition key that can start the tractor from outside the cab.
